Laura and Ryan came to downtown Frederick for their engagement session on the most perfect golden hour evening, and we had an absolute blast from start to finish. Carroll Creek, Baker Park, warm late-day sunshine, and two wonderful people? Sign me up. We laughed the entire time (I mean take a look at these images, OBVIOUSLY it was so fun!).

These two are getting married at Springfield Manor Winery in Thurmont, Maryland this fall, and if this session is any indication of what wedding day is going to look like, I am already excited. Springfield Manor is one of my favorite venues and I can’t wait to share the next incredible part of their story.

Downtown Frederick is one of my favorite places to shoot engagement sessions! The light along Carroll Creek at golden hour is something special, and Baker Park never disappoints. If you are newly engaged and looking for a Frederick, Maryland wedding and engagement photographer, I would love to hear from you. Check my availability here!
