These college sweethearts decided to have their engagement session where they first met – University of Richmond! Nick and Nora met in a biology class. Nora was the first to talk to him, but Nick was the one who made some effort to make sure they sat at the same table so they could work […]

I just think these two are the sweetest. Ali said over and over again how she was nervous – I hear that and get excited [sorry, Ali!] because that means my clients will trust me to do my job! But honestly, it also means that their session will be amazing. Ali and Mike were so […]
