    Margaret David Engagement Session

    Margaret and David were one of my first couples to book for 2022! I’m counting down the days to celebrate their wedding day with them at Stone Tower Winery! If you’ve been following along for some time you already know that Stone Tower is my favorite Northern Virginia winery and I’m so so excited to be able to capture what I know is going to be such a beautiful and emotional day for them there next year! They are both incredibly thoughtful and intentional people and not only do they love that about each other, but it shows to anyone that meets them!

    We had the most beautiful fall day out and spent the time sipping on some wine, taking a TON of cute pictures (these two are so much fun together) and I loved getting to know Steph and Joe a little bit better! Stephanie actually found me through one of her friends who works at Stone Tower so it was fun meeting for the first time in person at the very place that brought us together in the first place!
