Williamsburg Winery engagement photographers Michael and Carina Photography

First of all, we can’t congratulate this lovely lady enough as she graduates today!

Andrew, who always seems to have the heartiest laughs and the brightest smile, asked Jessica to be his bride in Virginia Beach.

There were lanterns and romance in the salty air.

She said yes.

These two have so much spirit and enthusiasm for life, you can’t help but be blessed just to be near them.

Jessica and Andrew are special to us, not just because of how much they love each other, but also for becoming friends of ours since asking us to photograph their wedding.

Also, for introducing us to Red Robin.

For their engagement photos, Andrew and Jessica chose the Williamsburg Winery to be the backdrop for their session.

Jessica’s hair & makeup was styled the day of by Kristal Lane of Virginia Beach.

To foreshadow her bridal bouquet, Jessica also received an elegantly simple & lovely flower crown from our friends at Palette of Petals.

The lovely staff of Williamsburg Winery welcomed these two on the day of their engagement with a picnic basket and some of their best wine.

We have to thank Andrew for his positive thinking, too. Despite a 60+% chance of rain, and at times a forbidding looking sky, the rain held off. Andrew “chose to believe it wouldn’t rain,” and it didn’t.

We ended the lovely day with a private tour of the cellar.

Andrew and Jessica, thank you for inviting us to capture all of the fun and and beauty of your love story and your big day! We are so looking forward to your August wedding!

xoxo M & C
