I am thrilled to share Michelle and Tim’s Norfolk Botanical Gardens engagement session on the blog today! Recently, the three of us spent an evening at the Gardens to celebrate their upcoming wedding with beautiful pictures of their story so far. Despite the overcast skies, the gardens are a beautiful and serene setting, and were the perfect place for Michelle and Tim to celebrate their love.
Fun fact: These two are actually already married, having tied the knot at the courthouse this past December. However, they are looking forward to a formal ceremony and celebration at the gardens this coming fall. They met in 2020 and have been inseparable ever since. They are both kind, compassionate, and intelligent people and are clearly meant to be together.
Our session started in the renaissance garden with Michelle and Tim (and their playful pup Astro!) walking side-by-side over the brick pavement. They stopped to admire the flowers and take in the scenery as we visited several other locations at the gardens, including: The Sarah Lee Baker Perennial Garden and the Butterfly Garden.
After walking around a bit, these two warmed up nicely in front of the camera. They laughed and smiled, and their love for each other was evident. By the end of our session, Michelle mentioned that she was so glad we did the engagement session because she now felt relaxed and prepared for the wedding day. I couldn’t agree more!
Michelle and Tim are such a beautiful couple, and their love is truly inspiring. I wish them all the best in their future together.
Here are some of my favorite photos from the session:

Let me be honest with you: planning a wedding in coastal Virginia can sometimes feel like rolling the dice. One moment, you’re dreaming of a gorgeous beach ceremony or a sun-kissed garden party, and the next, you’re watching the forecast frantically as clouds gather, or worse—there’s talk of rain, thunderstorms, or a hurricane brewing offshore […]
When Nicki and I first spoke on the phone, I immediately felt that we would be a great team to capture her wedding in August. Nicki wanted an elegant and sophisticated event that would focus on joy and celebration rather than posed photo ops, and I was completely on board with that! Over a glass […]
The forecast called for all-day rain up until a few days before Mike and Lydia Grace’s wedding at the Virginia Cliffe Inn in Richmond, Virgina. Despite the rain scare passing, the forecast still predicted nothing more than overcast skies and drab clouds. Fortunately, the weather cleared up at the last minute, and the day turned […]

At the beginning of this year, I teamed up with House of Nataliah for a special giveaway that included professional hair and makeup with Nataliah and a couples session with me. After hundreds of entries, Kamryn & Lawson were my lucky winners! Kamryn was so excited when she won. “I never win anything!” were the […]
Scott & Carolyn officially joined their lives in matrimony amongst a backdrop of spring florals, surrounded by beloved family and friends. Their ceremony and reception were held at The Maine of Williamsburg, a breathtakingly beautiful new venue in Williamsburg, Virginia. The mood was calm when I walked through the stone entrance of The Maine. Tracy, […]
