Truly Timeless Virginia Tech Engagement Photos

Virginia Tech Engagement, Blacksburg

Outside of their wedding date, the second thing Ben & Paula were most sure about was that they wanted a Virginia Tech engagement session. These lovebirds are college sweethearts and both are attending Virginia Tech in Blacksburg for their post-graduate degrees.

Ben proposed to Paula the first time he saw her. He was a man in uniform and she was a worldly waitress waiting tables to travel the world. She was charmed by his silly proposal and they went out on a couple of dates. Those dates turned into a world wide romance that spanned countries and continents as she taught in Korea and he served in the military.

When the time was right, he truly proposed and here we are! We spent the day exploring the wonderful campus for their Virginia Tech engagement session and detoured off to the Duck Pond for a lovely golden hour sunset. I’m truly happy for these two lovebirds and I cannot wait to see them get married this fall!

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
