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!

A romantic Skyline Drive anniversary session by Natalie Jayne Photography filled with laughter and tears! The session started with a picnic and ended with joyful tears as they read love notes aloud that they wrote for one another. Petie kept saying “I don’t know what’s wrong with us… we didn’t even cry on our wedding day!”

I had a family session this morning… that turned into a proposal! Hannah messaged me on Instagram, asking if I could photograph her family. What she didn’t know was that I usually don’t photograph families and that her family session was a proposal!

Her mom reached out to me and let me know what the session was going to be and to say I was excited is an understatement!

I’m so excited that Nikki is officially featured on Southern Motherhood Magazine! View the feature here: FINE ART BRANDING SESSION Mommy and Me

Welcome!! I’m so excited to be a part of the featured photographers here on Basic Invites!! I’m Natalie Jayne, an almost-always-barefoot fine art Virginia wedding photographer based in Richmond, Virginia and I’m so glad you’re here. I am a bicoastal photographer; which means I travel between California and Virginia throughout the year.
