Carla + Jhoni Couple's Session San Juan, Puerto Rico | Feminist Photo Vaycay | Richmond Queer Wedding Photographer

I was traveling back home from Puerto Rico when the news about Covid-19 started panic and quarantines globally. It’s crazy to think that was just five weeks ago when it feels like five months ago. Being in quarantine made me appreciate this trip more than I even thought was possible. Feminist Photo Vaycay is an AMAZING trip, hosted by Here Now Magic, that brings like-minded, feminist photographers from all over, together for three days of fun, bonding, creating and learning.

Aside from reuniting with friends after a busy wedding season, something to look forward to at Feminist Photo Vaycay are the rad styled shoots put together for us. This colorful shoot in Old San Juan was everything. We had a stunning, real couple, Carla and Jhoni model for us as we went around town posing them in beautiful light and colorful backdrops. Carla and Jhoni were so go with the flow with our ideas and did incredible even while having 15-20 cameras on them for a few hours.

I hope you enjoy all of the love and color in these photos. Seeing them takes me back to a time when my extroverted heart was completely full. Being in quarantine has made me realize just how important it is to have a community of like-minded folx. We have been staying in communication via Zoom, creating photo challenges to keep each other inspired and doing regular wellness checks. I miss times when social-distancing wasn’t a thing but MY GOSH am I fortunate to have the support and love of others when going through such a lonely and confusing time.
