An 18th century plantation house in the midst of a renovation, my two favorite newlyweds, and a beautiful summer day all made for my favorite shoot ever! I had the pleasure of photographing Holly and Eddie for their
engagement shoot a year ago and they were married in June. I was approached by the president of the restoration society for
the Battersea in historic Petersburg to photograph a bride and groom for their merchandising and advertising campaign. Holly and Eddie were more than happy to put their wedding finery back on and pose for me. We had a fabulous time going through the old rooms and talking about the history of this beautiful home. Thank you, Holly and Eddie for being such amazing models! You make my work so easy!
We scared a young man working on the property with this next photo...he looked up at the window at the exact time she was posing and you could tell that he truly believed that he had seen a ghost! We went downstairs to assure him that she was real and got a big laugh about his "close encounter."
There was no shortage of interesting places to shoot with great textures and interesting stories. Some we could figure out, like the one above (outhouse!).
The one below is beside an old tractor barn.
Holly, you are gorgeous!
Such a beautiful place...such a fun couple...
He is goofy. He would be the first to admit it. Loves to dance to Miley Cyrus' "Party in the USA!" He loves to make her laugh and he does it often. She loves his smile and his down to earth personality. They are getting married May of 2012 and I was thrilled to be chosen to take their engagement photos. We went to Yorktown beach because it holds a special place in their hearts. The Pub, the pier, and a mosquito infested bike path were some of their favorites. Tim and Jennifer, you are both so much fun and I had a blast taking your pictures. Here is your sneak peek!
For this series, you might want to ask your children to leave the room. Holly and Eddie wanted to get a little steamy and they really heated up the beach!
Holly and Eddie are big fans of the vintage look and wanted to incorporate that look into their photos. A vintage tux on eBay and a vintage dress and flower plus an amazing backdrop made for a beautiful series of photos.
Ah, young love!!! Holly and Eddie have to be the most awesomest, funnest, coolest couple on the planet! He is so smitten with her and she with him. We had an absolute blast shooting for their engagement photos. They were both full of ideas and so I am going to stretch this out over several posts. Enjoy!
