Chatham Manor Engagement Photos | Fredericksburg, Virginia | Bekah and Jason (and Lachlan, Felix, and Lucy)

Engagement photos at Chatham Manor in Fredericksburg, Virginia

Bekah and Jason brought their whole family to Chatham Manor for their engagement pictures! Lachlan, Felix the dog, and Lucy the cat all had a blast exploring the manor’s gorgeous grounds. We had a beautiful evening weather-wise, and actually managed to get this photo session in a few days before their wedding! I know that last week before your wedding day can be super stressful, but Jason and Bekah didn’t seem to be fazed at all. They were just excited to enjoy a relaxing night with their family in Chatham’s gardens!

So this was officially my first engagement session with a cat. Lucy was WAY more cooperative than I would have expected a cat on a leash to be, but that’s probably because she’s been on outdoor adventures before. She had a couple moments of more typical cat behavior, and I’m glad I caught this fun one haha.

Chatham Manor’s garden is just so beautiful! It’s definitely one of my favorite spots in Fredericksburg.
