Jordan + Cheyna || Engagement || Great Falls Park

Creative engagement Photographer

Jordan and Cheyna were best friends in college. Cheyna told him that she liked him after he had been crushing on her for two years. But then Jordan responded that the chances for them actually being together according to him at that moment were 2/10. Cheyna is now really laughing about it. ;) A few years later the couple ended up both playing professional sports on teams very close to each other (D.C. and Philadelphia) so they reconnected and it’s been fireworks since then!  

This couple is super cool and extraordinary and they are awesome stars, believe me! They both have their personal Wikipedia pages, imagine that! You can check it out here: Jordan Matthews and Cheyna Matthews.

Chris + Erin || Engagement || Baltimore MD

Engagement Photographer

All the couples I meet share their stories with me and it’s always interesting to get to know them a bit more. I feel inspired to find out their personalities and that truly helps during each photo session as well.

Chris and Erin met on Erin’s birthday a little over 3 years ago at her favorite sushi restaurant. Erin is a nurse and as she’ve said her work is very intense. According to Erin, sometimes she’s more on serious side but Chris brings out the fun in her. They balance each other very well and definitely enjoy each other's company more than anyone else's.
Erin spoke with love and appreciation while talking about Chris. She said that he is a super lighthearted, relaxed guy who loves running and has been in the Navy for 13 years.
This couple just love to have fun and laugh!:) Both of them definitely know how to live life with an easy going attitude towards it.
Erin tried warning me that Chris will probably make at least 20 “bad” jokes during the course of the photo shoot but I’d say that he has a great sense of humor for sure!;) So the warning was truly unnecessary:)

I’ve shot their wedding session later on. Can’t wait to share these pictures too!

Matthew + Michelle || Wedding || Church & Company Baltimore

Documentary Wedding Photographer

Every time I meet a new couple I‘m always interested in their story as it‘s each time unique and inspiring. This full of joy couple – Matthew and Michelle – met at a college party and Matt (according to Michelle) was the party animal that no one could take their eyes off. The couple still has the pictures from that night of Michelle holding her stomach from laughing so hard because of him.

As the couple remembers Facebook was only 3 years old back then. It was an easy way to connect and of course, also check out pictures from the latest party.

Michelle said that she finds it so interesting that there is a picture which they have from that party that says: „IT‘S OFFICIAL...I love Lambie“ (Lambie is Matthew's surname). Even though they had hardly known each other for just 24 hours. As the bride later on said – she didn't think she believed in love at first sight until she saw that comment 5 years into their relationship. Kind of a magical story, right?

As they both agree – their favorite thing to do together is a laugh! Whether it's in the good times or the bad, these two always find a way to make each other crack up. The couple agrees that they have rather different personalities, as Michelle is very free-spirited and bold, while Matt is quieter and reserved. This surface level dichotomy actually brings them both together as their personalities according to them balance them out. As a couple, they are goofy, weird, athletic, loving and overall grounded. Although many see them as total opposites as people say opposites attract. And this is the case!

I was really joyful to take the pictures of their wedding day which was a huge double occasion as it also was a New Year’s Eve!

My work is a pleasure and I’m always happy to help, just name the location and time and I’ll be there! Please contact me if you want to get a photo session for any occasion of yours. It can be taken in any place of the world, believe me, I will be glad to help you all the ways that I can!

Ali + Emma || Wedding || The Basin Harbor Resort & Boat Club | Vermont

Documentary Wedding Photographer

Sometimes true love can come to your life just like that. It might be just right in front of you. That‘s exactly what happened to Ali and Emma. They have always been within 100 feet of each other more than 90% of the time for the past year as they were work colleagues. Actually, Ali confessed that he was at first afraid to ask her out especially for that reason. But who can stand in the way of true bond? Exactly – „we have no problems just challenges“ attitude is the best! Congrats to Ali that he finally did that which led them to becoming a couple and now – a new family. I‘m grateful that I was in charge of capturing that moment on their biggest day.

Engagement story

This couple has a unique story behind the curtains how he popped out the question. This beautiful day happened to be on the 21st of August, 2017 during the solar eclipse. He surprised her with a trip to Atlanta, Georgia to see the eclipse. The proposal was a complete perfection and huge surprise. The couple were in the middle of Black Rock Mountain State Park where they hiked for a couple hours and by the time they got to the top of the mountain, they found a secluded area, set up a small picnic and got ready to watch the once in a lifetime eclipse. As day turned to night, hot to cold, birds chirping to silence, sun to moon, Hamid got on one knee and asked the question. Then the sun came back out!

Shenandoah National Park

As you already understand this couple really love the outdoors and frequently drive through skyline especially during the fall with all the changing colors. No surprise that they’ve chosen Shenandoah National Park for their engagement session. This beautiful park is located just 75 miles from the buzz of Washington, D.C. There are over 500 miles of hiking trails, numerous waterfalls and mountain summits. In this beautiful park in the U.S. state of Virginia you can find plenty of perfect locations and places to record your engagement story.
