If you've never been to Elizabethtown College (aka E-Town), it's a SMALL school. There are under 2,500 undergrads. Yes, it's THAT SMALL. It is actually SMALLER than my high school! With a school that size you pretty much know everyone.During my Freshmen year, I met Dan. We had some classes together, and we seemed to hang out with the same hooligans. Sometime during Dan's college experience, he met Jackie. For a while, they would find "reasons" to spend time together. They'd go to the library and attempt to work on things for class, but nothing ever seemed to get accomplished. After a lot of awkward moments, they FINALLY started dating. Then last September, Dan proposed to Jackie on the beach in Ocean City, NJ. Dan and Jackie decided they wanted to travel to the Virginia area for their engagement shoot. Dan, Jackie, my Voice Activated Lightstand (Rich Kessler), and I went into Old Town Manassas and then to Manassas Battlefield. We had a lot of fun and a lot of laughs. We seemed to luck out with the thunder storms, and it only rained while we were driving between locations. Jackie and Dan- I CANNOT WAIT for your wedding this September! It's going to be great spending the day with the two of you! And a HUGE thank you to Rich for helping me navigate and rocking the lights!

Annapolis, MD is a photographer's dream location! When Chesapeake Bay natives, Brittany and Brendon, won my Summer 2011 Engagement Contest, it was the obvious spot for their engagement shoot. Even though Brittany and Brendon attended to school with each other and lived on the same island in Maryland, they never met. After graduating from high school, Brittany attended college online and led the Christian rock band, Beyond The Veil (BTV), with her sisters. Brendon left Maryland for Indiana to attend college at Purdue and graduated earlier this year with a degree in astronautical engineering (yeah, he really is a rocket scientist). In 2008, BTV released a Christmas single and after hearing it, Brendon wanted to know more about her. Unfortunately, she was already in a relationship; however, after that relationship closed its doors, she thought of Brendon. She struck up a conversation and they were both intrigued. Despite thinking that they had too much on their schedules to get into a relationship, after an all night talk on the phone, they were in love.

Despite the distance and some rough patches as a couple, their relationship has only grown stronger.

Come on, how can you not appreciate a love story like that?

I had SO much fun photographing this couple, they were up for anything and everything! Brittany, with her performing background, was a natural and definitely knew how to work the camera. And Brendon, he may be a rocket scientist, but he is anything but stiff or serious.
