Downtown Frederick Winter Engagement | Madelyn + Riley

December 17, 2025

Well would you get a look at this incredibly glowy, gorgeous winter light we had for Maddie + Riley’s downtown Frederick engagement session!? Consider this my official campaign to make cold weather engagements a bigger thing in the wedding world. Sure, my fingers were moving a little slower on the camera buttons and we were chattering in between cozy poses but the light, the liiiiiiiight! She was golden from start to finish and it was worth every shivering second to make this magic come to life.

Maddie + Riley came all the way from North Carolina for their engagement session with me – I can’t wait to celebrate their wedding next year at Glen Ellen Farm in Ijamsville, MD!
