After throwing out a couple location ideas for this engagement session, Shannon and Ryan were most excited about visiting a winery. Tarara in Leesburg has a perfect blend of open spaces, patio, vines, and leafy, shade covered nature. And the surrounding countryside has many old houses and barns and rustic fences running along rolling hills.
We started with the wine, which, I decided, is going to be requisite for all future engagement sessions. Although it certainly wasn't necessary with Ryan and Shannon, who have a ton of fun together anyway. It was still a great way to start a Friday evening. Shooting at sunset, we had interesting light to work with and some of my favorites came with the low sun shining straight on them and reflecting off the nearby lake.
Shannon and Ryan have known each other for many years, dated long distance through college, and have grown together over that time. They are incredibly comfortable around one another and not afraid to be themselves, even when someone is pointing a camera at them. I'm excited for their wedding in the fall and for the marriage of two really awesome people.
