Christina Chapman | Maryland Wedding Photographer Heather and Justin’s Maryland Engagement Session was everything!! The Jefferson Patterson Park & Museum was an unforgettable location! Seriously if you have a chance, you should go and spend the day strolling the countless areas and taking a walk on their pebbled shores! As if the location wasn’t already amazing, we were so blessed to have the most stunning sunset I have ever seen! I really couldn’t imagine a sweeter couple to share our first Maryland session with! Heather and Justin are high school sweethearts that we met through a CC Bride alumni! It is such an honor when our CC Couples sing our…

If you had told me 6 years ago that I would leave the corporate world of finance and chase my passion I would have laughed in your face! Furthermore, if you had told me that my passion would be shared with the man I love, that we love and serve our amazing clients together, through this gift of photography I would have been speechless. It seemed impossible. More than that it wasn’t even on my radar! How thankful I am for the unexpected and life-altering moments that have brought me here. North Carolina Mountain Engagement Session. When John and I met with Natalie and Parker so many months ago they…

Hey there! We are wedding photographers based in Fredericksburg VA! That is still such a weird thing to hear myself say! While I am in love with our new home and excited to dive into this new big town I was thrilled that John and I would have the chance to head back to our little town and our favorite Sanford venue so soon after our move. The House in the Horseshoe is such a special place to us and many of our sweet couples just like Rhiannon and Kevin! Kevin is a serious game lover and over their relationship, he has made one out of Rhiannon too! So of…

As soon as Bre told me they wanted to include one of their favorite places in their downtown engagement session I knew we were in for a treat! We started the evening at Sanford’s beloved Yarboroughs Ice Cream shop! Let me tell you, it was fun for sure but I think it was a little painful for all four of us to be there and not indulge in all that frozen goodness! Sounds like a good reason for an ice cream date very soon! When we met with Bre and Harrison over coffee they shared their love story with us and I was totally swooning when they showed us the…

One of my favorite parts of our wedding experience is the engagement session! It is such a fun and relaxed way for our sweet clients to get to know us and get used to my big cheery personality! Confession, I can be a lot! Especially when our Bride and Groom show up looking adorable and we are gifted with the most perfect golden sunset ever! That is exactly what we had for Jenna and Kyles engagement session! These cuties drove all the way into Sanford to have their session at our beloved House in the Horseshoe. With these warm and sunny days, the property surrounding the house is in a…

I LOVE exploring new places! Especially when they are as gorgeous as this park! It’s hard to believe that there are still so many hidden gems like Historic Oak View Park that we haven’t been to! This stunning venue has very quickly stolen my heart and is now a new favorite! Y’all know how much I love white porches and wow!  It was totally worth getting up before dawn to beat the rain for Emily and Nicks sunrise engagement session! Last week’s weather was crazy! We weren’t even sure we were going to be able to make this beautiful session happen with all the tornadoes and the flooding! The whole…

Hi Friends, if you have not noticed from our recent blog post, it is engagement session season over here at CCP! And we are loving it! Engagement sessions are such an important part of our experience! This is a time when our sweet couples get to know us as photographers and learn what it means when we say things like giggle, tilt and nuzzle so on the wedding day they are total pros! Plus it’s a ton of fun! Fun is exactly what we had during Halie and Michael’s engagement session! Despite the almost too chilly evening, there were lots of laughs and a golden sun that seemed to last…

I love Spring! It seems like the happiest time of the year to me! After a long and wet winter here in the South, there is something soul renewing to feel the warmth of the Sun and see the trees coming back to life! Spring is also our busiest season for engagement sessions, and that fact alone seals the deal on it being a happy time of year! It is such a privilege to share in the joy and excitement of our couples while capturing this special time when they are each other’s Fiancé! This past week we met our sweet couple Emily and Chris at one of our favorite…

Oh you guys, Lindsay and Joeys JC Raulston Arboretum engagement session was to die for! As soon as we entered the gardens, I knew this was going to be nothing short of amazing! Spring was everywhere! Pink and white blooms filled the trees, and I’m pretty sure when I eeeked with joy and happiness I scared the people near us, but hey it’s been a long cold winter, and this girl needed to see some pretty! And boy did I get it! As if the venue wasn’t good enough; queue Lindsay and Joey looking like a million bucks! Flowy pink dress. Yes, please!  When we think about joyful couples these…
