shannon & kevin: lifestyle engagement session.

It was so much fun meeting Shannon and Kevin in Old Town Alexandria - my new favorite place :) I went along with Amber Reinink for this lifestyle engagement session and I'm so glad I did! Kevin has a passion for photography, specifically black and white, so it was fun to shoot for someone who really appreciates what goes into the art and really has an eye for it. Shannon was bright, confident, fun, and had such a positive vibe. They were those type of people who never have something negative to say, always talking about ideas, experiences, memories, and the excitement of creating their new life together. Plus, Shannon walked for hours in heels and didn't ever complain, so she gets major points from me. Their cozy little home was like something out of a movie, and so was their love. Bread was baking, it was sprinkled with great color and vintage photography equipment, beautiful and simple black and white photos, and a feel of warmth and simplicity. Being invited into someones home is always so cool and gives you a really good feel of who they are as individuals and how they come together as a couple. I love to see how two people, especially two people like Shannon and Kevin, who met on e-harmony and made a long distance relationship last through the years, came together and create this comfortable, eclectic oasis and are building a beautiful life. Doing engagement sessions is such an honor because it's an opportunity to capture and bottle that essence of unique love at the beginning of the rest of two people's lives together. Thanks for letting me come along!
