These two had such an amazing Baltimore engagement session! I knew from the moment we ended their session that it was something I was going to be excited to blog. 

When we first started talking about their photos, they expressed wanting to spend the day visiting some of their favorite places in the city. Ummm, sign me up. I love when my couples choose to have an authentic, fun day. 

Being engaged is such a brief period of your life. I think taking photos in places that you really loved while you were engaged is such a beautiful way to honor the experience. 

I love to think of your hypothetical future kids or grandkids looking at these photos and not just seeing people in love. But seeing a true snapshot of what LIFE was like for you. The restaurants you loved. The parks you visited. The streets you walked. 

It doesn’t get more notstaglic and vibey than that. And this Baltimore engagement session perfectly fit the bill.

This couple chose three different locations for their day! 

We started off at: Pitango. If you have not been, you need to! Run now! This is one of their is one of their favorite coffee shops. You can regularly find them here on a lazy weekend morning sipping lattes together. For the session, the bride even put their wedding date in the foam and it was the cutest thing ever. A real little time stamp for them!

The next place we stopped was The Dive.

This is where they had their first date. If you want to add your first date location to your engagement session… PLEASE hire me as your photographer because I am a total sap for that. I love love.

Because, what do you mean that not that long ago you were two strangers on this same sidewalk, and now you’re committing to witness each other’s lives forever!? I’m always going to want to capture that as a Maryland wedding photographer. 

The last place we visited was Patterson Park.

This is another regular staple for them, and they enjoy taking their sweet pup here often! Do you think we stopped by their house and brought their puppy along? YOU KNOW WE DID. We spent the rest of the session frolicking in the park, enjoying the sunshine and popping champagne. I can’t really think of a better way to celebrate being engaged than that. 

I’m photographing this sweet couples’ wedding this coming spring at Woodberry Kitchen in Baltimore, and I’m super excited! I LOVE that venue and I know it’s going to be just as dreamy as their photo session. 

I love photographing these two! Their entire Baltimore engagement session was a dream.

It was quintessential Baltimore. It was all about their LOVE. And it was playful, familiar and nostalgic. I was so inspired as an artist the entire day.

Psst: This engagement session was also photographed on digital & film. If you love that look, we should chat!! I’d be honored to witness & document your love story too.
