A Summer Engagement Session in Downtown Annapolis

Jen & Brent

I can’t wait to introduce you to Jen and Brent! It’s hard to believe, but I’ve known Jen for well over ten years now. We first met when I was attending the University of Maryland – I was in the sorority Zeta Tau Alpha, and she was one of our chapter’s alumna advisors! It’s so funny to think that there was definitely a time I was a little afraid of Jen and might have tried to sneak a few things past her in the sorority house, and now here we are and I get to photograph her WEDDING!

Thank goodness things worked out the way they did, because I just love her and Brent and the beautiful life they’ve created together. Brent is totally perfect for Jen – and reminds me so much of Adam that it’s a little scary how alike they are! He loves to tease Jen and their banter is hilarious, but I’m pretty sure he’s still a big softie underneath it all!

We met in Annapolis for their engagement session, and actually began their session on the rooftop of the parking garage. A little unorthodox for sure, but the light was PERFECT and there wasn’t a soul in sight – a rare find on a beautiful summer night in Annapolis! Afterwards, we walked down to the docks for more portraits by the water. The light was bright, but we made it work and I love the result!

To wrap things up (and as a little moment of bribery for Brent, no shame in our game) we stopped for a quick drink and a bite together at one of the restaurants downtown. I absolutely love it when I get some “off” time with my couples to simply talk and spend time together. It’s the perfect chance for them to slow down and celebrate their engagement, too!

Enjoy a few favorites from their engagement session, and stay tuned for the wedding next spring!

I’ve honestly lost track of how many times I’ve photographed this family now, and each time truly gets better and better! Sticking with one photographer over the years is one of the best things a family can do, because it allows everyone to feel more comfortable and genuinely enjoy the session. One thing is certain, […]

When you have clients that love and appreciate art as much as Isabella and Jory, you find a way to showcase that love in photos. For them, that meant a National Gallery of Art engagement session. It turned out more perfect than I could have imagined. Including personal items or highlighting shared interests is something […]
