Sarah and Brett….so happy together

Sunday, May 25th, 2008

I met Sarah when she was in 7th grade and I was her youth group leader. Fast forward ten years and now I am looking at the adult version of her. Although Sarah has an incredibly youthful face, she is a successful nurse and happily engaged to the vivacious Brett.
When we got the call that Sarah was planning an August wedding and she needed “the works” from Kellan Studios..engagement, bridal and wedding coverage….we jumped on it. It is so fun to photograph people you have so much history with.
Brett and Sarah were an absolute blast to shoot. They have so much energy and expression together. We ended up driving into the country to an abandoned house I remembered seeing years ago. Fingers crossed that it was still there. Jackpot….right where I remembered it.
So besides being on tick and snake alert in the tall grass, we had the most relaxed shoot in a long time. Enjoy our favorite moments.

We introduced Amy Canne Longo, bride of the year for the Central Virginia Bridal Guide, in our March engagement session. Well the bridal guide needed some bridal portraits done ASAP to add to their article in the guide. We hopped on board for a really quick, windy and chilly bridal portrait session. Amy was a complete trooper because it was COLD!!!! The wind worked to our advantage blowing her red tresses creating some ultra sassy photos. Amy and Derek tied the not this last weekend, sneak peek photos to come soon! For now, enjoy a windy Amy.
