There’s nothing better than reconnecting with old friends, and Donnie? I’ve known him for what seems like forever! It’s been years since we’ve seen each other and I’m so grateful the time catching up was at his engagement session. I asked them to pick a location that was meaningful to them, and I love that […]

After photographing Caitlin and Ryan near their home in Baltimore, I’m pretty sure every engagement shoot needs to involve ice cream. [Thank you to Bmore Licks for letting us shoot around your amazing store!] This shoot is special to me because I met Caitlin through her sister [remember that epic Ocean City Engagement and Baltimore […]

There is no secret that any couple who loves the beach enough to bring me down to photograph them there will always have a sweet spot in my heart. I can’t help but carry that sentiment into their session. Kelly and Andrew were seriously a dream. It was a 75 + sunny kind of day in August […]

A few weekends ago, I flew to Atlanta for an engagement session! I was there for a total of 24 hours, so it was a whirlwind but it was so worth it! Jennifer and I had been trying to find a good time to schedule this shoot. Patrick is a 4 hour drive away, and […]

A couple of weekends ago I spent some time with David and Taryn in DC for their engagement session! After a rogue frost delayed the peak bloom of the cherry blossoms, this sweet couple drove around DC looking for other options for our shoot. Taryn’s dad works in the city, and he deserves a shout […]

Although his boss had been trying to set them up for a while, Matt decided he’d be the one to make the introduction. So when he saw Christie at a soccer game, he walked right up to her, introduced himself, and “now, here we are,” as Matt said. Matt proposed to Christie in Williamsburg and the two […]
