Chrissy & John, It’s a Match: Virginia Engagement Photography

April 19, 2013

Chrissy and John were so much fun to photograph.  I could have photographed them for hours really…  and the good news is I get to this January as they will be my first wedding of 2014.  I have the best results with engagement photography when couples are willing to relax and just have fun.  That’s exactly what we did here.  They just ran through a series of motions and played and played and played some more.  Chrissy and John are the nicest couple and I can’t say enough how fortunate I am to work with couples like them.  They are so kind, generous, funny, and loving with each other.  It’s no surprise too as Chrissy is the sister of Joanna, one of my brides from this past September.  Joanna has the same kind nature as Chrissy and it’s such a pleasure to work with their family again and again.

Enjoy these lovelies and if you feel inclined, help them win a mini album by leaving 30 unique comments on the blog.

      Thank you Susan. I’m not sure if being in my third year of shooting weddings qualifies as new anymore but I sure do love shooting weddings and couples in general 🙂

    Once again you’ve done a fantastic job, Shauna. I love the one where she is facing him looking up but they all are great.
