Although these two are already married, I still wanted to share their Big Spring Farm summer engagement session 🙂

I’ve known Savanna and Colin for years through JMU Ultimate, and it has been such an honor to capture their love story.

Some of you may remember that I photographed their proposal on Valentine’s Day of 2019. We cooked up a whole plan for a Galentine’s Day photo shoot with Sav and her best friends on the Quad on Valentine’s Day. Colin lived in Texas at the time, but he flew in the night before. I told the girls that I would get individual photos of them and that Sav would be first. As she looked towards me, Colin walked up behind her and surprised her. Sav screamed, then started jumping around and crying. In the video that one of our friends took, you can hear all of us crying. It was an emotional day for all of us and I was so lucky to be part of it.

Two years later, I photographed these engagement photos for them while they were visiting Virginia after moving away. Then four months later (last month), I photographed their wedding (which will come to the blog soon).

We met at Big Spring Farm this spring just as the trees started blooming, and we had the most magical light for their waterfront engagement session. After walking around and taking photos with all the beautiful trees, we ended the session by getting into the canoe and fighting the wind to get some fun water photos.

All the love for Savanna and Colin as they continue on this journey together <3
