There’s something truly magical about a sunset, especially when it’s shared with the one you love. Daniel and Briana’s engagement session at Peaks of Otter, nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, was nothing short of breathtaking. Their Virginia sunset engagement session was filled with love, laughter, and nature’s beauty—creating unforgettable memories for the soon-to-be-married couple. I’m thrilled to continue documenting their love story when they tie the knot in May of 2025!

The golden sunlight bathes the scene, casting a warm glow over the couple and the surrounding meadow, with trees in the background softly illuminated by the fading light. The image exudes love, warmth, and serenity.
