Heather & Jay's Engagement Session; University of Maryland

I have a lot of great friends who all tell me "When I get married one day I want you to photograph my wedding".   It's an awesome compliment but it's even better when that day finally comes.  I was having lunch with Heather last year and she turned and said that phrase to me.  I never dreamed that her day would come so soon!  I was so excited to hear that she was engaged and I was going to be shooting the big day in October.  So I headed out to Maryland just a few weeks ago to meet Heather and Jay at The University of Maryland to photograph their engagement session.  Jay had scouted out some great locations for our shoot around campus and our final photos were at the Comcast Stadium where Heather and Jay met.  Here are just a few of my favorite photos from our day!


This was one of the first shots I took of Heather and Jay and it has to be my favorite from the day.  Simple and classic with great smiles and energy!


Heather is a ton of fun and this shot was taken just after Jay tried to dip her.  I love Heathers expression and how Jay is smiling at her.  Such a great candid moment!


 The University of Maryland had so many lovely little spots to photograph in.  We found a beautiful little reflecting pool with all these great stones.  It was the perfect backdrop for Heather's stunning ring.


 This shot really embodies the feel of the campus and of Heather and Jay's love!  


There's not a whole lot I can say about this shot.  Just a super cute pose and a super cute couple!


Congratulations Heather and Jay!  Can't wait to be there for your big day!

Amy & Justin's Engagement Session; The Depot

I am so excited to share this super fun engagement session with everyone!  Amy and Justin were the lucky winners of a free engagement session with us through Columbus Bride.  I knew this session would be extra special when I first met with Amy and Justin.  They were thrilled to have won the contest and were full of great ideas.  They even had a spot picked out for us to shoot at that I had never been too (and I love getting turned on to new great spots in town!).  Here are just a few of my favorite photos from our day at The Depot!


 This is one of my favorites from the day!  I love how Amy is laughing and looking at Justin!  It is one of those perfect moments you just can't pose!


 This shot was one of Amy's great idea's.  A little diner, The Wall Street Journal and a super cute couple!


 Just a classic pose but one that really showcases a tender moment.


 We found this great sign in the parking lot and just had to get a picture there!  It was such a great backdrop!


This is another one of Amy's great ideas!  Classic shot of the engagement ring with a little whimsy thrown in!  


Congratulations Amy & Justin!
