Callie and Chris- A Harpers Ferry, West Virginia Engagement Session

A while back, I photographed Katy & Drew's engagement session at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. One of the backdrops we used was the St. John's Episcopal Church Ruins Well, that session led Chris to me even BEFORE he proposed to Callie!
Callie and Chris met in Hawaii (where Callie now lives), but they have spent much of their relationship apart since Chris was stationed in Georgia. Ever since the possibility of becoming engaged, Callie wanted to have the engagement shoot in front of church ruins. This lead to asking around, lots of google searching, the proposal, and finally the shoot!

Pratik and Ronak- Lincoln Memorial, Washington, D.C Surprise Proposal

Last Friday morning, was not the warmest of mornings at all, but you could find me hanging out in front of the Lincoln Memorial in DC. I was there to photograph waiting to spot Pratik and his girlfriend, Ronak. They had flown in from Texas the evening before and were spending Valentine's Day/President's Day weekend in DC. Pratik wanted to kick it off by proposing to Ronak, and he did just that, AND she said YES!

Here are a some of my favorites from the surprise proposal:

Jade and Ryan- A Montego Bay, Jamaica Destination Wedding

Jade was one of my roommates at Elizabethtown College. She and I had a ton of fun living together in a cramped college dorm room. At the beginning of the fall semester of our junior year, she took me to her family's annual camping trip. Before going, she warned me to stay away from her brother's friends. They were "trouble." During the trip, she met Ryan... one of her brother's friends. The chemistry between them was instant. They started dating, and they have been together ever since. Years later, Jade and Ryan got married in Montego Bay, Jamaica at the Iberostar Resort! I was able to make the trip out there and photograph their gorgeous wedding.

Here are a few of my favorites from their wedding:
