Sometimes I have to sit back and shake myself to make sure I’m not dreaming. That I get to do this, to be a storyteller through images, for people madly in love? It never ceases to thrill me. Chris & Alyssa found and booked me last April but were both deployed to Afghanistan soon after so we didn’t have a chance to do their engagement session until this past Thursday, which also happened to be two days before their wedding. I’ll admit I was a little bit concerned that doing their e-session so close to the wedding day would put them on photo-overload, but I needn’t have worried- Chris & Alyssa are complete pros in front of the camera! Their engagement session turned out beautifully and their wedding photos? Well, just wait til tomorrow, and you’ll see what I mean :). Enjoy one of my new favorite Old Town Alexandria e-sessions!
