Since starting my “rebranding” process, I’ve been thinking a lot about what I consistently love shooting. I love the soft, romantic shots that we capture for our couples… but I really feel like I’ve done well with a shoot when I’ve captured the JOY of my couple to some degree. It’s not always easy to capture “Joy” but there are some couples who are naturally joyful and that makes my job easy! Joyful couples are the ideal KJ couple!! So it was such a pleasant surprise to find that Trevor and Becky are not only full of joy, they’re full of laughter!
Oh you’re just going to love these two!!! Becky’s smile is a mile wide and her laughter is contagious! Michael and I absolutely loved walking around Main Street Station and Belle Isle with these two last week! You can’t go wrong with a Richmond engagement session! I’m so SO excited for Trevor and Becky’s wedding day. If it’s just half as fun as their engagement session, we’ll be loving life!! I wish it was sooner but I’ll just have to be patient and remind myself that it’s worth the wait!! Trevor and Becky can make each other laugh so easily and genuinely and you’re going to see that in their pictures! They were a dream to photograph and I can’t wait to share some of my favorites!!!! Enjoy this fall Richmond engagement session!!!!
Look at that smile!!
We started at the beautiful Main Street Station! 
Gah!!! What a dream ring!!! 
One of my favorites! This light was so beautiful! 
It’s like Becky planned her color palette around this street! 
Love this one too!!!
I always look so silly crouched down in the middle of a sidewalk playing with leaves but it’s always worth it!! :)
We made it down to the rocks just in time for the glow!!!
Work itttttttt! Nice! 
One of my favorites hands down! 
This is what happened when I said “Guys! You’re getting married!!!!!!!!” So cute:)
Thanks for reading!
