Lauren and Nick - Engagements

There's something about fall that reminds me of college. Walking through crispy, fallen leaves on a sidewalk will always remind me of the energetic, bustling feeling of campus on an October day. You have to admit, there's just something nostalgic about the autumn season.  Where do your fall memories "take you back" to?

Photographing Lauren and Nick on The Grounds at the University of Virginia will be one more fun fall memory to conjure up. They are college sweethearts and it didn't take much time walking through the gardens to hear their favorite stories about the time they spent as collegians at UVA.

As a photographer, the idea of memories and nostalgia are what keep me in business. Knowing that I can capture a special time in a special place and add an image to a heart-kept memory is the reason I love my job so much.

Lauren and Nick - thank you so much for letting me add illustration to your college sweetheart love story! It was a true pleasure and I wish you nothing but the best as you make many, many memories together in the future!

These last two images are film scans. It's been about 15 years since I've shot film and I am so excited to return to what drew me to photography so long ago! Total nostalgia! Be on the look out for more film shots as I incorporate shooting film into upcoming sessions.
