On Saturday, I met Ali and Jon at Patapsco Valley State Park for their Engagement Session! It was the perfect day and felt much more like October than December… Sixty degrees and sunny! I had such an amazing time getting to know these two and I can’t wait for their wedding at Belmont Manor next year!
Ali and Jon met at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland where they fell in love. The pair then moved to Baltimore for work and their love story continued. They are both incredibly brilliant and downright hilarious. We laughed our way around the trails and ended by the riverside. Oh, and we even got visited by a gorgeous black horse. I love it when spontaneous opportunities arise!
Congratulations Ali + Jon! See you in a few short months!
