Oh my, where do I begin with these two? Abi and Jess are a duo. He plays the piano and she sings. For them, love is music. So it was only natural for them to want this incorporated somehow in their engagement photos. So once upon a time there was a picnic on a beautiful sunny day. …And a wonderful prince with the help of some fairies (Lyn and Randy, and Coreene too!) was able to put together an enchanting picnic in the middle of a fantastic clearing somewhere in Silver Spring, MD. Thanks so much ladies, you did an amazing job and it was a pleasure having you on set:)

We had a lot of fun on this shoot and came away with many great shots, it was so hard for me to pick a few for the blog, and when Jesse told me “I will never forget this day for the rest of my life”, I knew the mission had been accomplished! Beautiful blog stalkers be warned, there is music on here.

Cyndi and Tim are car enthusiasts, and not just for any cars – they are true lovers of Volkswagons. So of course they had to have their babies in some wedding photos with them. Take a guess as to the name of the color of the car on the right. Bet you thought it was blue or maybe purple? Wrong. It’s a Blurple colored car …yeap…that’s Cyndi’s car for you. Congratulations Cyndi and Tim…and to their cats Vinnie, Juanita and …ok I forgot again!

Summer is on it’s way and so are the fabulous engagement and wedding pictures of Abby and Jesse. Keep an eye out, there will be lots of romance coming soon on the avenue…Enjoy this memoir from a lovely picnic in an amazing secret glade on a sunny spring day….

I never got the chance to post Grace and Tola’s engagement pictures on the blog but I was looking through some older pictures today and found this sweet slice of life. Had to share this picture of a sweet kiss on a sweetly lit trail somewhere in a photography sweet paradise. Enjoy!

Taiese lived a couple doors down from Yours Truly in the only girls’ dorm at the University of Maryland, College Park.  Her and Kyle’s relationship budded in front of my very eyes and I still can’t believe they are here, years later, engaged. It’s all so surreal. They are perfect for each other and I say this not because they are friends but because they really do complement each other.

From behind my lens I saw how they interacted and blossomed in each other’s presence. You could feel how much they genuinely liked and enjoyed each other’s company, which is a blessing in any relationship.  Their love is palpable. I only hope I have been able to sufficiently capture their feelings at this special time. It is my hope that even their grandchildren will look back upon these pictures and see the meaning of true love. Go Terps! View full post »

Sometimes it can be challenging to get good shots in harsh sunlight, and that’s just what we faced for Kyle and Taiese’s engagement session: wicked sun and muggy heat. Despite that we found so many lovely places to shoot. I loved this picture because of the warm and cozy light streaming in through the leaves. In this particular shot, the situation is quite dire : )  ”Tai, please marry me before these cars run me over.” But the light was indeed perfect. We’ve got so many amazing photos to share, so stay tuned on the blog.
