Snow + Love in Hampton Roads | Virginia Film Photographers | Michael and Carina Photography

Virginia Film Photographers | Hampton Roads Engagement Photographers | Yorktown Photographers

Last week when snow blanketed Hampton Roads, and Yorktown turned into a scene from a Christmas postcard, (despite it being the end of January), there was one thought on our minds: how soon can we get out of our driveway to go make some beautiful images?
Fortunately, we didn’t have to wait long. Sarah and David were just as enthusiastic about the opportunity to get out and shoot, and our lovely apartment maintenence crews had our driveway cleared by 10am.
There was one main rule- we wanted to see how a session in the snow would look on film, so we photographed almost exclusively with our Contax 645s, using Fuji400h & Kodak Portra 400 film. We were also so thankful to have Justin Ferry tag along and shoot with us despite below-freezing temperatures.

Sarah and David are not engaged; they’ve been together for 8 months.Their love for each other really kept them warm on camera; and when they needed some extra warmth, they cuddled under their blanket together. What you guys don’t see – Carina and I cuddled up in the blanket too-  while we were shooting- to try and keep warm!

Sarah is a devoted blogger; you can read her review of her experience here.
Sarah and David, you guys are too beautiful.
We’re looking forward to following your love story in the coming years!
