Jarod + Bailie Engaged

Where do I even begin?! I have known Bailie for…..woah...20+ years?! When Bailie reached out to ask if we’d travel to North Carolina for her wedding, it was such a no brainer. 100%, of course, YES! Being able to serve someone who is so near and dear to me is so special. 


Let’s talk about Bailie and Jarod’s story for a minute. Think CSI...or crime show drama and they are the lead characters. Jarod is a police officer and Bailie is a forensic analyst. They met while working and the rest is history. These two live in North Carolina with their adorable GoldenDoodle. 


Being that Bailie grew up around Richmond, she decided to do her engagement session here. After going through a ton of location ideas, we finally settled on Maymont. Well...everyone else in Richmond had the same idea on Saturday evening. There was a wedding, a proposal, several proms, graduations, etc. Seriously - you name it, and someone was at Maymont celebrating it, but we didn’t let that dampen our spirits.


Bailie was dressed in the most beautiful dusty blue paired with Jarod’s crisp white button up. Nothing says classy like their outfits! We started at the carriage house and made our way to the Italian gardens. After a quick outfit change, we took a little walk to the waterfall and Japanese gardens. These two love birds were a dream to photograph. From their outfits, to the scenery - everything was beautiful.


I am counting down the days until the September wedding at The Bradford!
