Waking up at sunrise never gets old! I love the crisp and calm air…. add in a couple madly in love and you’ve got perfection! This past Sunday, I grabbed a cup of coffee and left my house at 6am. The extra hour from day light savings were just what I needed to recharge. From the very first e-mail inquiry, I adored Annika and Nick! Their energy and excitement was electric! I shouldn’t have been surprised since this couple met in photography school. They truly value the importance of capturing images and I am honored they choose me! Since moving from Florida to start their lives together in Virginia, we really want to show off the colorful fall foliage during their session.  The second Annika and Nick pulled up in their car… I knew this session was going to rock! They were dressed in fall staples…. a sweater dress and tweed blazer. The weather was a bit cold but that only meant more snuggling for them. We explored the Stone Bridge and the surrounding areas of Manassas battlefield. Time flew by so quickly! I felt like I’ve known these two for much longer. They are so genuine and fun to be around. They got married this past August and are VERY much in love. I couldn’t have imagined a better way to start my morning!

P.S. Happy early birthday Annika! I hope you two cherish these photos forever!
