I absolutely love engagement sessions – in fact, they’re probably the type of session that brings me the most joy. Why? Because they’re raw. They offer couples an opportunity to truly be themselves, away from the pressure/overwhelm that something like a wedding can present (now don’t get me wrong, I’m obsessed with weddings…but let’s not pretend like they’re the most peaceful of productions).
This past fall, I got to live out that joy with Claire and Lue, a couple I have come to love more than Meredith & Derek from Grey’s Anatomy (…WHOA ). Their connection is nothing short of inspirational. Here’s a little bit about their love story:
We met on NYE in 2017 in Annapolis and had a very High School Musical moment of bumping in to one another, and really hitting it off! We were long distance for the first year and a half, and then I moved up to Baltimore to continue our relationship and be closer to my family. Since then we have gotten a dog (Cooper), bought a house, and are now obviously getting married!
