For Lexie and Jack, it was a walk down memory lane during their engagement session at the University of Richmond. They wanted to go back to the place where it all started. Where their love first began. 

Rolling Into Love

The story of Lexie and Jack began at the University of Richmond. They were both students there and met at a Halloween party where Jack was a hockey player wearing roller blades. The rollerblades certainly didn’t help his dance moves but were a great ice breaker, nonetheless! They began dating shortly after, but not long after dating Lexie studied a semester abroad in Spain. One of Lexie’s fondest memories of Jack is when he came to visit her in San Sebastian, Spain. Not only did they have a ton of fun exploring Europe, but it was a big milestone in their relationship. The trip showed their dedication to making it work despite being on opposite sides of the world. 

A Scenic Proposal 

Since that trip together, traveling and exploring new places has become one of their favorite activities and a way for them to re-connect. After 5 years of dating, Jack and Lexie took their relationship to the next level. It was another traveling adventure when Jack decided to pop the question. Jack proposed while they were hiking Old Rag in Virginia. Not suspiciously at all, Jake woke Lexie up at 5:00 am to leave for their morning hike. Briskly he led her to the top of the mountain and proposed at the first scenic look out spots on the trail.

Fall(ing) In Love 

Lexie and Jack’s fall engagement session at the University of Richmond also led us to Monument Avenue. They wanted to also reminisce about their first apartment they shared together on the picturesque street. Both locations were absolutely breathtaking with the changing fall leaves and crisp autumn air. Looking forward to when Lexie and Jack tie the knot next fall at Tuckahoe Plantation. Until then, enjoy some of my favorite images from the most snuggly and cozy engagement session to date!

HI SUNSHINE!

I'M NICKI

I see the beauty in imperfect things. As a Christ-follower, faith is central to my life, work, and connections. I am fueled by joy, known for my bubbly and sunny disposition, and always with a warm hug. Imperfect beauty inspires my love for all things vintage, abstract art, and real love stories. I love moments full of grit and emotion; life off the beaten path; stunning views along the shore; and the juxtaposition of New York grunge and laid back Cali-vibe. 

As a mother of two, I am very familiar with how quickly life’s most important moments fly by too quickly. I will calmly and seamlessly guide you through frames that will endure. I strive to capture your memories with one-of-a-kind images full of meaning. I cannot wait to connect with you! 

I bring all of these elements to my time with my couples. With over a decade of experience in the industry, I know how to gently guide you through poses that are natural and beautiful. The transition into this sentence doesn’t make sense. Throughout your day, you will feel the love from those there to celebrate
 you two. 
When I’m not photographing weddings, I enjoy long walks in the neighborhood with my husband, my kiddos Tuxie and Sunny, and my labradoodle Hokie.. Also, I am a huge dog-lover! I’m pretty sure heaven is full of dogs. I can’t wait to connect with you, and yes, your pup is always welcome here!
