Shakia and Ricky went to rival colleges, she went to Hampton and he was at Norfolk State, so they most certainly were’t rooting for the same team.  However, they did have one thing in common: Music!  Shakia plays the clarinet and Ricky plays the drums and this is what brought them together.  Their engagement session was at Ricky’s sisters house in Goochland and the backyard provided the most perfect backdrop!

Shakia had the most beautiful two dresses (and so colorful, my favorite!) and was looking fierce! Ricky wasn’t so bad either, he was looking sharp!

Seriously, Shakia your laugh was infectious!! Once you started, Ricky couldn’t stop and it made for the most adorable photos.  There is nothing I love better than capturing genuine moments that happen on their own!

With some help from his sister, they came up with a hashtag for the wedding #2016MasonLane.  Mason is Shakia’s last time, but will be Mrs. Lane in the future 😉 How perfect!
