I met up with Molly & Alex on an early spring morning for their sunrise engagement session at the VMFA! We started our shoot at the upper gardens where Alex had actually proposed just a few months before. We caught the most beautiful morning light coming up over the city. Shortly after we started shooting, we were discussing our hobbies and interests. A few minutes into the conversation, they tell me that they love Lord of the Rings. Of course that stopped me in my tracks because I’m a huge LOTR fan! Then they tell me that Molly’s engagement ring has something very special engraved inside the band. I’ll let you scroll through the pictures to find what it says 🙂 All of my fellow LOTR enthusiasts will appreciate it.

Lucky for us, Richmond had just started to bloom so we headed over to Monument Avenue for the second half of their session. I’ve been dying to shoot over here with one of my couples because its full of beautiful nooks and crannies all up and down the street. These two are tying the knot later this year here in Richmond and I can’t wait 🙂 Until then, enjoy their gorgeous session!
