Cara and Ben met in 2008 at George Mason University and have been together ever since. After school they both remained in the area, living in Northern Virginia. In 2013, Ben proposed to Cara on vacation in Captiva, Florida, asking her if she would continue “playing house” with him. Cara and Ben love the water so the couple will be married this fall at the Annapolis Maritime Museum overlooking Back Creek and the Severn River.

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!

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.
From the photographer:
Cristina went down to Peru to help out at an orphanage, and on the last week there, she met Gonzalo. During the next few days, he would either look for her or text her. She came back to the states, and it was not quite over yet. It started with facebook chat, made its way to texting, and finally they admitted feelings for each other. So Cristina decided to go to Lima, Peru to visit him. The day she got there, he got a ring. And before she left, he got down on one knee.
Having the engagement session in downtown Frederick was PERFECT. It was full of energy and they had a blast, at least I hope so! Their love is evident in the many smiles and hugs.

It isn’t quite time for snow in Frederick, but it’s coming! Here’s an engagement session to get you ready… and see? It’s not that bad AND you can do cute photos!
Jonathan and Julia met as young children while going to church together. At 10 years old they were teased by siblings that they liked each other. It was soon realized that they in fact did like each other. They spent a lot of time instant messaging and writing notes to each other. For Julia’s 13th birthday, Jonathan bought her a heart shaped locket with a picture of him in it. Parents got wind of this and things quickly changed. Fast forward 6 years later to Julia’s college graduation, when her brother invited Jonathan on the family’s celebratory trip. Jonathan stayed an extra day when Julia’s friends went home and they spent time talking and catching up. They were surprised by each other’s personalities and changes during those six years. About three weeks later the two went to a family wedding together and their families were so surprised and excited, as it had been predicted for years. After 17 months of dating, Jonathan proposed on Christmas Eve. He asked Julia to grab gifts out of the trunk, she opened the trunk only to find the open ring box. When she turned around, surprised and confused, she found Jonathan on one knee. The 6.5 month engagement will consist of planning a wedding and buying a house. The two are getting married July 13th, 2014 at The Links at Gettysburg and will be honeymooning in Punta Cana. Thank you to Mary Sarah Photography for sharing this day with us!
We are digging this sweet, simple engagement session! No props, no setups- just two people crazy in love in a place they enjoy!
From the photographer, Mary Brunst:
They are a couple so obviously in love, and so obviously each others best friend. I had an absolute blast hanging out with them and photographing them in downtown Frederick, MD along the Carroll Creek Promenade… where Bryce had proposed to Megan a few months earlier.
We love this sweet engagement session that happened right in the heart of Downtown Frederick. With some beautiful light and a few drinks, Mary Brunst Photography captured a lovely evening with these two lovebirds, and we are excited to share it with you!
From the photographer:
“I met this awesome couple at their engagement session in Frederick, MD last October, and I immediately felt like I was hanging out with old friends. As I was looking at Matt and Carly through the lens of my camera I couldn’t help but notice that these two were constantly smiling, it’s so obvious to see the love that they share.
We had so much fun hanging out at some of their favorite date spots in downtown Frederick; starting off at Wags, having a drink at Brewer’s Alley, then enjoying a walk near Carroll Creek. I couldn’t of asked for a better engagement session to photograph, I felt like I was able to follow them on a date and document a little slice of who they are. Those are my favorite kinds of photo sessions, the kind where I get to tell stories, as they are happening. I so enjoyed hanging out with Matt and Carly, and I’m so very much looking forward to photographing their wedding this August! Congratulations soon-to-be Mr. and Mrs. McVay!”
