Love Story: Darcy and Patrick’s Wake Forest Engagement Session

Engagement, Love, Stories Documented  //  17th October 2012

As we sat outside of Campus Grounds and enjoyed some coffee while soaking in the AMAZING fall day, Darcy and Patrick reminisced about their days on campus. They chatted about those days walking to and from their freshman dorms to enjoy every meal with their huge group of friends. Dinner was definitely their favorite because by that time classes were over for the day and they could all just chill.  They laughed about the time Darcy played one too many tricks on their friend and he lovingly let her know by smashing an ice cream cone in her face! ;) And they smiled endlessly as they remembered the memories of the beginning of their forever together!

As we walked across the beautiful campus at Wake Forest, Darcy and Patrick relived the days of carefree living and gorgeous surroundings. Being back on campus was the perfect way to take some time together to soak in their lives… to remember the days of falling in love and imagine the days ahead where that feeling comes back with each and every moment together!

We had a blast exploring Wake Forest with Darcy and Patrick.  (It may have even taken Ryan and I back to our days at Bucknell! ;) ) LOVED IT! ;) Thank you Darcy and Patrick for such a fun and beautiful couple of hours! You two are amazing and we are so honored to be capturing your love story!

Darcy and Patrick are HUGE Wake Forest Football fans! As season ticket holders, we couldn’t miss out on the opportunity to capture some love at the stadium! Since it was dark, we experimented a bit with our lighting and we could not be more excited about the results! ;) Love this image below!

 

Kara and Mike’s Annapolis Engagement Session

Engagement, Love, Stories Documented  //  9th October 2012

When Kara and Mike told us that the perfect picture they could imagine of themselves was growing old together like in the scene of Up, my heart jumped a bit!!  First of all… LOVE that movie.  And second of all, whenever we see a super cute old couple together, we always get super excited and just want to squeeze them tight!

Life is certainly an adventure!!!  And when Kara and Mike referenced Up, we couldn’t help but be reminded of how AMAZING it is to know you have found that person with whom you want to share that adventure!

Kara and Mike love to go on adventures together… especially when they involve Annapolis!  Not only is it the place where they got engaged, but it is also the place that they have shared many special moments together!… including the first time Mike met Kara’s parents and just happened to be standing in front of Zachary’s Jewelers!  We won’t talk about what happened next… lol… but Kara and Mike just love to stroll through the streets and end their perfect date with Storm Bros. Ice Cream by the water!

What a blast it was for us to be able to share in one of their perfect dates together!! Kara and Mike, we hope these photos always remind you that you have certainly found a special adventure partner in each other! Here’s to a life full of amazing adventures!!!

 

Casey and Joe’s Patterson Park Tennis Engagement Session

Engagement, Love, Stories Documented  //  26th September 2012

It is always our goal to turn our engagement sessions into a little date night for our couples.  We want to provide an excuse to escape the everyday craziness and do something that is fun and enjoyable!  When we found out that one of Casey and Joe’s favorite things to do together is play tennis… we knew we had to incorporate tennis in some way!

Thankfully, Casey and Joe did not think we were crazy and they went with the idea.  After a friendly match and a bet that resulted in Casey buying Joe some yogurt at the end of the evening, I think we can all say that their engagement session was nothing short of fun and enjoyable!

Casey and Joe have this way of being together that is so calm and comfortable.  We LOVED loved loved how they were able to forget about everyone else in the park and enjoy the time together to soak each other in!

Casey and Joe… thanks for such an enjoyable evening in the Park!  You two are amazing!

Football, Crafts, & Cowboy Boots: Jenn and Ben’s Annapolis Engagement

Engagement, Love, Stories Documented  //  20th September 2012

Gosh, we are so blessed to have such amazing clients!  It is amazing how God works his magic and brings incredible people into your lives!  As we started to get to know Jenn and Ben, we instantly fell in love with them!

Jenn owns her own crafting company!  (enough said, right?!  ;) )  But in addition to her love of crafting, she is also just one of the sweetest people in the world!  Ben played football… kind of like Friday Night Lights style in his hometown in TX.  Then he made his way up to the second best Patriot League school in PA, Lehigh (haha… second of course to Bucknell!  ;) ), where he also played football.  As our conversation went on during the consultation, we realized Ben and Ryan actually played football against each other in college!  ;)  We won’t mention who won because my ranking comment earlier just won’t make any sense!… lol.  But small world right?!?

We also love when our amazing couples introduce us to fabulous new places!  Jenn and Ben introduced us to Sandy Point State Park last week.  Yes, yes, we have always seen the signs and admired the beaches from afar on our way to and from the Eastern Shore, but we never had the excuse to check it out!  (If you are reading this and you are in the same boat… I am giving you the excuse right now… go check it out!  ;) ).

Ben surprised Jenn one day by picking her up from work.  He had planned a special afternoon away from the craziness of life at Sandy Point.  Ben had gone over early to scout out the perfect spot.  He put the blanket down and was ready to pop the question.  As soon as Jenn got off work, he brought her over to the perfect spot he had picked out- only to find a family full of kids that also decided it was the perfect spot on the beach!  ;)  Suggesting they go for a walk, Ben didn’t skip a beat in making sure this special afternoon was everything they dreamed it to be!

We could not be more grateful to be able to capture this amazing time in Jenn and Ben’s lives!  Thanks Jenn and Ben for the amazing excuse to check out Sandy Point and to be able to share the afternoon with you!  You two are amazing!

Love Story: Sarah and Joe’s Federal Hill Baltimore Engagement Session

Engagement, Love, Stories Documented  //  11th September 2012

Ohh my goodness these two are ADORABLE!!!

Sarah and Joe’s lives have been a bit crazy over the past month.  As we were planning their engagement session, Sarah and Joe were going to be making their way to Baltimore from their home in NJ for a little getaway weekend!  However, just weeks before their session Joe had the opportunity to change jobs that would relocate them to Baltimore!!!  So, instead of a little getaway to Baltimore, Sarah and Joe decided to make the big move to Baltimore!!

Just two days before this engagement session in their new hometown… Sarah and Joe were finalizing the logistics to make the transition from NJ to Baltimore.  WAHOOO!  After a few weeks of living separately as Joe started his new job in Baltimore and Sarah finished up her old job in NJ it was time for them to get a moment away and soak it all in!!

We had a blast with Sarah and Joe- showing them around their new hometown!!  And we are so incredibly excited to give them a warm welcome to Baltimore!!… as you will see, they are already on the right track with that Raven’s jersey!  We will work on Sarah!  ;)
