Engagement Session: Jen and Brandon

What better way to mix up the holiday family sessions than with an engagement session!

The next time you see Jen and Brandon on this page, they'll look a lot warmer! I'll be shooting their wedding this coming August, and they opted for a wintery, holiday engagement shoot.

I found myself back at the Lakefront across from Columbia mall just before sunset. We got some stunning pictures by the water, and it was clear they didn't feel the chill even a bit.

We had a great time. I was surprised to discover halfway through the shoot that neither one of them had ever done a photo shoot of any kind. They were naturals!

My favorite part of engagement shoots is capturing genuine smiles and laughter and there was more than enough of that to go around.

After the sun set, we headed to historic Ellicott City to get some photos with some of the Christmas decorations. I had trouble deciding which location to use for my blog photo because I loved how they both turned out!

I'm really looking forward to their wedding day. I have a feeling it's going to be a fun one.
