I’ve known Gabe for quite some time now, and though not previously knowing Megan I knew she had to be awesome.  I mean, with a name like that HOW COULD SHE NOT BE AWESOME.  Megan and Gabe are the true example of opposites attract; Megan a beautiful, smart, dedicated accountant.  I KNOW, an accountant.  And Gabe?  Outgoing, absolutely hilarious, and always up for a good time.  But what I didn’t expect is for them to rub off on each other, making them both the most perfect balance of each.

I’m soo excited for their wedding next June at the Historic Oakland Mansion, as I’m pretty sure it’s going to be one heck of a party.

Since Megan and Gabe just bought a beautiful home in Baltimore, they chose to have their engagement photos taken just right up the street at Mt. Vernon.

Megan just started getting into photography, which is great, because Gabe LOVES HAVING HIS PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN.  I told her she should have brought her camera and we could have had a shoot out.

Seriously, how cute are they?

Looking wayyy fine there, Gabe.

This one on the right sums up Gabe completely.  Big smile, all the time.

Megan said she was a little nervous about the photo shoot.  Why, I am not sure, just LOOK AT THIS ONE.  It’s my favorite.  You two are just lovely.

And the blue eyes.  Beautiful Megan, you are beautiful.

Mt. Vernon is quickly becoming one of my favorite places to shoot.  So pretty everywhere you turn!

I love you, Megan.  No really.  I think we came from the same seed. 

The sun was quickly fading, but we finished up their engagement photos on this adorable little stoop.  Megan and Gabe, stop being so cute.

And then after our session, we ended with a group hug.  Gabe: “Ya’ll are my two favorite Megans!”  Chaa-ching!

His plan was going to go through, even if the same spot on Sandy Island, right off of Anguilla was just televised on the Bachelor that week.  On Liz’s annual St. Martin’s birthday trip, this year with their friends in tow, they chartered a boat and headed out island hopping around the Caribbean.  With the precious cargo in Alden’s bag, the boat anchored and they had to swim ashore, all while Alden nervously kept the bag out of the water in between the crystal, clear blue, crashing waves.  They finally made it ashore and Liz spotted a couple of chairs down on the far end of the island.  As they were walking over she noticed a bottle of Champagne buried in the sand, hesitant to take someone’s seat, Alden assured her it was theirs then got down on one knee and asked her to marry him.

I’m so excited for Liz and Alden’s wedding next September at Newton White Mansion, not only because they are absolutely adorable together but because it’s such a honor to photograph a friend from high school.  And I kid you not, these following images are from the very first frames of the shoot.  Like, seriously Liz?  Love love love, it all!  You look so pretty!

For their engagement photos we started off at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum in St. Michael’s Maryland.  And here is Alden looking so foxy.  Yes, I just said foxy.

I told you they were cute!

Love this sweet moment!

This beautifulness right here is my favorite from the day, I think.  And those oars on the left?  Yes, they were PERFECTLY placed.

Although we had met before, I hadn’t realized how tall Alden was until we started shooting.  Tall, dark and handsome!

I love watching you two laugh with each other.  Seriously.  Ya’ll are adorable.

Holy ferociousness LIZ.  I’m in love with this image of you.  

Right before the sunset over the horizon we drove around the corner to the Inn at Perry Cabin, where Wedding Crashers was filmed to wrap up their engagement photos.  Because really, look at that dusk sky glowing behind them!

Alden is a natural in front of the camera.  He’s so GQ.

The Inn at Perry Cabin as a beautiful backdrop?  Yes, please.

Gurrrl, you make wind look GOOD.

We finished the session right as the sky was turning to night.  And I’m not going to lie, I love this one too, great way to end a beautiful day.

Yea, we didn’t really like each other when we first met, she goes on to tell me.  It was their first meeting, a get together at his place in college.  She walked in with her friends and mighhhhhtt have made a comment about the temperature being slightly on the warm side.  Nick, still unsure of this girl walking in his house making temperature complaints, told her that if she didn’t like it, then she was more than welcome to leave.  And so she did.  Luckily they had another chance encounter one night while they were out, and this time it went much smoother.  In fact, they hit it off, all but forgetting what had once been and now changing the course of their lives.

I’m so excited for Christine and Nick’s wedding next July in Baltimore.  Not only is Christine just the sweetest thing in the world, but Nick and I grew up together.  Like community pool, tot swim team…go NCA GATORS!  Things have changed quite a bit from back in those swim team days, and I couldn’t be more honored to photograph their wedding.

And when the session starts off like this, I mean really, how cute are they?

It was mighty windy on that day in Canton, but I think it adds to Christine’s beauty.

I just love this one, definitely my favorite from the day.

And then they changed into something a little dressier, and we headed over to Fells Point to finish up their engagement photos.

Oh hey there, UMM GORGEOUS.

Christine, you have the best legs, seriously.  My short little legs are way jealous.

Nick looking quite handsome and all grown up from the days when I knew him!

And I’ll end it with this amazing image, which is also my favorite.  My blog, I can have two favorites if I want.
