Gahhh!! If I had a favorite session of the year it would be this one, and I can say that biased because Melissa is not just one of my 2023 brides but because she is my right hand, my amazing associate photographer, and she keeps our editing queue on point and running. She’s basically my best friend. I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am for her and Chandler. And a crazy cool fact… Patrick and I photographed Chandler’s mom wedding in 2015!

No one would believe us if we told them we got to ride in a helicopter at an engagement session… but we did, even if it was less than 10 seconds. Kasey and Steve had the most suspenseful e-session you could imagine (well, that we’ve had at least!). Story to come…

Patrick and I left Baltimore on an afternoon before rush hour to head up to Atlantic City, New Jersey for a beach engagement session. Kasey and Steve have sentimental ties to a cute beach called Brigantine, NJ just north of Atlantic City (you can see Atlantic City from where we were). Steve grew up there in the summer growing up and his parents have a home there. We had the honor of meeting them and let me tell you… Kasey is getting a stellar mother-in-law! The weather behaved so well and our couple did fabulous!
