I loved this sweet engagement session for Lauren and Brett at Loch Raven Reservoir! One of their very first dates was to the duck island here, so it was so fitting to come back and shoot their engagement photos here. We had the perfect fall afternoon for their session – it was a little chilly, but the color in the leaves was so vibrant it made for a beautiful backdrop for their photos. I loved seeing Lauren’s playful side as she chased ducks around, and we ended their session with the two of them slow dancing by the water while the sun went down. So beautiful! I also loved her ring – it was gorgeous and so unique.

Yah! This session is so fun for so many reasons! First off, Caitlin and David are sweet, genuine and just a lot of fun. Super trusting of us on the muggiest session we’ve had all year. That didn’t stop them from kissing, laughing and hiking through McKeldin State Park with us! The first part of the session, their sweet pup Blue, a gorgeous Bernese Mountain Dog joined us for some pics. After that, we headed to the waterfall where we did some twirls and some intimate segments. Then we searched and chased light throughout the woods and fields. We finished their session with Korbel champagne popping as deer watched on. Oh and we can’t forget the giant sushi boat we all shared in Old Ellicott City for dinner! C+D, we are so pumped for what’s to come! We hope you love your photos and you’re excited for what’s to come!

Yah! I’m so excited to share this session! These guys are our last wedding of 2022 and we are so pumped that they are the ones closing out our calendar! When we met up with them for their session, we knew were were going to have a blast. We had an hour to get as much variety as possible since we had so many ideas and places we wanted to take them in Old Ellicott City. Jenna and Scott met through work and were inseparable… very much like their session. They make each other smile and come alive. I LOVED Jenna’s dress… so much that I actually have it in navy! Now I have to go get mine altered cause she made it look so good! We took them from the bottom of the hill, almost to the top and wrapped up right around the new Mason Jar milkshake bar and La Palapas! Too bad it was closed by the time we finished up, so we walked over to La Palapa where we spent a couple hours just hanging out! Jenna and Scott, we are soo excited to be alongside you guys documenting your story, family, people, and love. Thanks for choosing us and trusting us!!

Vanessa and Will had a beautiful session at Brookside Gardens! If you’ve never been, you totally should go, spend some time, take a picnic. Bursting with florals, plants waiting to make their debut, it’s so pretty regardless of when you go. V+W were so natural in front of the camera and together and to eat other they were sweet, affectionate and playful. Thanks so much for trusting me with your session, we can’t wait for your big day! xo

What a cold session but Hannah and Nick did awesome! And so did their dog!

We met Hannah and Nick at Centennial Park about two hours before sunset. We knew where we wanted to take them and knew we were chasing daylight. The park had a lot of construction so our normal route had to be ditched and these two had to trust us as we drove throughout the park. Hannah and Nick, you guys did awesome! We are so excited to get to know you more and can’t wait for your wedding!

While we may still be catching up from the amazing 2021 year we had and the most weddings and engagement sessions we’ve ever shot in one year… we are sooo excited to share all the beauty we’ve encountered and shot over the last 4-6 months. Todays we are sharing Dana and Drew’s session. They wanted fall, a place their dog would love and a place that we loved to photograph. Centennial park is special to me, probably because of all the times I’ve been here both personally and professionally. Dana and Drew rocked their session. We had so much fun cruising all around the park, even after dark. They let us play with lighting and sunset and water. Dana and Drew, we are so excited to be alongside you guys in this season of life. Your day is going to be awesome! Enjoy the process! We are cheering you on!

Yah! A wedding is up on the blog today and it’s a beautiful Main Street Ballroom couple, Abbie + Ryan! We got to work with Lauren Corrigan and a wonderful team of vendors.

The day was perfect. Hot, but that didn’t stop anyone from having fun or popping champagne. It did rain but the timing was perfect and happened after all the portraits were done… but you can tell in the photos… the lighting is bomb!

This proposal is one for history. Scott and Patrick have known each other for so so many years. They played ball together. I had the honor of meeting Scott years ago and was so excited to have him in our wedding. Soon after we would meet Aaron. What a babe and sweetheart. When Scott reached out to Patrick about her photographing the proposal I was so bummed because I would not be able to be there. I had another issue that I had to fulfill them and as a result could not witness this amazing event. Scott and Aaron have been dating for a few years and we couldn’t be more excited for them.

It’s kinda crazy to think and learn where couples find us. Lindsay’s parents live in our neighborhood and one day Patrick was out doing what he does in his free time – some project on the property – and a couple introduced themselves and told him their daughter was getting married and they had seen our logo on our car and the sign in our yard haha. Fast forward, these two set a date and reached out to us and we literally hung out on our patio for our first meeting then headed over to her parents house because I hadn’t met them yet. They told us at that meeting that we’d be their photogs and we were so excited! Lindsay and Jesse are such a fun couple and we had so much fun and their engagement session is evidence of it. They trusted us as we cruised old Ellicott City and Centennial Park and we literally chased daylight until we had none. They crushed their session and we are pretty excited to be shooting their 2022 wedding!
