Anna & Matt Engagement Session

There are places that carry history, and then there are places that feel quietly magical. For Anna and Matt, the University of Richmond was the perfect backdrop for their engagement session — elegant, timeless, and glowing with fall color.

As a Richmond wedding photographer, I love when couples are intentional not just about how they want their photos to look, but how they want the experience to feel. Anna and Matt showed up ready to enjoy the moment, and it made all the difference.

An Effortless Engagement Session on Campus

Anna and Matt were such a joy to photograph that I honestly could have stayed with them all afternoon. Their connection felt easy and genuine — the kind that naturally brings out laughter, softness, and those in-between moments that make engagement photos feel real.

If you’ve ever visited the University of Richmond in the fall, you know how special it is. The campus offers a refined, classic look without feeling overly formal, and every corner photographs beautifully in autumn light.

Favorite Engagement Locations at the University of Richmond

We explored several areas across campus, each offering its own mood and texture:

The iconic brick archways, perfect for elegant, editorial-style portraits
The lake area, where the light softens and creates a calm, romantic feel

The variety within one location makes the University of Richmond an ideal engagement spot for couples who want both structure and softness in their gallery.

Why Engagement Sessions Matter

One of my favorite parts of engagement sessions is that they serve as a quiet rehearsal for the wedding day.

This is where we build comfort, trust, and confidence in front of the camera — so when the wedding day arrives, everything feels natural.

What We Practiced During Their Session

Natural walking prompts
Classic, timeless poses
Editorial-style framing
Even a practice aisle-exit dip (because yes — that cinematic moment matters)

By the end of the session, Anna and Matt moved with ease, laughed freely, and felt completely comfortable — exactly how I want every couple to feel before their wedding day.

Looking Ahead to 2026

Anna and Matt booked The Golden Collection for their 2026 wedding, which includes an engagement session as part of the experience. This allows couples to build connection and confidence long before the wedding day arrives.

This collection offers:

A full engagement session to get comfortable with my posing style
A beautiful gallery for save-the-dates, wedding websites, and décor
A relaxed, meaningful experience that sets the tone for the wedding day

Anna and Matt, thank you for such a wonderful afternoon. Your joy, ease, and connection made this session unforgettable. I’m already counting down the days until your 2026 wedding — it’s going to be incredible.
