Who said engagement photos are just for engagements?

Looks like enagement photos can be used in a variety of ways! Check out Weldon Cooper Center to see just how one of my engagement photos for Susan and Chris is being used.

Mallory and Paul, Nashville TN Engagement Session

Jessica Rayborn Photography — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 17:41:01 +0000

I was in Nashville over Christmas break and took that opportunity to photography Mallory and Paul’s engagement session. It was freezing. I felt so bad because I was the only one bundled up in my coat, with my neck warmer and gloves. These two lovebirds were fantastic though. They fought the weather to hang out in an old barn and played around with my ideas. I can’t thank them enough for their fearlessness!

I recently got together with Mallory and Paul in Nashville for their engagement session. Actually, I should correct myself… we were really in Beth Page, TN way out in farm country. Here is a quick glimpse of what we were up to in the barn. I’ll post more by the end of the week so make sure to check back! Enjoy.

Lucia and Aaron, Charlottesville VA Engagement Session

My time with Lucia and Aaron was great. We got together early one weekend morning and ventured all around Charlottesville. Charlottesville’s rolling hills are a beautiful backdrop during fall. When we orginally scheduled our session we had planned to take advantage of the stunning foliage around us. Unfortunately, several heavy storms ruined that idea. The back to back storms left most trees bare prematurely. We managed to find one full of crisp yellow leaves to do some “fall” like images. The big yellow tree was lovely, but I have to admit… I think I’m a sucker for the barren ones. You’ll see what I mean below…

Jessica and Pat Engagement Session, Richmond, VA…

I’m back from the beach and have been tackling editing photos this weekend. The result… finally have more images to present from Jessica and Pat’s hot engagement session a couple weeks ago. The three of us met one evening at the Richmond Canal Walk. It was my first time being there since I’ve moved to Virginia and actually, Pat and Jessica’s too! There were tons of interesting places to take a photos. My favorite spot definitely was underneath the bridge where I made Pat and Jessica climb some rocks for a few images. They did well climbing around and getting positioned. It was me that lost my balance a couple times and almost feel in the canal.

Enjoy the images from their session!

I recently got together to photograph Melissa and Jimmi. The University of Virginia is such a beautiful place, especially at the Rotunda. Melissa and Jimmi will actually be saying their vows at the on grounds chapel come September. We had a great time exploring different parts of the Rotunda that I hadn’t photographed before, like the big green bushes I made them climb in (thanks for being such good troopers).

Below are some images from our session. Hope you enjoy and certainly check back for images of their wedding this Septemberr.

Susan and Chris Engagement Session, Charlottesville VA…

Well I told you to keep watching and boy am I glad you did.

I posted a sneak peak image from my session with Susan and Chris last week. Now it’s time to unveil some more! We did a two part engagement session with Chris and Susan. On the first day we walked around UVA’s campus and Charlottesville’s Downtown Mall. While on the second day we played around at Greenleaf Spray Park. It was actually pretty chilly out that day so I was worried that Chris and Susan wouldn’t want to get as wet as planned. I was wrong! The two of them had no fears of getting soaking wet. They were 5 year olds running through that water. It was interesting for me to chase them around while trying to keep my camera as dry as possible.

All in all it was a great session… even if I did almost make us sick to our stomachs on the merry-go-round for that one shot! It was well worth it! Plus we had some awesome soda to calm our stomach’s afterwards (P.S Ryan… Susan and Chris surprised me with a Pepsi vs. Coke challenge for your “Where’s the Coke in this image?”)

Anyway, enough said… here are their images!

Two thumbs up = good time!

Keep watching…
