Alex and Ashleigh | Engaged!

I met Ashleigh and Alex at sunrise one morning here in Richmond for their engagement session…I was really impressed because they really loved the idea of a sunrise shoot even though they were coming from out of town…these two got up SUPER early that morning to drive up and arrive at the Capital Building at 6:45 AM….and I have to say it was definitely worth it!!! I hope they agree :)..

The lighting was so pretty and it was so nice to feel like we had the city to ourselves…On a Saturday morning that early, the usual hustle and bustle in downtown Richmond was absent (aside from one other photographer wearing a Hawaiian shirt who seemed to be taking nature shots on the capital building grounds (?))…he was actually in the background of a few shots, but I was able to edit him out…haha!

Ashleigh and Alex are such fun people and they made my job so easy!! They went to Tech too so I had so much fun walking around with them and talking about our college experience, as well as hearing more about their upcoming wedding day! I cant WAIT to see Ashleigh as a bride!!

Thanks for letting me capture this special time in your lives you two!! I hope you enjoy my favorites from the morning!

I love how soft the light in the morning is…

Adorable!

Ashleigh, you are too cute!!

These next ones are some of my favorites!

So stylish…I loved their outfit choices…

You both have really good model faces!!

I love black and white photos…They feel so timeless!

Beautiful…

Congratulations again you too! Your wedding day cant come soon enough!!
