Qiao & Chris - Engaged!

I'm going to jump out of order here for this post because Qiao and Chris are getting married just one month from yesterday! They met up with me in Old Town Alexandria for their engagement session and we had so much fun seeking out new places to shoot. This was a little different for me, because Qiao and Chris are both photographers themselves (they even shoot weddings!), so we spent the first half-hour or so talking shop and laughing about what it feels like to be on the other side of the lens. These two are a LOT of fun and I can't wait for their wedding next month!

You have to view these next two in sequence. Chris kept pretending to nibble on Qiao and got some fantastic laughs out of it!

My tilt-shift lens was thrilled to come out of the bag for a couple of images.

They brought a toy camera with them and were snapping shots with it as we went along. Definitely the first time I've ever had a camera pointed at me during an engagement session!

Chris was up for anything!

And even after the sun disappeared, we still found one more great spot.
