The Couple & Location

This downtown Roanoke city couples session was everything I needed to kick off my 2023 photography season and it did not disappoint

I met Jacqueline while working briefly at Starbucks in early 2022. We talked for MONTHS about doing a session together, and it was a dream come true when it finally happened! 

I had been DYING to shoot in downtown Roanoke, but more specifically at the rooftop location you see in this session. I discovered this gem in September last year and couldn’t wait to bring a couple up here. Like c’mon, that spiral staircase is a literal dream.

Outfit Ideas for your Downtown Roanoke Couples Session

I absolutely loved the black and white combo Jacqueline and Ben wore to their session, it really helped fit the classy, chic, fun vibes of the session. Jacqueline even told me that this was the exact suit Ben wore at their wedding a few years ago!! They had the perfect outfits for running around with me on a chilly January day.
