Kelly & Greg Engagement Session :: Jerusalem Mill and Baltimore

February 3, 2015
1 Comment

Aww I am so excited to share this amazing couple! And before I even get into sharing their engagement photos, I have to share this one first that I had the joy of taking at Lauren & Austin’s wedding last year! I can only imagine that Greg must have been bursting with excitement at this point, because shortly after her sister Lauren’s wedding, Kelly received a ring of her own and a very exciting and important question! I love their story & am so happy for these two!

And I am beyond excited to get to work with Kelly and Greg now – these two are so sweet and fun to hang around with! So easy-going and happy to be together – and especially around the time of their engagement session when Greg was spending the majority of several weeks training to become a State Police! Such a tough journey to get there I’m sure, and I’m so glad the two of them get to be reunited with a more normal routine again. & Of course a huge congratulations to Greg on completing such an incredible accomplishment! :)

Kelly had some really cute ideas that she brought to the session as well, and we even got to incorporate their adorable pup Riley! Such a cutie :) We started off the session at Jerusalem Mill, which is always a gorgeous spot for photos! And we finished the session up in Baltimore at Federal Hill, adding in a little Orioles and Ravens spirit! :) These two are so great! I cannot wait to photograph their wedding this October & getting to see lots of familiar faces will such an awesome bonus too!
