Today on the blog is Jess and Rob’s Anniversary in Skyline Drive! These two are high school sweethearts and had their first date at homecoming. They were just 16 years old when they started dating. How adorable is that?! They made this session so fun and the photos turned out so romantic. I am so excited to be sharing these today!

Today on the blog is a beautiful and romantic fall engagement session at the VMFA! This Richmond Engagement Session Picnic was perfection. Jacqueline and I actually met through a mutual friend at a Starbucks, and we ended up talking about photography, for what felt like hours. I was so extremely honored when she reached out to me to photograph her wedding. I am still so in awe that she would choose me as her wedding photographer, and I can’t wait to photograph the wedding in January! Congratulations Jacqueline and Jordan!

Kris and Meena’s engagement session in downtown Baltimore was full of the beautiful Baltimore streets downtown, waterfront views near Fells Point, and sunset on Federal Hill! We actually had their session on their original wedding date, which made it even more special. I loved getting to explore Baltimore for the first time and capture these two!

Casey’s beautiful florals made my summer dreams come to life. I am so thrilled to be sharing a few images from this absolutely stunning styled bridal session. The star was the colorful florals that Cultive Event Co. created for this bridal session. I had so much fun creating something new and fun at Dover Hall, and I can’t wait to go back in the future!

Skyline Drive anniversary session in the mountains by Virginia Wedding Photographer Natalie Jayne Photography

This anniversary session more of an engagement session part two. Jackson and Sam had their engagement session just a few miles down the road last summer, and this was the perfect way to celebrate their soon-to-be marriage. Because of Covid, they weren’t able to get married this year, but Sam went out of his way to surprise Jackson with a necklace to wear on their wedding day!

If you work from home on a laptop, then you need to invest in these six-item! From Laptop stand to mouse, you should invest in these! This is a must-have because I use a laptop stand now and essentially have turned my computer into a monitor. Having bad posture is something I’ve always struggled with at my desk so this is a game-changer! I love having this as part of my setup, so my neck doesn’t hurt.
