East Beach Engagement Photos | Virginia Beach Wedding Photographer

Meet Evan and Emily – the sweetest couple who brought so much joy to their East Beach engagement photos session! This shoot was extra special because they literally hopped off a plane, came straight to East Beach, and jumped right into their session. Talk about dedication!

Evan, who happens to be a pilot (how cool is that?!), and Emily, who just landed an exciting new job, are both from Tampa, Florida. Even after a long travel day, they were total naturals in front of the camera. Their laughter, connection, and easygoing personalities made my job as a Virginia Beach wedding photographer so easy.

They’re planning their wedding for next October at the beautiful Culpepper Barn in Virginia Beach—one of our absolute favorite local wedding venues. With their love for adventure and the sweetest chemistry, I know their wedding day is going to be unforgettable.

Why We Love East Beach for Engagement Sessions

East Beach is one of those hidden gems in Virginia Beach—wide open sand, stunning sunsets, and a quiet, peaceful vibe that makes it perfect for capturing real, authentic moments. Whether you’re playful, romantic, or adventurous (like Evan and Emily!), this location gives so much variety and magic.

FAQs: Why Engagement Sessions Matter with Your Wedding Photographer

1. Why should we do an engagement session?
An engagement session helps you and your photographer build a natural rhythm before the big day. You’ll feel more relaxed, confident, and comfortable in front of the camera.

2. How does it benefit our wedding photos?
When you already know how your photographer works, you’ll spend less time feeling “posed” and more time enjoying your wedding day. The result? More natural, joy-filled images.

3. Is it worth it even if we’re not local?
Absolutely! Just like Evan and Emily flew in from Tampa, engagement photos are a once-in-a-lifetime chance to document this season of your relationship. Plus, they make for beautiful save-the-dates, wedding décor, or even a guestbook.

4. Can we choose a meaningful location?
Yes! I always encourage couples to pick a location that feels special—whether that’s East Beach, a favorite coffee shop, or even where you first met.

Thank You!

Evan and Emily’s East Beach engagement photos reminded me why I love being a Virginia Beach wedding photographer. Their joy, energy, and love for one another lit up the entire session, and I can’t wait to celebrate with them at Culpepper Barn next October.

Thank you, Evan and Emily, for trusting me to capture such a beautiful part of your journey. You two are a treasure, and I know your wedding day will be just as magical as your love story.
