I recently realized that blogging the couple’s images is one of my FAVORITE parts of the process…why? Because I love putting the images together and seeing how they tell a story! My goal is to try to shoot in a way that the images flow together…so they’re not just stand alone images, they’re a story of each couple’s love! I know that might sound cheesy, but it’s true. And hey, I’m a WEDDING photographer, being mushy is allowed sometimes;)
This whole storytelling element is another reason I like to encourage my couples to choose locations that MEAN something to them for their engagement session. No, the engagement session images aren’t as important as your wedding images…I mean, how can they compare…seriously? But the engagement pictures are important too, because they’re a record of a time in your life when not only did you make a commitment to make a commitment to this special person, but a lot of other changes may be happening as well, like new jobs, new homes, living together, etc. It’s a whole new chapter in your life!
I loved that Emily and Tommy chose to do their engagement session in Blacksburg, at the Virginia Tech campus. It was only my second time there, but I have to say that I LOVE Virginia Tech! I didn’t end up going to college myself, but I’ve been to a few campuses, and I think Tech is my favorite! Sorry, John! Emily and Tommy both went to Virginia Tech and their wedding will be in Blacksburg this summer! I’m so excited about their wedding because they are so adorable together and Emily is super creative!
Here are a few of my favorites from their session!
