Emma and Chase came into Lexington for Easter weekend, and we met up at Big Spring Farm for their engagement session. The daffodils were blooming, the sunlight was perfect, and of course Big Spring Farm was perfectly manicured. It was the perfect evening!
Spring at Big Spring Farm
This couple chose a spring engagement session at Big Spring Farm because their wedding will be held here next spring. The engagement photos will make perfect, on-theme save the dates! Plus, they got a taste of what their wedding day view will be like. The venue is beautiful in all seasons, but especially shines in the springtime.
A sunset engagement session
Like most engagement sessions, we timed the session so we would have some golden sunset light for the end. They chose to do a formal look first with a cute spring sundress, followed by a casual date night outfit with jeans. We caught the sunset at the top of the hill, overlooking the barn, willows, and lake at Big Spring Farm. It was the perfect end to the perfect day.
Picking your engagement session location
Many wedding venues allow you to schedule engagement sessions on property when they don’t have events or tours. You may have to plan for a weekday evening to avoid disrupting business. If your venue isn’t your ideal location, there are dozens of wonderful engagement session locations throughout Virginia. Whether you like historic places, blooms, mountain ranges, or cityscapes, there’s so much variety in VA to choose from. My clients get access to a location guide and personalized advice when planning their engagement sessions.
