Lulu + Kevin's Richmond Engagement Session

Remember when we weren’t all stuck at home?? Yeah, so do we. What better way to pine for those days than by sharing a beautiful engagement session all around our favorite hometown, Richmond VA? These photos were captured by Sarah and we can’t wait until we can go back out for more photo adventures!

Meet the Couple

When we asked Lulu and Kevin why they wanted to hire us for their wedding, they told us:

We both are architects and appreciate the quality and the vision you capture in your photos. We also like the candid nature of the images and the artistic approach you have in your portfolio. Plus, you seem like an open minded and friendly group that we would love to surround ourselves with on the day of our wedding.

Wow, no pressure! For their engagement session at the VMFA, our photographer Sarah was able to incorporate some more design/architecture-focused elements as background to Lulu and Kevin’s sweet interactions and undeniable love for each other. The part of the engagement session along the Richmond Canal Walk featured more colorful backdrops and a little more of a whimsical vibe. Our only regret was that we didn’t get to include their cat Mittens in the shoot :)

Lulu described Kevin as “the more zen half” of her, and Kevin told us simply, “I couldn't have asked for a better woman to spend the rest of my life with.” These two creatives are overflowing with love for each other and it shows.
