Real Couples // Virginia is for Lovers: Hana + Kaity

Sometimes I dream about the kinds of wedding I’d love to shoot. Those in distant places, like Africa or Asia, with simple details and big landscapes. I often think it would make me a better photographer, to have a portfolio with these weddings. But I’ve come to realize the kinds of weddings I want to shoot are the ones like this. 

We met Hana and Kaity a little over a year ago and quickly became friends. Their wedding day was full of genuine, real love. They asked to have their closest friends and family present for their first look. I wasn’t sure how it would go, but afterwards I looked around and saw that we were all crying. It was my favorite part of the day.

As always, many thanks to Jackson Smith for shooting with me.

Meet Amy Jackson: Hi! I’m a photographer, born in South Africa and living in Charlottesville, Virginia. I studied art in school and have always loved the medium of photography. More specifically, I loved the ability to use it as a ways to tell a story. That’s why I started shooting weddings. Wedding photography is exciting for me, always changing and challenging and I love it.
