Engagements

Lindsay & Michael {Engaged}

Have you ever met someone and immediately felt like old friends? Sometimes within just the space of an hour, you can go from formal introductory handshakes to big hugs goodbye, with smiles and stories fueling the soul for days to come afterward. That’s exactly what happened the day I met Lindsay and Michael (aka Zook) for their engagement session.

I see so much of myself and my husband in these two, and the three of us instantly hit it off once we realized that we all LOVE french toast. Lindsay is stunningly gorgeous, with a laugh that could light up a room. And Zook is really, really good at drawing that laugh out, whether he’s teasing her about buying too many pears or sweetly kissing her forehead. They’re perfect for each other.

We met in Annapolis on the hottest day of the spring thus far. Downtown was a bustle of activity, with families and politicians alike hurrying around us. Zook swears that Chris Christie even walked by behind us! I couldn’t tell you for sure, because for a moment, everyone else faded away and it was all about these two.

Their joy and love for one another is truly contagious and refreshing. You can feel their excitement and anticipation for the wedding building, which will be here before we know it. Congratulations, you two!
