On Sunday, I drove just over an hour south of Annapolis to the sweet Southern Maryland town of Prince Frederick for Kirsten & Jesse’s Engagement Session! We ran all over Jesse’s Family Estate on the Patuxent River, soaking up every gorgeous moment of spring sunlight… and capturing some of my FAVORITE engagement pictures of all time.
Kirsten and Jesse met while attending Washington College and remained friends until graduation. And then, with college behind them, a spark was lit and they glimpsed at the possibility of a once in a lifetime love. These two sweethearts are incredibly down to earth and were a blast to spend the evening with! I seriously cannot express how much I adored getting to know them… and I can’t wait to photograph their wedding this summer at one of my favorite venues!
Congratulations Kirsten & Jesse! I am SO excited to share these photographs with you all today!
