Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Engagement Session | Chimuel and Kaitlin | Richmond, VA Wedding Photographer

I had the pleasure of meeting Chimuel and Kaitlin a while back and as we talked about their wedding plans, their excitement was contagious!  They share a lot of common interests and I enjoyed getting to know them.  After seeing these two together and how they interact, it’s easy to see that they are so in love. They love to laugh and and their love shows through in their images so genuinely.

In Kaitlin’s words, “We met through mutual friends while in college; over the course of time we grew to know each other but it wasn’t until after we went to a concert together that things started to pick up. It started as a night filled with corny jokes and endless laughter, neither of us slept that night because we just kept talking and enjoyed each others’ company. It quickly became a long distance relationship, separated by a drive between Harrisonburg and Richmond though we packed every weekend and moment together with activities and long drives out on winding roads. After enduring over a year of driving back and forth, we decided to start our lives in Richmond. Things only picked up speed from there; we added a puppy, got engaged and purchased our first home all within a year of moving in together… the engagement itself is its own story.

Chimuel was scheduled to have a work conference in Seattle, Washington the first week of June and I had planned to fly out there for a long weekend after his work was finished. Seattle was a city both of us had always wanted to visit together and this had been the perfect opportunity to go. Since our trip out there was just for a long weekend, we tried fitting in everything we could. The one thing we absolutely made sure to do was to go to the top of the Seattle Space Needle, which we visited multiple times. But one of those times neither one of us will ever forget. That one special night began with dinner perfectly timed with the sunset in the restaurant at the top of the Space Needle. This unique restaurant rotates which enables you to see the skyline of the whole city and the Puget Sound so we were able to see the sunset from all around. After we finished dessert, we headed up to the observation deck to see the city lit up at night. Both of us were leaning on the railing admiring the city when all of a sudden Chimuel had dropped something. By the time I had turned to see what it was, he was bending down on one knee asking me to marry him!”

I’m so excited for their wedding in December!  Until then, enjoy some of my favorites from their session!!!
