Jessica and Neel | ENGAGED!!

I met Jessica and Neel almost a year ago when I did their dear friends’, Erin and Mike’s engagement session and wedding. When Jessica called and asked if I was available for her wedding date, I was thrilled!  I not only love photographing one of the most important days in a person’s life, I also love when friends of my past brides choose me to be their photographer!  🙂

I was so excited when Jessica told me she wanted to have her engagement session in Goochland!  It is absolutely one of my FAVORITE places to photograph!!  I did an engagement session there last fall, and it is still one of my favorite engagement sessions to date!  Anyone who has been to the country knows how peaceful and beautiful it is and our family goes there quite frequently….our last visit was on the 4th of July!  But what made this session SO special was that…..minutes after arriving, it started POURING!  I’m not talking just rain….I mean downpour!!  I know what you’re thinking…….how could that be special?!  Well, I will get to that in just a moment! 🙂  So, I honestly thought that we were going to have to cancel the shoot, but Jessica, Neel, and I calmly waited for the storm to pass.  We got the chance to talk and get to know each other better and I really enjoyed this time with them.  Before we knew it, the sun was shining!  Ok, so here’s the best part!…..Neel was walking around enjoying the beautiful scenery, when he spotted a GORGEOUS rainbow!  And not just any rainbow….a DOUBLE rainbow!(ok, this reminds me of that song on youtube lol!)  It was AMAZING!  I was just blown away at the beauty of our world and that the three of us were getting to witness God’s beauty together.  That alone made the session worth more than anything!

I had such a fun time with Jessica and Neel and I am thrilled to be a part of their big day in October!
