I love Richard & Claire's story. It's one of those that starts... pauses... and starts again. And that again part? It lasts forever.

They originally met back in 2005 when they were both working on their undergraduate degrees at the University of Richmond. After a short time they parted ways and reconnected again in 2011. Let me just say... there's no doubt their reconnection was meant to be! Richard & Claire are two peas in a pod! They love investing in doing life together... taking care of their home, loving on their sweet pup, Beau, and hanging out with friends when they can. (They are both working on graduate degrees right now... AND planning a wedding. Amazing!) Oh... and they have a little something-something for Gelati Celesti... a little ice cream joint in Richmond with the creamiest, most delicious homemade ice cream in the world. They go there together pretty often. So often, in fact, they may or may not be having a Gelati Celesti truck at their wedding!

So... what better place to start their session?! (Isn't the wall-mural AMAZING?! A huge thanks to Kim, the owner of Gelati Celesti, for her beautiful chalk art.)

A quick hop over to their neighborhood brought us to a couple of other fun places... a restaurant they LOVE, and a park they hang out in often. Their sweet pup, Beau, joined us and he gave us LOTS of laughs!
