The Capitol went under construction so we pivoted to using the VMFA in downtown Richmond instead! Not a problem! We’re flexible! Then….
The pedestrian bridge to Belle Isle closed down the DAY of the shoot because of falling concrete! What are the chances?! So my question is, could you tell that these locations were back-up spots?! I sure can’t! I’m so proud of these two for being flexible and trusting! They are the epitome of an amazing KJ Couple and I’m thrilled that Michael and I get to be a small part of their story!!
These two work together in the wedding industry and I see so much of their hustle season in our own story. They are growing dynamic businesses and it’s fun to see a young couple pursuing what they love and thriving at it! We tend to photograph a lot of photographer’s weddings these days and it’s honestly so much fun because they get it. They get the excitement over even, clean and glowy light. They get the thrill of finding layering foregrounds. They also get what it feels like to have to come up with a new location idea on the fly when something comes up that was unexpected! I can’t WAIT for our All Access members to get to see this episode one day in the future!!
Enjoy my favorites and get excited to see these two on their wedding day!!!!
Thanks for reading!

Who doesn’t love the sparkler exit photo as the couple is sent off after their wedding?! It’s a classic! However, the traditional sparkler exit can often lead to challenges that can easily be avoided. This is where the concept of a controlled sparkler exit comes in!
It’s hard to believe that I upgraded to the Canon R6 four years ago! It’s the backbone of my photography, and while it’s been a loyal companion, I’m at a point where I have to ask: is it time for an upgrade? This question comes up a lot, especially from photographers who bought the R6 when it first launched, and many are wondering if the Canon R6MkII is worth the investment.
