Last week, the weatherman forecasted a rainy afternoon and we decided to ‘make the most of it’ with a positive attitude and a wish for sunny weather! Well, Liz and Cory hit the jackpot with a spectacular afternoon in Annapolis and around the Naval Academy as we celebrated their love story & documented this special time in their lives!
I absolutely ADORE these two. And I have to put ‘adore’ in all caps because Liz and Cory are truly one of the most exceptional couples you could imagine meeting. They have this zest for life, this dedication to our country, and a relationship deeply rooted in unconditional love + commitment. Cory is a graduate of the United States Naval Academy and is still serving ten years later. Liz fell head over heels in love with him and moved from her beloved home in New York to take a chance… that resulted in discovering that once in a lifetime love with her soulmate!
I’m so excited to photograph their wedding this May at the Academy! Congratulations Liz & Cory!
PS – I recommend that all of my brides use their Engagement Session as an opportunity have a hair and makeup trial with their Wedding Day Beauty Team and I have to offer a giant THANK YOU to the amazing team at Behind the Veil for moving heaven & earth to fit us in a little earlier so that we could avoid the forecasted rain! You ladies are the best and I’m so grateful to frequently have the opportunity work alongside your extraordinary team!
