Ally & Brendan | Romantic Summer Engagement, Baltimore MD

September 29, 2016 · Leave a Comment

During our first meeting with Ally & Brendan, I felt myself instantly adoring them and their story and I was over the moon excited when they said they wanted to book me! It didn’t take them long to realize that they were the one for each other, and it certainly doesn’t take long to see it when you’re with them. It’s easy to feel the deep connection they have between each other, and the excitement they have for their future adventures together. Brendan & Ally had just returned from a trip out to California when we met up for their engagement session, since Adam & I had just returned from our west coast road trip a few weeks earlier, we joked about how fun it would be to have gotten to take their photos there. Well we were lucky enough to get the next best thing, with the dreamiest light during their whole session that had me feeling like the west coast was sharing a little love with us too! I’m so excited for Ally & Brendan, and I can’t help but smile looking at how much love and support is between them. I absolutely can’t wait to see them again this fall for their wedding!! Congratulations you two!!
