Engagements

Bristol Virginia Engagement Session | Bruce & Audrey

We loved photographing this cute couple! Audrey and Bruce are best friends and enjoy every second they get to spend together. We love they way they hold hands as they walk, and say the simplest things that make each other laugh. They are a fun and easy going couple, who love everything about being together. Whether it’s hanging out at the house, or grabbing a cup of coffee or watching a play at The Barter, every moment spent together is time well spent. Bruce proposed this summer while they were at the beach with family celebrating Audrey’s birthday and it was the perfect present! We love when proposals are a surprise and filled with family, friends and celebration, and Bruce definitely planned this one well!

These lovebirds headed back to her grandfather’s farm in Bristol for their engagement photos, which turned out to be the most perfect location! Audrey picked a stunning (and flowy!) dress and Bruce carved an adorable pumpkin for the occasion. We already love these two, and we are so excited for their wedding next October! Danielle-Defayette-Photography-Bristol-Outdoor-Engagement_0022.jpg

hi, i'm danielle—

In the past 10+ years as a Wedding & Portrait Photographer, I’ve found that, aside from arming myself with my cameras to catch swoon-worthy moments of my couples on their day, I’m also bringing a few other unexpected things. 

Like my tough love mom-voice that will keep your bridal party in check, my air of calm if you’re feeling overwhelmed, and the corniest jokes so no one has the jitters in front of the camera!

Because so much more goes into getting those gorgeous wedding photos than just hitting “click!”

and I'm not just bringing my camera to your big day.

Wanna know what you need for                        
detail photos?

unforgettable

In the hundreds of weddings I’ve photographed, I’ve created as many different flat lays as you can imagine. And so I’ve curated a complete list of must-have items for you to gather so your detail photos are even more special. For the free list, enter your email below:
