I don’t think I’ve ever laughed as much as I did when I captured these two! I had the pleasure of finally meeting Leah & Sean, who drove all the way out to Manassas from Baltimore for their engagement session. It was so fitting though since I will be capturing their special day in October at the Winery at Bull Run which was right next door to where we were this past Saturday. After our session together, we even drove over to the winery together to check out the gorgeous venue as I have never been there before- Yes, you read that right, lol. I’ve lived in the Manassas area for most of my life, but I’ve never been to that particular winery which is mostly due to the fact that I’m not a wine drinker. Yes, you also read that correctly 😉
It was certainly a chilly day as I think this was the first session I captured complete with camera in hand, leather jacket & scarf 😉 However, once we started moving we were able to warm up a bit. I absolutely cannot wait to spend more time with this amazing couple in October! Leah & Sean had the best sense of humor, & I knew this was going to be an awesome couple when I laid eyes upon Sean’s “Commonwealth of Virginia” bow tie that he had on 🙂 Sean brought so much energy to the session, that I can only imagine what their wedding day is going to be like- it’s going to be SO much fun & SO entertaining! I told Leah & Sean that my only desire for them was to to feel relaxed, & to feel like they could be themselves in front of the camera. Not only did they do just that, but they nailed every pose! They were naturals, while their genuine emotion showed through. I just loved how Leah’s smile & laugh was so genuine & real, bc I’m pretty sure Sean was making some comments in Leah’s ear everytime I had them do the “nuzzle” pose 😉 Sean’s sarcastic, yet hilarious comments kept the session alive, lol. Every session needs his kind of humor! Lastly, I was blown away by Leah’s engagement ring. You won’t believe this rock! I was even more surprised when Leah told me that it was her grandmother’s ring- it looked like something you would buy in the stores today! It was so beautiful, flawless & it makes me look forward to capturing those detail shots on their wedding day that much more, lol.
Leah & Sean, thank you so much for choosing Brooke Danielle Photography. You guys were so awesome to work with, & I know your wedding day will be one like no other 😉 Here are just a few of my favorite images from your session. Enjoy!
