I shot Heather and Jacob’s engagement session in the quaint little
town of Irvington, VA. It was
a refreshing place to go for “city-folks” like Heather, Jacob, and
myself. Its town website sums
up the pace of life in Irvington in its intro paragraph: “Oh, slow
down. you’ve got plenty of time. Because tomorrow is another day. In
Irvington.”
So we trekked around all 1.8 square miles of the town, stopping at a cute dock on Carter’s Creek, Historic Christ Church, and The Dog and Oyster– a beautiful vineyard of the town’s famous Bed & Breakfast, The Hope and Glory Inn.
Heather and Jacob were the perfect couple to have this photo adventure
with. They were extremely easy-going and didn’t balk when I suggested
they crawl underneath the grape vines at twilight. They brought their
adorable pup, Sadie, who definitely enjoyed her trip to the country and
made a cameo appearance in many of the photos.
Afterwards we enjoyed a bottle of wine and delicious, fresh shrimp
and crab cakes at the Merrior Restaurant in Kilmarnock—just across the
bay. It was the perfect way to get to know this fun-loving couple.
After spending half a day together chasing light (and dogs) and wining
and dining, I am so excited to spend a whole wedding day with them when
they tie the knot on September 22.
