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.

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,

Sarah & Steven's Engagement Session

Sarah & Steven are a fun & absolutely wonderful couple! After a long day of Trash the Dress sessions, they met me at Chesapeake Beach for their engagement shoot. It's easy to see why Steven absolutely adores Sarah - her laugh could light up a room and she is absolutely beautiful! Steven also has a fun sense of humor & informed me that he (& his groomsmen) are going to be rocking Chuck Taylors at the wedding! Love it!

The gorgeous ring!

Sarah & Steven - I had an amazing time at your engagement session & can't wait to photograph your beautiful wedding in October! I'm looking forward to all of the details - from the Chucks to your flowers - and every moment in between! Thank you for keeping me so enthusiastic after a long day in the sun! :)

All the best,

Amy & Ryan's Engagement Session

Amy and Ryan are an absolutely wonderful couple getting married next April! We spent the morning shooting their engagement session in Baltimore & had a lot of fun! It was a little muggy, but we found ways to beat the heat and have a fantastic session! They'll be joining me for round two tomorrow at the beach! :) I can't wait! Here's a sneak peek from what we shot today!

Loved her ring!

Right when they went to jump, a dozen pigeons took off behind them.

It's Baltimore city at its best! :) Haha!

I mentioned to Amy & Ryan how it would be fun to find a newspaper that said Baltimore on it for a unique ring shot that captured the essence of their lives in the city. We never imagined that we would find one with an entire front page dedicated to love! :)

A huge thank you to Amy & Ryan for introducing me to Baltimore from a local's eyes. :) I had an amazing time & can't wait to shoot your wedding next spring!

All the best,

Natalie Franke
