Engagement Sessions

Virginia + Shelby’s Engagement Session

Every chance they got, Virginia + Shelby would whisper to each other, and we would instantly watch their faces light up. Even in between photos, they wouldd be walking along, laughing, holding hands, and having so much fun together. Not only were they natural in front of the camera, they were in their own world, having the time of their lives.

Y’all, we do not know if we have ever worked with such a fun-loving, joyful, laughter-filled couple before. Seriously, Virginia and Shelby had such a great time together during their engagement session! You will completely understand what we mean when you see their photos! Truly, they had the best time and were so happy just being together. We continually found ourselves smiling and laughing behind the camera at the amount of joy they were radiating. It’s not often that we leave a session gushing quite to the point we were after theirs. They just make you feel so blessed to be around them, witnessing their chemistry, love, and friendship.

It is an honor to be their photographers + filmmakers for their wedding day next year at the Barn at Shady Lane! Based on seeing them at their engagement session, we know for a fact that their wedding day will be a blast and that they will have an amazing, fun-filled day. Let the countdown to their wedding day begin!

Blessings,
Katie & Alec
