I met Alexandra and Eric for the first time at their engagement session last night, but we spent our two hours together laughing like lifelong friends. Those are the type of clients that I love, people who open up and are so unafraid to be themselves during our time together.

I barely had to give them any directions, these two are so natural together (as they should be, seeing as they’ve been together for nearly six years). Eric would grab Alex, pull her towards him, nuzzle her forehead, make her laugh. It was perfect and helped produce the images below, some of my absolute favorites ever.

Eric’s family lives on the water, and was an incredible setting.

These. Alexandra just looks so happy.  Eric loved being in the boat! Alexandra, you’re so gorgeous.  Their outfits were so perfectly coordinated. The colors went so well with the setting. These next images are some of my favorites from the session.  That’s The Pastor. He was a nice chicken. 🙂  This! I felt like we were on a tropical island, not in Mechanicsville!  This is why I love these guys. I went out on a limb and asked if they would be up for getting in the water. They weren’t skeptical at all! Eric just rolled up his pants, Alexandra hopped on his back, and they climbed right in. These images are incredible, so natural, and really demonstrate their personalities and how they feel about each other.  Alexandra and Eric, I’m so excited for you guys and can’t wait for your wedding next August!!!! <3
