I had been looking forward to photographing Tara and Kyle’s engagement session in Virginia Beach for what seemed like forever! Tara was my little sisters small group leader through the ministry, Intervarsity, in college and we have lots of mutual friends, so I knew her long before she emailed me that she and Kyle had finally gotten engaged! She radiates joy and inner beauty and is so much fun to be around…and I couldn’t wait to meet the guy who captured her heart! I knew he had to be special and it is obvious how perfect they are for one another. They are both so caring and intentional, but I love that they have so much silliness and joy in their relationship. It was so much fun to spend the evening with them…I could’ve photographed them at the beach all day! 

We took these just before their five year anniversary at Virginia Beach where they always go to celebrate their dating anniversary…and just one day before the one year mark before their wedding date! Next June can’t come soon enough! Tara and Kyle, congratulations and thank you so much again for welcoming me into this special time in your lives…I hope you enjoy my favorites from our evening together!
