Kimberly and Michael presented me with a nice distraction from what ended up being the "Christmas of Newborns" that I went through in 2014. All-in-all, ZEP shot almost a dozen children (newborn and older) for the holidays this year, and sometimes it's just nice to have a little break with people who can actually speak your language!
Kimberly and Michael were looking for a fun, outdoor style shoot to use for the Christmas cards, so we went to one of my favorite spots for their session. The McKeldin Area of Patapsco Park offers some beautiful scenery, and some of these spots should look familiar from previous sessions.
These two were a lot of fun, and more photos from their session can be seen below.
The good news came just a few months ago: My Brother-in-Law Mike finally (as I'm sure his fiancee would agree) had finally popped the question to his long-time girlfriend, Jessica. As Jessica had been planning her "dream wedding" for some time, there was no question as to her answer.
Heather and Tom were a really fun couple to shoot! I could tell from the back-and-forth emails correspondence that I had been having with Heather that these two really had something special between them, and it really reflected in their photos. Whether it was spending time on Reddit, working hard, or texting each other from across the table, Heather and Tom have a happy, long future ahead of them.
Heather and Tom have also graced me with the pleasure of being able to shoot their wedding. Keep an eye out for that this coming October! For more photos, hit the jump!
Wine country makes an absolutely amazing backdrop for an engagement session, and this year's Autumn scenery changes only served to make it that much better. I've had the pleasure of knowing Chris for almost 25 years now, and I'm fairly certain I've never seen him happier than he is when he's with his fiance, Kristin. The two of them provided some amazing chemistry in front of the lens, and I feel really honored to have been given the chance to capture their engagement session. I wish them a long and happy marriage, and can't wait to see them as they grow old together.
The scenic hills and valleys of western Maryland played the part of the beautiful background in what might be one of my most favorite engagement sessions I've ever had the privilege of creating. Jake and Caroline were searching for the perfect scene for their session and, considering they're getting married at a vineyard, figured why not have their e-session in one as well! For those of you that might know me personally, you may remember Jake as one of the members of my groomsmen and a friend of mine for the last 5 years. Caroline, who is no doubt his better half, is probably the perfect woman to be marrying Jake. These two make a great couple and leave no doubt to any onlookers that they're going to be happy together for a long, long time. I wish them the best of luck and a long and prosperous marriage!

John and Jen were a lot of fun to shoot and are going to make a great couple! For the rest of their photos, head on over to my SmugMug page, and take a look at the slideshow!
I wanted to try a little something different for this post, so I've included integrated content from my photo sales site, hosted by SmugMug.
Dara and Daniel were a real treat to shoot. Daniel is a videographer and photographer from the D.C. Metro area, so it was a lot of fun to watch how a photographer reacts from the other side of the lens.
The weather was beautiful and the location that they picked for their engagement shoot was absolutely perfect for the photos. Daniel was a big fan of creating scenes in his work, so we definitely worked that into some of their photos. Both members of this happy couple were made to be in front of the camera, showing smiles that were designed for photography. It was really great to see a couple that looked as happy as there were, and there's no doubt that the happiness is going to be what keeps this couple together through many years of happy marriage.
