R & M's Engagement Photoshoot | Branch Museum of Architecture and Design, Richmond VA

R & M met me at The Branch Museum of Architecture and Design for their engagement photoshoot, and let me tell you—it was a session full of love, laughter, and the best kind of vintage flair.

With their wedding coming up this fall, they wanted to capture some special moments to use for their Save the Dates, and what better place than this stunning, historic venue?

I always love working at The Branch Museum, especially when the weather makes outdoor sessions a little less inviting. The museum’s elegant interiors, intricate architectural details, and warm natural light create the perfect setting for timeless engagement portraits. Plus, with its grand hallways, cozy nooks, and dreamy windows, there’s always an opportunity to capture something special.

R & M were an absolute hoot to work with! Their energy was infectious, and I couldn’t stop gushing over R’s vintage-style dress and the coolest, most unique engagement ring. But what I loved most was how much fun they had together. I always encourage movement in my sessions because it helps couples relax, laugh, and truly be themselves. Even the quietest of pairs can’t help but smile when they’re twirling, running hand in hand, or simply leaning into each other for a cozy moment.

Their love was effortless, their joy was contagious, and their session was everything an engagement shoot should be—full of fun, connection, and anticipation for the big day ahead. I can’t wait to celebrate with them this fall!
