Melissa and Justin’s Riverside Richmond Engagement Session

If there’s one place most people never expect to find love, it’s at the train station during rush hour. But after Melissa and Justin missed their chance to meet at James Madison University where they both attended college, the Ballston metro station in Arlington, Virginia, served as the meeting point for these two.

Back in Virginia, The Girl Tyler captured the glowing soonlyweds in the charming city of Richmond along the riverfront and in the colorful city streets for this sweet engagement session.
