On a chilly February afternoon, Stephanie and Jake met me in downtown Annapolis for their engagement session! They brought along their adorable pup, Autumn, who walked along the historic streets and alleyways with us for the first half of the shoot!
Stephanie is a vibrant burst of happiness and Jake always knows how to put that smile on her face. After spending two hours with these two, I can honestly say that Stephanie has found her soulmate and Jake too, as found the woman that he cannot wait to love for a lifetime.
I am so excited to photograph their wedding this spring at Shore House Gardens! Congratulations Stephanie & Jake!
Love these Natalie! They seem like such a sweet couple and I love that black and white shot where Stephanie is laughing!
Such cuties!
