engaged couple hugging and kissing with skyline and river flowing behind them

Since moving to Richmond, Virginia, I’ve found so many amazing clients, turned friends! Julia and Cutter happened to be mutual friends with one of my besties from college. When we all joined the same intramural kickball team with club Waka last spring we had so much fun getting to know each other before they hired me on to photograph their wedding at the Barns of Kanak, next year!

For their engagement session we explored Browns Island near the James River in Richmond Virginia. Luckily the evening summer rain showers held off to capture some beautiful views of the city! Julia and Cutter even included a few fun & meaningful props in their photos. These two met through a social bowling league, and brought along their bowling balls to commemorate the occasion!

Scroll through to see a few favorites from their summer engagement portraits overlooking the Richmond city skyline!
