The
Alisandra Photography Blog

I microwaved Friday’s left over curried chicken. Chad might be upset when he gets home because the house will, yet again, smell like curry. Sitting on the couch under my fleece Redskins blanket, I went back and forth between blogging Marriage Monday or blogging Brian and Marcy. I think because I miss them already, I chose to blog the sweet couple.

Brian and Marcy are not engaged. In fact, their first date was right around the time Chad and I moved to Charlottesville which was almost one year ago. But this couple is one of my favorites. When Chad and I moved away to Richmond, we only had a few things holding us back from actually making that decision. Marcy and Brian were one of them. Marcy is a photographer, and Brian is a graphic designer/audio tech guy for Portico Church. They are intentional with each other, and I love to see the ways in which they encourage each other, build up one another, and stay spiritually connected. At the same time, they are SO able to joke around with each other. They make whatever room they’re in, funner [yes… funner].

I expressed the desire to want to practice posing and Marcy said she and Brian wanted some professional portraits together! So, the obvious was planned. They came over the other night to have dinner and allow me to shoot their portraits. Although, I didn’t have much to practice with because they are SO comfortable in front of the camera. You’ll see what I mean. They just WORKED it. B&M, miss y’all already!

I love it when guys know when things are being taken too seriously…BAHAHAHA. [Brian, don’t hate me. This brings joy to my life…]

Marcy doesn’t have a “good side.” EVERY ANGLE is good.

As I was walking away, Brian decided to pick up Marcy and spin her around. I’m so glad I decided to snap these next two. The second one MIGHT become a canvas…
