Richmond Spring Picnic Engagement Session | Garnett's RVA | Libby Hill | Richmond Wedding Photographer

When planning engagement sessions I like to ask my couples a series of questions to not only get to know them better but to also plan their engagement session in a way that is intimate and meaningful to them. For Catherann and John it was obvious which place held the most meaning to them. Scuffletown Park is where they said their first “I love you”, had a memorable picnic and where John five months ago proposed. So that’s where we went!

Our session began at Garnett’s where they picked up their to-go order for their picnic just as they did two years ago. We then walked to Scuffletown Park with their pup, Bacon and I stepped back as they set up their picnic, enjoyed their dinner and sipped some vino. We talked about life, their favorite and funny memories of each other and how excited they are to be getting married later this year.

Our evening ended at Libby Hill with a gorgeous sunset, lifted spirits and pure excitement to work together again in the near future. I’m always so thankful for the opportunity engagement sessions give to bond with couples before their wedding day.
