Leesburg Lifestyle Engagement Session | Virginia Wedding Photographer

As a couples photographer there is no denying that I am naturally the glorified third wheel in this relationship…might as well just invite me on your date nights while we are at it, right? 🤗😂

but for real now, shoots like Courtney and Tim’s are the type that fuel me & are so dear to my heart! the sessions centered around what you enjoy and treasure as a couple!

–> Like if you’re foodies lets break some bread together (or in our case order a few bowls of fries)

–>If you’re an adventurous soul lets climb a freakin mountain!!

–> enjoy long walks down the isles of target? cue Jackson 5 because JUST CALL MY NAME AND I’LL BE THERE !!

One of my greatest honors as a photographer is getting to tell the stories of my couples love. That’s the good stuff that will never get old! At the root of it all, I desire to know my clients on a deeper level so that I can share their story in a true authentic way. I’ve found that the best way for me to do that is by incorporating activities that really reflect who my clients are + what they treasure into their portrait experience with me and IT SHOWS IN THEIR IMAGES !! I’m a full on believer that your photo session shouldn’t be stiff or uncomfortable — rather a playful, carefree, and enjoyable time where heyyy! bonus: you also walk away with some killer portraits too 😉

We started Timi & Court’s engagement session at Sidebar in downtown leesburg, which is one of my faveee spots for endless reasons, but the obvious ones being:

-THERE MENU IS MONEY: & HANDS-DOWN HAVE THE BEST FRENCH FRIES I’VE EVER TRIED✔️

-IT HAS THE CUTEST OUTDOOR PATIO VIBE✔️

-THEY HAVE A STINKIN’ COFFEE BAR CONNECTED TO THEIR RESTAURANT ✔️

need I say more??

They had “HIS & HER” bowls of fries (my people), enjoyed some fun happy hour drinks, swung around in a modern egg chair (cuteness pictured below), then we explored downtown leesburg and captured all the giggles + goofyness of these two and just sort of adore how how true these photos are to their personalities! love how effortless and natural their session was & can’t wait for you to see them as you scroll through!
