I have asked a good friend of mine if he would take some engagement photos of Chris and I. Thanks Russell!! We have been engaged for two years now, but I think I might want to use them for Save-the-dates and to display at our wedding reception. Plus, they’re just nice to have.
So the shoot is scheduled for Sunday, November 9th, which gives me less than two weeks to decide on a spot. Hopefully it won’t be as cold and windy as today!
I really like the urban shots with brightly painted concrete, fire escapes, bricks, but then I also love the fall foliage at different parks in the area. I am in love with the red bridge at Centennial Park..
Here are my ideas for locations and some photos i’ve found of them:
If you have any other ideas that you think we might like, send them my way!

I just snagged some complimentary tickets for a Photography Showcase for The Pros. They are one of the vendors I found from the Bridel Expo I went to a couple of weeks ago. They have this amazing deal where you can get Photography, Videography, and a Disc Jockey for a little less than 2k! With a price like that, who knows if they’re any good… but you know me, always being thrifty when I can, so naturally this deal wasn’t something I could pass by without a little research. So I am dragging a friend along with me to check them out. Plus… we get free wine and cheese!
The event is November 18th, I’ll write about it afterward.

I have been MIA on here for a bit I know! I had some things going on that were keeping me busy. One being planning my trip to LA to see one of my best friends next week!
Anyway, I am soooo excited to announce that my wedding ceremony and reception will officially be at The National Aquarium in Baltimore next October!! I can’t express how excited I am. I did a ton of research and went through a bit of a snag along the way but now it’s set! This was mine and Chris’s #1 choice so we are ecstatic.
I had thought that the catering company (the aquarium works with them exclusively) was going to be too expensive, and then once I started talking with them, it didn’t go very well. It’s a bit of a long story, and I wrote about my troubles in a previous post. Anyway the Vice President of the company contacted me, and assured me of their services and was super helpful. It all worked out pretty well, and we were able to work something out.
Here are some images of the space:
