Virginia Beach Engagement Photographer | Lacey & Mark

Ross and Jess had such a wonderful time photographing Lacey and Mark’s beautiful engagement session at First Landing State Park in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

Lacey and Mark are one of the nicest couples you could possibly meet. Their sweet demeanors and endearing southern accents set you right at ease and make you feel like you’ve been friends for years. It is obvious by spending any amount of time with them that their love and affection for one another run deep. The look in their eyes, the way they speak to each other, and how they hold each other – all so natural, like they are the only ones in the world in that moment.

They may have been a bit nervous to step in front of the camera at first, but their adorable dog, Doc, quickly broke any tension and stole the show! We absolutely adore the furry friends who join in our portrait sessions and Doc was no different. After a few family photos with the three of them, we ventured through the wooded trails of the park capturing both tender moments and elegant portraits of Lacey and Mark.

As daylight was approaching its end, we all moved over to the beach where we were fortunate enough to have a brilliant sunset with vibrant colors filling the sky. Lacey had changed into a striking blue dress, which was the perfect choice to complement the gorgeous scenery. It was a bit chilly that day, but you would never know by looking at them. They handled it like pros and their portraits tell the story!

We are SO looking forward to Lacey and Mark’s September wedding in Emporia with the lovely Sandy Baxter of Baxter’s Creative Events. It is going to be a spectacular day celebrating their amazing love with friends and family and we feel so honored to play a part!
