A Romantic Engagement Session by the Sea in Virginia Beach, VA

~ Brittany & Josh | Engaged ~

First Landing State Park | Virginia Beach, Virginia | March 29, 2025

I had so much fun on the beach with Brittany & Josh! We had perfect weather and slightly warm waves to splash around in at First Landing State Park. They have such a cute love story which includes First Landing! I am so excited for their wedding down in Sandbridge in September! They had such cute chemistry all session long, they are so perfect for each other. Brittany wrote a beautiful synopsis of their love story and I am so excited to share it with y’all!

“Brittany and Josh had always known of each other—but never imagined they’d one day fall in love. For years, they shared summer days at the beach, surrounded by mutual friends, never realizing they were standing beside their future soulmate. They laughed, talked, and made memories in the same circles, completely unaware that destiny was quietly at work. It was Brittany who took the first leap. During a girls’ trip, the conversation turned to crushes. Without hesitation, she said, “Josh.” Her friends, confused, asked, “Who’s that?” She smiled and replied, “The guy who sat next to me with the best bongo skills I’ve ever seen.” With some playful peer pressure and a little courage, she slid into his DMs on Instagram—and that single message sparked something neither of them expected. From that moment, they were inseparable. Their messages flowed endlessly, day and night, and it didn’t take long for their friends to catch on. Everyone could see it—these two were meant for each other.Their first real connection happened at a party. As if the universe had pressed pause on everything else, they found themselves deep in conversation all night. When they finally kissed, the room erupted—cheering and celebrating a love that everyone knew had just begun. From that night on, Brittany and Josh were all in. Brittany made frequent weekend trips from Richmond, and when she couldn’t, Josh made the drive instead. Every mile brought them closer, every visit deepened the bond.

In April 2023, they moved into their first apartment together—right off Shore Drive, where the beach became part of their everyday love story. The ocean breeze, the golden sunsets, the sound of the waves—it was the perfect backdrop for a couple building a life together. Now, they’re looking ahead—with dreams of a family, a lifetime of love, and growing old hand in hand. What started with a crush and a message turned into something timeless. Brittany and Josh aren’t just partners—they’re best friends, soulmates, and proof that sometimes, the greatest love stories are the ones waiting right beside us all along.”
