It was the peak of autumn in Virginia when I met up with Christie and Kyle for their engagement session in Harrisonburg. With the days counting down to their December wedding, it was also the perfect time for me to get to know them a little and have them feel comfortable being in front of the camera. I had such a great time and I’m pretty sure they did too :) We started out at the JMU arboretum and I can’t even believe how gorgeous the colors where there – these photos only had minor enhancements, it really is natural!
The weeping willow in the arboretum was gorgeous from two different locations – with completely different feels as well.
After our second stop in downtown Harrisonburg, having fun with the textures of city walls and seeing some of Kyle’s favorite haunts from his days at JMU, we headed just a few miles out of the city for wide open spaces. Once again, it was incredibly scenic.
I love this last one! So, how do you like Harrisonburg – not bad for an engagement session, or a new hometown! There’s lots of interesting places to explore and I like the mix of city and country; it doesn’t take long to drive from one to the other. I can’t wait to bring you more from where I’m at as I continue to get established in Virginia so of course, stay tuned. Kyle and Christie I can’t wait for the wedding – see you soon!
