Katie + Matt [Maryland Engagement]

This blog post is extra special because Katie is one of my very dearest friends.

Strolling the lavish gardens of the Conestoga House was so much fun with this stunning couple! We laughed our way through the entire session.

Valerie & Jimmy reside in Boston, the city where they met when attending the same college. A mutual friend’s birthday party brought them together, and their relationship endured long distance while Valerie studied abroad in Greece.

Paul + Tricia [Gettysburg Engagement]

As we strolled through a beautiful area of Gettysburg, they told me about the proposal. Paul did an excellent job planning a special evening while Tricia was visiting him in Chicago this summer. He popped the question in Lincoln Park, and then they celebrated with dinner and a Billy Joel concert!!
