Amy & Ethan’s Frederick Engagement Session

June 27, 2016 · 2 Comments

I’m excitedly giggling to myself already, for one because I just thought that the title probably should’ve said “Amy & Ethan.. and Elsa’s session!” Elsa is the most sweet and hilarious little Weimaraner, who plays the role of both best dog friend and fur-baby very well! And she may or may not be pretty good at photo-bombing and nuzzling her way into as many shots as possible!! ;) Haha!

When I think back to Amy & Ethan’s session, I really just can’t stop smiling. Oh my gosh we laughed so much – like, I think I was almost actually rolling on the ground laughing at one point! Ahh this was such a fun time! And Amy & Ethan really couldn’t be any sweeter or any cuter! They also happen to have one of the most aww-inspiring proposal stories: Ethan took photos over multiple seasons leading up to the big question.. he took photos carefully spelling out each individual word of “Amy, will you marry me?” throughout various meaningful locations and even included their dogs in some! And it all came together for the final reveal while on a trip to Italy – seriously HOW INCREDIBLE IS THAT?! And because this story is so awesome, it was even shared in the Baltimore Sun too!! I’m just so happy to get to know these two :) Between their fun and welcoming personalities, and their really sweet story together, I’m so beyond excited to celebrate their upcoming wedding this summer!!

Their engagement session is one I’ll never forget, and I’m so pumped to be sharing it! I’ve always loved downtown Frederick, and getting to hang out photographing Amy & Ethan everywhere from the rolling hills to around the canal, we had quite the adventure and I loved every minute!!
