This is probably one of my favorite sessions of the year so sorry for the oversharing! Daniel is actually technically my nephew (although he is our age). He and Jill got engaged this past year and started planning their chic DC wedding. Like all 2020 couples, COVID reared its ugly head and threw their plans […]

I was NOT going to do a behind the scenes  blog post this year, In fact, I HATE the way I look when I am working. This is not a glamorous job people. I sweat. My hair is a hot mess. My makeup runs. I have to wear these really unattractive shoes so my plantar […]

2019 Behind the Scenes | Washington DC Wedding Photographer | Personal Post

  2019, Wow. What a freakin’ ride. When I look back at this year, I kind of have to laugh. Starting this year, my word of the year was “Rest”. I did anything but rest. I came in from 2018 pretty worn down from my biggest year yet so, I raised my prices and vowed […]

What could be a better addition to an engagement shoot than a new puppy!? Vince got Nicole this darling pupper as a gift; he gave Nicole the collar first and she was utterly confused until she saw Zeppelin! These two actually live in Chicago but traveled back home to Maryland for a friend’s wedding. While […]

Best Maryland Engagement Photos Kir Tuben

Shira & Brian are the sweetest pair. Their love is super natural and they both have a casual spirit about them that I love. We decided to snap engagement photos in one of their favorite places: Baltimore. These two got to love this city and it’s where their relationship blossomed. They would spend time walking around the waterfront and enjoying good food and scenic sunsets together. What a better way to celebrate your relationship than to commemorate your favorite spots together.

I swear it, Alex and Alyse have the BEST LUCK with photos! We walked to their favorite little pier in Baltimore only to find a historic boat show passing through! The rain held out for us as we heard cannons firing off in the distance! We ended our session at their favorite Ice Cream store, Baltimore Licks, where we got perfect parking and a lot of treats!

Here are my favorite rustic Northern Virginia Wedding Venues and below are my favorite Maryland wedding venue favorites:

Best Maryland Wedding Venues | Maryland Wedding Photographer | Couples Education

I know what you’re thinking.. ‘These are the raddest engagement photos ever.’ Given my long history with this bride, I knew her engagement photos would be less than typical and super creative/fun. Jen & Perry wanted photos out of the ordinary ‘nuzzling in a park’. A costume engagement just fits them so perfectly.

Well, it FINALLY happened.. I had a couple select this dream location for their engagement photos! CAN YOU EVEN BELIEVE THIS PLACE EXISTS!? Jess and Zimri are my idea of the perfect clients- adventurous, hilarious and super in love. When I suggested the inside of a clocktower, they jumped at the chance to explore someplace new.

Every year, I have a handful of Baltimore brides looking for engagement locations. I have comprised a list of my favorite Virginia, DC and Bucket-List locations so it would only make sense that I would create a Baltimore list! Here are my favorite places to shoot engagement sessions in Maryland.
