Belle Isle Golden Hour

There is something magical about the James River and Belle Isle at golden hour. David and Delani are getting married next April and the countdown is already on! They are troopers and were down for anything and everything and because of this- they got amazing photos! We had planned this location a while ago and both realized the morning of that one of Richmond’s biggest festivals would be happening at this exact location. We decided we would risk the crowds and I’m so glad we did!!! I was able to find pockets of light and locations without hundreds of people and with a little bit of editing magic everything came together beautifully!

Hiking for the Photos

We all definitely got our steps in for this shoot!! I’m so glad David and Delani were up for walking all over Richmond. We parked near Legend Brewery and ended up all the way to Belle Isle and back. I loved our time together and enjoyed hearing more about their wedding plans at The Barn at Mattaponi Springs. Delani and David are also both JMU graduates so it was fun reminiscing about our time there as well.

Family Fun

Fun fact that I learned during our time together- David is a twin and their parents haven’t told them who is older. This will happen at the wedding, I actually can’t wait to hear myself and think it’s great David and his brother grew up without that competition between them. Delani is the youngest of three siblings and I happen to know her older brother and sister which is so fun for me. I did a family shoot for Delani’s sister recently and got to know her nieces. I can’t wait to see them again at the wedding. Thanks again you two and enjoy your photos!

Thanks again you two for such a great night!  To see another engagement session, check out Lindsay & Ballard!
