Butler’s Orchard Engagement Session – Una and Matt

Engagement, Love, Stories Documented // 24th July 2014

I have always dreamed of living on a farm. Ryan always jokes with me that I don’t want to actually work on the farm, I just want to live in a farm house. ;) That might be true. However, after Una and Matt’s Butler’s Orchard Engagement Session… I am pretty much convinced, whether I have to work on it or not, living on a farm is definitely still a dream to me! ;)

Una and Matt proposed the idea of going blueberry picking for their engagement session and we could not have been more excited! What a super fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon… strolling through the beautiful blueberry fields while enjoying some blueberry soda and taste-testing just a few berries along the way!

Believe it or not, it is actually not very easy to find a farm who is willing to allow professional photographers on their property for a session like this! But Una and Matt struck gold when they found Butler’s! It was such a perfect location and they could not have been more accommodating! We are so grateful they were so willing to share their beautiful farm with us!

Just a side note… when we do live on our farm ;), we will definitely open up our property to share with others so everyone can enjoy the beauty and the peacefulness of it all too! ;)

Una and Matt- thank you for such a fun session! We loved strolling those fields with you and we cannot wait for your Kent Manor Inn wedding in just a few weeks! ;)

Chicago Millenium Park Engagement Session – Cathy and Jeff

Engagement, Love, Stories Documented // 15th July 2014

These two. Ahh. They came into our lives at such a special moment and I will never forget the evening we received their inquiry email. Jeff had just proposed to Cathy a few days before and without much planned, they knew they wanted us to be their photographers. What an honor! Their email blew us away and will always hold a special place in our hearts!

Cathy and Jeff, wedding photographers as well from Galena, IL, started following along with our AMAZING Life Together site after we did the More Time for Love Webinar in April 2013. When they mentioned that is how they found us, we knew in our hearts they were definitely a couple that we couldn’t wait to photograph! Along with so many other incredible words, their email said:

“We love your heart for your clients, for marriages that thrive, and your fun personalities! Plus, you’re absolutely fabulous photographers!!!”

They get us. They know exactly where our heart is and you have no idea how much that means to us! Our passion stems so much beyond photography!!! But I am not going to lie, these photos make us HAPPY and we get pretty pumped knowing that Cathy and Jeff are going to have these special moments to look back on forever!!! They will always be reminded of their special love and happiness together!

Spending the day with them in Chicago was AMAZING! Their laughter and positive energy is so contagious! We are certainly blessed to have them in our lives as one of our couples, friends, and colleagues too! ;)

Cathy and Jeff- can’t wait to celebrate with you in Galena next year!

Patapsco Park Engagement Session – Andrea and Sean

Engagement, Love, Stories Documented // 1st July 2014

There is something AMAZING about a Sunday stroll through the paths of Patapsco Park!… especially with an AMAZING couple! Every single time we are in the park we say to ourselves, why do we not come here more often?!? ;) Patapsco Park is about 10 miles (if that) outside of the city of Baltimore and it makes you feel like you are in the middle of the back country!

Andrea and Sean suggested the location for their Patapsco Park engagement session because of their love of nature. And let me tell you, it was clear that this was their happy place! They made their session easy for us because they were so comfortable and clearly just LOVED being together especially in such a beautiful environment surrounding them.

It is a pretty special thing when we can walk away from an engagement session feeling refreshed and reenergized from our stroll through the park with some friends! ;) We loved every minute of it!

Annapolis Engagement Session | Lauren and David

Engagement, Love, Stories Documented // 25th June 2014

We were lucky enough to spend our 7 year wedding anniversary with Lauren and David last week photographing their Annapolis Engagement Session. I say lucky enough because these two have absolutely beautiful hearts! We showed up at their door and they handed us an Anniversary bottle of wine! How incredibly sweet is that?!? But even above and beyond that, they shared their AMAZING love with us and we could not be more grateful!

We had so much fun with Lauren and David exploring Quiet Waters Park and the exact location where David proposed in the freezing cold this past winter! ;) And then we made our way to the romantic streets of downtown Annapolis! Seriously, Lauren and David brought the romance to the streets! How AMAZING did Lauren and David look?!? And the added touch of the flowers and champagne!?! SO AMAZING!

Lauren and David- thank you for planning such an AMAZING evening out! We had so much fun strolling through the park and the Annapolis city streets with you! We could not be more grateful for the love that you surrounded us with on our Anniversary! ;) Can’t wait to see you again soon!

St. Michaels Engagement Session | Marianne and Josh

Engagement, Love, Stories Documented // 10th June 2014

St. Michaels is one of our all time favorite places… and we are always up for an Eastern Shore adventure! Seriously, the Eastern Shore steals a piece of our hearts every time we are there! ;) But this time… this visit to the Eastern Shore was extra special. This trip we were surrounded by friends and we just happened to be photographing their engagement session at the same time! ;)

We met Marianne and Josh last May during Kait and Adam’s wedding celebration! You may remember us raving about the Fun House and how we immediately felt like family with these guys!?! Well Marianne just happens to be the super fun sister of Kait! So basically that means she is like a sister to us too! And Josh… we go way back! Way back to some super fun times in that fun house! ;) We like to call him family too! ;)

We could not be more excited to celebrate with “the family” again this year! ;) Marianne and Josh, thanks for such a fun St. Michaels Engagement Session! We love you guys!

Side note: We started their engagement session off by making friends at the St. Michaels Winery, Eastern Shore Brewing, and the Lyon Distilling Company! So much fun!! Definitely check them out when you find yourself in St. Michaels next!
