The Details

Vicki and Carlo's surprise proposal at Oatlands Historic Gardens in Leesburg, VA was a truly magical moment. The picturesque setting, bathed in the warmth of the sun's rays, created a backdrop full of color and life for the couple's portraits. As the photographer capturing this special occasion, it was an honor to witness the raw emotions and love that they shared in that moment. The joy and excitement in the air was beautiful, and I felt privileged to be able to freeze this slice of their history in time. The day was also filled with a sense of calm and serenity, amplifying the beauty of the moment. Being able to document such an important chapter in Vicki and Carlo's lives was a privilege, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment in knowing that I was able to play a part in preserving their love story.
