Kara & Alex’s Engagement Session at First Landing State Park | Virginia Beach Wedding Photographer

This past weekend, I had the absolute joy of capturing Kara and Alex’s engagement session at First Landing State Park in Virginia Beach. Their wedding is set for April 2026, but they wanted to celebrate their love a little early with photos that truly highlight the natural beauty that Virginia Beach has to offer.

It’s rare to come across a couple who completely melt into one another during a session, but that’s exactly what happened with Kara and Alex. The way they look at each other—sometimes even when the other doesn’t realize—is so genuine and heartwarming. Their love shines effortlessly, making every photo a reflection of the connection they share.

I loved how simple and natural they wanted their engagement session to be. From start to finish, it was one of the most authentic and easygoing sessions I’ve had the pleasure of capturing. Every moment felt relaxed, joyful, and true to who they are as a couple.

I cannot wait for their wedding day in 2026! I already know we’ll have so much fun documenting their love story as they tie the knot and begin their next chapter together.
