Guess what time it is?! Time to introduce you to a new pair of REHP Love Birds with their Bon Air Rose Garden engagement photos!
I feel an extra connection to Anna and Dacian because Dacian is from where I grew up! I grew up in Calvert County, Maryland, and so did Dacian! He and Anna live there with their daughter, Maya. I’m excited to meet Maya at their wedding in November, since it was just mom and dad for their Bon Air Rose Garden engagement photos.
Anna and Dacian made a full date day the day of their engagement session. They took the opportunity to schedule the tasting at their wedding venue, Potomac Point Winery in Stafford Virginia. (That always sounds like the best wedding chore!) From there they came to meet me at Bon Air Memorial Rose Garden for their sunset engagement session. Sounds like a good date day to me!
Anna and Dacian were looking to capture the tender side of their relationship, and I definitely think we were able to do that in their Bon Air Rose Garden engagement photos! Dacian keeps Anna laughing, so that was fun to capture too. But there were many sweet in-between moments with these two that were so special.
Anna might have had a leg up with her experience modeling for her best friend who is a photographer. I always ask my clients if they have any modeling experience, but what I’m thinking of there is like commercial modeling. I never thought about the type of modeling that applies to working with another portrait photographer. I am here to tell you, that type of modeling definitely comes in handy when it’s time for your own photos. Anna was crushing it in front of the camera! I think that put Dacian at ease too because he so good as well! I am just so excited for what we created during their Bon Air Rose Garden engagement photos session.
Besides being great in front of the camera, these two love birds were just fun to get to know! All of this has gotten me extra excited for their upcoming wedding this November. Until you see them again in a few months, I’ll leave you to enjoy their engagement photos!
