Andrew + Ashley’s Engagement Session in Ghent Norfolk

There’s something so special about this Norfolk Engagement Session Ghent Virginia.  We love photographing love in every season—even the coldest ones. Our associate photographer, Kelly, had the opportunity to photograph Andrew + Ashley this past Wednesday in Ghent Norfolk, and despite the freezing temperatures, their session turned out absolutely beautiful. With a little creativity, thoughtful positioning, and a whole lot of joy from this sweet couple, she captured moments that feel soft, romantic, and almost like early spring.

A Winter Session That Feels Like Spring

Ghent Norfolk is one of those locations that always delivers timeless charm—brick pathways, historic homes, and quiet corners that feel intimate and full of character. Even with the cold air, Andrew + Ashley leaned into the moment so naturally. You would never guess how chilly it truly was.

Kelly did such a beautiful job guiding them through the session, finding pockets of light, and choosing backdrops that brought warmth into every image. The way Andrew looks at Ashley, the laughter they shared, and the genuine connection between them made this session feel effortless and full of life.

Looking Ahead to a Summer Wedding

Andrew + Ashley will be tying the knot this July at the beautiful Princess Anne Golf Club, and after spending even a short time capturing their love, we already know their wedding day is going to be something truly special.

There is such a sweetness and steadiness about them—something that goes beyond just photos. It’s the kind of connection that you feel, not just see. We cannot wait to see it unfold even more on their wedding day surrounded by family, friends, and celebration.

A Note to Andrew + Ashley

Andrew + Ashley, thank you so much for trusting us to capture this season of your lives. It truly means the world to us. You both carried so much joy and warmth into a very cold day, and it made for such a beautiful session.
