rachel + matt | pearisburg, va engagement

 

I love shooting sessions in new places, and I really love shooting sessions in locations that are significant to the couple or family I am with!  So I was all for it when Rachel and Matt said they wanted to have their engagement session on property that Matt’s family owns out in Pearisburg…  and it was definitely the right decision!  There were endless wooded hideaways for us to shoot in, and we even took a few frames down by the stream that runs through the property!  And towards the end of our session, we had the most gorgeous glowy sunlight shining through the fall leaves!

But really, the best part about this session was how easily these two seemed to forget that there was a camera pointed at them.  They would nuzzle in close and be totally in the moment, and friends, that is the BEST!  Just see for yourselves… enjoy some of my favorites from this oh-so-romantic fall engagement session!

We grabbed just a few final frames in this next spot after the sun had dipped below the mountain, but I just love how romantic Rachel & Matt made these woods feel, even to the last few minutes of our session! <3
