What an exciting weekend full of love stories and amazing couples! On Friday through Sunday, I got to spend time with beautiful couples and capture their moments! On Friday and Sunday, I photographed two couples’ engagement sessions in locations which are very significant in each of their relationships. On Saturday I photographed Cate and Raf’s gorgeous wedding at the Annapolis Maritime Museum. 

On Friday, I met up with Paige and Ronnie in downtown Annapolis with their pup, Rufio, for their engagement session. Though a bit cloudy, it was still a very nice day to be by the water! Paige brightened up the day with her beautiful smile and laughter as Ronnie told her jokes and made funny faces at her during our session! This couple had their first date in Annapolis. These two will be getting married in downtown Annapolis on New Year’s Eve, and I am so excited to photograph their wedding at the end of this year!

On Saturday, I had the honor of photographing Cate and Raf’s wedding at the Annapolis Maritime Museum. These two were so bubbly and fun to photograph! With Cate being an Annapolis native and Raf being a Naval officer, it is no surprise their wedding was heavily influenced by the Chesapeake Bay! There was even a boat involved in their special day!

It was very nostalgic to photograph these two around campus and especially in the classroom where they met! I was ecstatic to return to my alma mater as well to photograph their session!
