MYKKAH PHOTOGRAPHY – Richmond, Alexandria, Central Virginia, Washington D.C., Charleston, Lewisburg, Central West Virginia, Raleigh, Central North Carolina – Wedding Photography

We had such a wonderful time with Alex and Kristin as we shot their engagement session on the gorgeous campus of VMI in Lexington, Virginia. Not only was it a beautiful day, but Alex being a VMI graduate filled us in on some hilarious not so traditional “traditions” as well as some of VMI’s richest. We spent most of the day laughing and talking while their down to earth personalities made us feel like old friends. It was an awesome day and we even got to see a four-star general land in his helicopter as Alex and Kristin were off changing outfits! This day was a blast and we’d do it again in a heart beat!

Beautiful outdoor scenery, a cute couple in love, and a vintage vibe… Um can you say DREAM SESSION!  I knew we had to think of the perfect setting for these two, but after hearing that we had a thunderstorm warning it looked like we were going to get rained out. Luckily Stephen and Kandice were an adventurous duo and when we proposed the idea of trying to outrun the rain they jumped on it! We headed east (which was the only direction that appeared to be dry) as we watched the radar map on our cell phones praying for no rain! Thankfully the rain let up around Richmond and a fox hunt was in store! The Deep Run Hunt Club was our destination and while we had an amazing time taking in the scenery and laughing it up, we had even a better time getting to know Stephen and Kandice. Great people, great pictures, and a great day all together!

We met Lindsey at a local bridal fair and she was the winner of our free engagement session. We were delighted to get the opportunity to shoot this session with her and her fiance, Matt. Upon meeting the couple, we learned that Matt didn’t really like to take pictures. But being the good man that he is, he put on a smile and did this for Lindsey. Boy, are we glad that he did- because these pictures turned out beautiful! Little did they know, they’d be climbing through small alley ways and up hills (in her heels). This fun loving couple did it all and with a good attitude!

Throughout this shoot we spent the day quite literally running from the rain. Despite the weather, Allison and Scott’s warm personalities continued to show through and made this day memorable to the last drop. Recently Mykkah photography has been experimenting with some new “experiential” techniques of which Scott and Allison were participants. These techniques not only allow our couples to get some killer pictures, but also to reignite the love and passion which brought them together in the first place. Allison and Scott were one of the first couples that we tried these techniques with and as these pictures show, we were able to capture their genuine love for one another.
