I am a wedding and portrait photographer in Hampton Roads Virginia.

A Paddle Boarding Engagement session at First Landing State Park with Marley and Dave!

When we started our Engagement session at First Landing State Park, I was just a little worried.  Marley got out of the truck and told me that neither of them liked to have their photo taken…that it made them uncomfortable.  I totally understand this, because I HATE to have my photo taken.  I always turn out looking like Sloth from the Goonies.  But she and Dave were very adamant that they weren’t good at it.  Luckily, with-in the first few minutes I quickly saw how easily they smiled and interacted with one another and I knew they were going to be just fine!!  And by the end, when we got the Paddle Boards into the VERY WINDY water…they were pros!!  I love that they brought their Paddle Boards to the session because it is something they love to do.  I wish the weather had been more cooperative…it was so windy at one point I thought Marley might get blown away while trying to carry her board.  But we still had a lot of fun and I am so excited to shoot their wedding in October!  Thanks again for the great evening you two!!

Please note that my little worker bee has a hitchh Please note that my little worker bee has a hitchhiker on her neck. I learned this is called a phoretic mite. They catch a ride on the back of the bees to other flowers or to the hive to clean up bee waste. #themoreyouknow🌈⭐️ #leighskaggsphotography #f@ckingnature
