A Love Story Narrative | Manassas, VA

Well, this was my first crack at shooting an engagement video, and overall I think it turned out pretty good.  Visually it comes across quite stunning, but the audio definitely will be improved upon next time with a better external mic…  and hopefully a day without tons of wind!  Otherwise, let me know what you…

Thanks Kristen! Haha yeah, I liked those shots a lot too.

Brittany+Max | Reston, VA

Brittany and Max are a cute and quaint couple from Culpeper, Virginia who have just recently moved to the Northern Virginia area for shorter commutes to and from work.  Since their upcoming September wedding will be back down in Culpeper on a farm, they wanted to make sure their engagement photos had a contrasting look….
