Fort Monroe, near Norfolk, Virginia
Amber and Mike's Fort Monroe engagement session was a chilly day in January. It's a special one for me because Amber is my sister and second shooter!
Located in Hampton Roads, Virginia, overlooking the Chesapeake Bay. It was the only federal fort in the Upper South to remain under Federal control throughout the Civil War.
If you haven't done a Fort Monroe engagement shoot (or any shoot for that matter), you're missing out! There are so many gorgeous places to take pictures!
Wedding photography for engaged couples throughout Virginia including Yorktown, Richmond, Virginia Beach, Charlottesville, Norfolk, Hampton Roads, and Outer Banks.
The gorgeous fall colors were the perfect backdrop for this historic Fort Monroe engagement session in Hampton Va - especially since we got the insider tour
Within the fort is the Casemate Museum, which chronicles the military history of Fort Monroe from the construction of Fort Algernourne, the first defensive fortification at the site in 1609, through the last major command to be headquartered at Fort Monroe, the Army’s Training and Doctrine Command. The museum features the room where Jefferson Davis was held briefly as prisoner following the American Civil War, highlights the 1861 “Contraband of War” decision that granted three enslaved men, and thousands who followed, sanctuary at Fort Monroe, earning it the nickname “Freedom’s Fortress."

I remember many years ago when Megan first met Josiah - and the reason I remember it so clearly is because she is my little sister and I had the privilege of seeing their relationship unfold from the very beginning. She came home from a music practice one day talking all about this extremely good-looking guy she had met, and how badly she wanted to get to know him. After a little longer of being too scared to say anything, she eventually bit the bullet and decided she would jump in with both feet. It's safe to say they're both very thankful she did :) After several years of dating, all of us knew it was only a matter of time before we were planning their wedding, but trying to guess when Josiah would propose was driving us all crazy (in a good way)! Finally, on a trip to Niagara Falls, he played a song he wrote for her and pulled out the ring. I'll never forget the call I got when Megan, through a massive amount of tears, told me on the other end of the phone that she was ENGAGED! And now here we were, on a beautiful fall day at Fort Monroe in Hampton, taking their engagement pictures. It felt like a dream to be able to capture this moment in their lives that was such a long time coming, through years of a long-distance friendship that slowly grew into so much more. I could talk on and on but I have to let the gorgeous sunset and their sweet smiles speak for themselves.......
Ben has so much ahead of him! He is smart and...
