Engagement photos are one of the first opportunities a couple has to show off their joint personalities and passions. Every personality and passion has a place in front of the camera, including the silly little weirdos that Erika of Joy Shots Photography loves to capture. Her Richmond engagement photos for Tim and Rhee are the perfect example of what true authenticity in front of the camera looks like.

Quirkiness Made for the Camera
Rhee and Tim describe themselves as quirky nerds and weren’t sure how that quirkiness and nerdiness would appear on camera, especially in an engagement shoot. But they didn’t need to worry, sharing, “Erika immediately made us feel at ease and like our quirkiness was made for the camera. Our session was fun, lighthearted, and laid back. Erika took all of our quirky requests and brought them to life! She was so kind and easy to work with.”
Tips for Authentic Photos
When asked for tips on how other people could prepare for photoshoots like theirs – couples photos for silly little weirdos – they said, “Be your true and authentic selves, no matter what that looks like! Your ideas may be unconventional or “weird”, but they deserve space as much as traditional photos. Do what feels natural and meaningful to you and your partner. You won’t regret it!”
Choosing a Photoshoot Location
Richmond is a city rich in quirky spots for fun photoshoots and it has deep meaning for Rhee and Tim. “We chose Richmond, VA as it’s our home and where our love story truly blossomed. We were torn between a lot of places here, but Erika provided guidance based off of what type of photos we wanted. We ended up with a combination of the cityscape and the river which was our happy medium.”
