I was so excited to meet up with Emily and Brett for their engagement session at their wedding venue, The Elkridge Furnace Inn! I’ve known Emily since high school, so it felt like catching up with an old friend, and it was wonderful to finally get to know Brett before the wedding. We wandered through the beautiful grounds and gardens, taking gorgeous photos and, more importantly, cracking a ton of jokes! Their session was filled with genuine laughter, and it was clear their connection is built on fun and friendship. I can’t wait to celebrate with them!
The Elkridge Furnace Inn is steeped in history and offers a beautiful, rustic atmosphere that perfectly complemented Emily and Brett’s relaxed style. The winding paths and tucked-away garden spots offered great intimacy, while the historic stone buildings provided a timeless, textured background. I made sure to capture the essence of the venue, knowing these images will look beautiful alongside their wedding day photos, creating a cohesive story of their journey.
More than the stunning setting, what made this session special was simply spending time with these two. Seeing how well Brett meshes with my old friend Emily, how he can instantly make her laugh, and the deep comfort they share was truly heartwarming. Engagement sessions are invaluable for building this rapport, which translates into even more natural and candid wedding photos. Wishing these two all the happiness as they plan their wedding!
