Portraits

Stephen + Maggie | Married

A Church Hill Anniversary Shoot

filed in:

If you follow us on Instagram, you may have seen that we’ve been away at a retreat with some other friends in the industry. It’s been amazing to get away and learn new things in Middleburg and it makes me thankful for friends that can be long distance and yet you pick up right where you left off every time you see them. Maggie and Stephen have been these friends for YEARS!! …. Over a decade actually!

We’re both so busy with life that we don’t get to see each other very often but whenever we do have a chance to be in the same place, it’s like no time has passed at all! Maggie and Stephen were high school sweethearts with Michael and I. We walked those long hallways of Caroline High School with our boyfriends that later became our husbands and that seems like ages ago!! This past week, Maggie and Steve celebrated their 4th anniversary and they just happened to be in Richmond! So naturally, they needed some portraits! It was such an honor to snap a few pictures of our beautiful friends and I can’t wait to show you my favorites!!!
