Engagement sessions are about choosing a setting that feels natural to you — somewhere that allows space to move, talk, and simply be together. As a Richmond engagement photographer, I guide couples toward locations that photograph beautifully while still feeling relaxed and unforced. Many of these engagement locations are also places where I photograph weddings, allowing couples to feel comfortable and confident in front of my camera long before their wedding day.
