FEATURED | Le Magnifique

Blogs mean a lot to Kim; I knew that from the very first phone conversation I had with her when she said, "By the way, I already know what my blog post title will be for your blog!" I know she has Google Reader with all of her favorites, and well, she's just a voracious reader. Girl after my own heart. ;)

So when we got the engagement session all finished, I set out to look for the perfect blog fit for her engagement session because of that intense blog love of hers. I had been a fan of Le Magnifique since its inception last year, and so when the editor emailed back saying she'd love to feature Kim and Ly... well, I was super excited!

Versailles engagement + Versailles-inspired engagement session + French-titled wedding blog = sheer perfection!

I think all engagements should be remembered in a way that makes your heart soar. It only happens once... and so everything about an engagement should tug at your heartstrings and take you back to a time you just were happy to be with your soulmate. :)

And heck, I won't lie. It's pretty cool to have your photography paired up with those memories. :)

So head on over to check out the FEATURE!

Kim + Ly : The Couple Who Loves to Eat | Virginia Beach Engagement Photography

When she contacted me the first time, Kim said she already had her blog post title picked out. So I claim no credit for the title above... it was all Kim. ;)

They wanted something completely personable, completely them, completely different. So two wonderful friends of mine Tyler and Martin of The Girl Tyler and I joined our powers at be to help create a video Save the Date inspired by an Oscar Wilde quote and photo stylized engagement Versailles-meets-Oscar Wilde picnic that met their vision!

I have to say Kim and Ly rocked it. And totally made it them. You can have all the props and scenes in the world, but if it's not you, it doesn't come out genuine... and this whole production became them. :)

You will meet two people who love to eat, love to laugh, and love to be with each other. They've been dating since they were KIDS (10 years!)! Yeah, they've got history to prove their soulmate-ness. Their smiles are infectious and their generosity and love for others is heartfelt. You can't help but fall in love with them. Who else would take out the entire team to Red Robin after a long day for some food and company!? :)

So without further ado.... here is the ultimate "Nguyen-Nguyen" situation. ;) (Note: Dang, that isn't as funny if it's not spoken outloud... so if you were to verbalize, it's "win-win"... hmm... somehow explaining a joke just loses a bit of its edge. Dang it!! Carry on. Just carry on, my friends.)













Want to see the epic video portion of this shoot? You won't be disappointed.
