Ashley & Erich's Engagement Session

Ashley and Erich are absolutely meant to be a couple. They fit together perfectly, as if they were born soulmates and spent their lives destined to find one another. Erich knows exactly how to make Ashley laugh and the way the look at one another is electric! I can't wait to shoot their wedding this October in Washington, D.C. -- It's going to be fantastic! We did their e-session at Sandy Point State Park and did our best to avoid the overwhelming crowds of beach goers that swarmed the entire complex. Check it out!






Isn't she gorgeous! I just loved this shot.
AE-8st


I love a couple that doesn't think twice about doing something crazy. Lets chase sea gulls.





I had a great time shooting this e-session. Even after puncturing my knee in an attempt to get the "perfect shot" -- I wouldn't have changed a thing about this session! I can't wait to shoot your wedding in October! :)

All the best,
Natalie Franke

Katie & Steven

Katie and Steven are one of those couples that you immediately love spending time with! Steven is the technical wizard when it comes to computers and Katie has a creative passion for scrap-booking. They fit together like two peas in a pod. :) Our session was split between my favorite abandoned field & a beach overlooking the Chesapeake Bay. We lucked out with gorgeous blue skies and plenty of sunshine! Here are a few shots from their session.




Love at Sunset

I loved this shot because it really captured their personalities. It was one of those unposed moments that make you smile! :)


There is something romantic about a tree growing & thriving on a beach.. inches away from the surf.



Thank you to Katie and Steven for being so wonderful! Be sure to check out Steven's WEBSITE Katie's fabulous BLOG. I also want to thank John from Eye on Annapolis for sending out a tweet supporting me that lead this wonderful couple my way! Eye on Annapolis is an incredible website that serves as a watchdog & support system for the community! Technology is such an amazing thing!

All the best,
Natalie Franke
