Downtown Annapolis Engagement : Ruthie & Dave

I met Ruthie I think when I was 6 years old?  I don't know exactly when or how our friendship began but it has lasted for 20 years.  In middle school our parents put us on a plane to go to Europe (where her grandparent's lived) and we had a crazy amount of fun.  From accidentally gluing our hands to the pull down snack table on the plane, to forgetting our passports while trying to take a day trip, to falling asleep on a tour in Holland, that trip is FULL of amazing memories that I am so grateful to have. With Ruthie, you are guaranteed to laugh and have an adventure.  So many of my good memories in life are with her.

This Saturday she is marrying the man of her dreams, but it seems like just yesterday we were sitting in her bedroom, listening to Plus One CD's talking about our future weddings. I'm SO happy for her!

It is always fun when friends get married, but it is awesome when friends marry GREAT people.  From what I have seen of Dave, he is beyond perfect for Ruthie and I can't wait to see what they can do together in this life. 

We picked downtown Annapolis for their engagement session and even though it was a little chilly, their sunrise session was perfect.  It was such a blast!

Thank you for allowing me to help tell your story!  I can't wait for Saturday!!

Quiet Waters Park Wedding : Brooke & Robert : July 2013

It was freshman year of high school when I first met Brooke.  Everyone that knew her liked her.  She was strong, beautiful, opinionated and kind and everyone wanted to be her friend.  After freshman year, our county did redistricting and we ended up at separate high schools.  Fast forward to freshman year of college and we ended up in the same English class.  Thanks to facebook, over the years we have kept in touch.  It was such an honor to get an email from her asking me to shoot her wedding.  Thru all of the planning process I got to know her other half thanks to her future mother in law.  The day was perfect. 

Brooke arrived with her hair and make up already done.  She looked absolutely gorgeous!

While we were waiting on one of the groomsmen, I was able to sneak in a few pictures of Bobby.  He is a sunglasses man.

Absolutely gorgeous!

Their ceremony was so sweet!

By far the most incredible presentation I have seen from a catering company! 

Brooke and Bobby, I wish you both the best.  It was such a beautiful day.  Thank you for allowing me to capture it for you!
