Allie and Tim are adventurers living in DC. They have a city chic style and resonate with each other’s silliness. Capturing them was a blast and they were up for anything… lie in the snow – sure! Dance in Baker Park – Let’s do it! The golden sunset during an icy March evening was the perfect backdrop for this unique couple.
Something a little different today- we are sharing a Frederick, Maryland engagement photo session! Our newest FrederickWeddings.com member, Ashley Jayde Photography, shared this sweet photo session with us and we couldn’t resist. And the story behind it is adorable, too!
From Ashley:
Remember at the end of September/early October when it rained? I’m not talking about normal Maryland rain—I am talking about constant downpour that lasted for a week. The rain caused some flooding in areas of Maryland. We played around with different location ideas leading up to the scheduled session. A muddy and messy day seemed inevitable. The couple chose Sugarloaf Mountain in Dickerson, MD with mobility in mind and I could not have been more pleased with the location. The sun came out only hours before the shoot and the evening sunset? AHH-MAZING! The couple was so great to work with and I am looking forward to their Frederick wedding.
See? Told you it was a good story! Check out the adorable photos from their Sugarloaf Mountain engagement session below!
From the Photographer:
Luke and Samantha are high school sweethearts, although their high school years are fading, their love is not. Their love is vibrant, sweet and real. We met at a local green house for their session, the light was perfect, their love is perfect and the photos hardly do it justice!

It all started with an e-mail to a girl who I had never met in person before. My mom had given me an email address and told me I should write first and say ‘hello.’ All I knew was that her name was Kim. First there were e-mail exchanges, then telephone calls and eventually our face-to-face meeting at her place in North Carolina. When I first saw Kim, she was wearing the prettiest white dress when she opened the door. She later confessed to me that it took her hours to prepare for our first date and that she was very nervous. I was definitely nervous, too. Every new memory we shared with each other has been special, from our first time having sushi together to eventually planning our wedding. Our paths were set so that we would one day meet each other and no matter how we got to this point, we ended up in each other’s lives as husband and wife.
Isn’t that just so sweet? We love their casual stroll downtown and how Daysy documented their love of Downtown Frederick. Thanks for sharing and congrats to Kim-Ngan and John!
Henry is an architect, so when he decided to propose to Jennifer, he had some high in the sky aspirations of how he would do it – and he made it happen! First, he handmade five large puzzle pieces and sent Jennifer on a scavenger hunt to find all of them. This took her on flights up and down the East Coast, seeing loved ones and meaningful places along the way. Once she had gathered the first four pieces, she only had one left – the one that Henry had carved into a puzzle piece/ring box combo. Once she retrieved the final puzzle piece, Henry proposed… and how could she say anything but yes! Marcella Treybig Photography shared their Ellicott City-based engagement session with us.
Even though Jon and Lara shared a group of mutual friends, they never had a chance to meet each other. Each time this group would get together, either Jon or Lara would be present, but never both! Finally, when Jon’s best friend married Lara’s high school friend, the resulting house-warming party served as the perfect meeting place. There was one problem – Lara had recently decided to swear off dating. She tried to spend most of the time catching up with her girlfriends, but some guy kept entering each conversation. It was Jon. He soon charmed Lara into three dates in one week, and eventually, the two became engaged.
Jacqie Q Photography captured this lovely engagement session for Jon and Lara in the historic Frederick County Town of New Market. Thanks for sharing, Jacqie!
Rachael of Rachael Boer Photography recently sent us the cutest engagement session using our very favorite backdrop – our beloved Downtown Frederick.
“Kim and John were looking for a historic urban setting for their engagement portraits. I instantly thought of Frederick, since the downtown area is extremely cute and offers a lot of variety. We scheduled this session for sunset and had a great time exploring the Historic District, shooting in alleys, parks, sidewalks and on street corners. What we captured is an engagement album full of love, laughter and gorgeous sunlight. These two were married a few months later in a beautiful outdoor ceremony and have recently celebrated their first anniversary!”
