A Sparkly Havre De Grace, MD Engagement Session | Lauren + Brandon
Driving to Havre De Grace, MD, I had a sketchy memory of the place. I remembered it being a quaint and sweet little town. But honestly couldn’t picture the locations Lauren and Brandon had chosen for their session. My second photographer and I arrived a good hour early knowing we had to scout two separate locations and had no idea where we were going. We only had to call Lauren for assistance once… My initial reaction to our finale location at the Promenade? AMAZING! It was breathtaking, stunning, glorious, gorgeous…all the words. I was SO EXCITED for the session.
It was a good thing we arrived so early, as we pulled into the starting location, the park where Brandon proposed and they regularly go to walk their *adorable* Yorkie puppies, they were also arriving. I got to meet Brandon’s parents who came along to pup-sit so that they puppies could jump in the first set of photos and then go home where they are most comfortable.
The session was fabulous. Lauren literally sparkled from her dresses to her shoes and Brandon flashed his incredible smile with such ease. They were meant to be on camera. It was our first time meeting in person and I adored them just as I expected I would from our initial video meeting and email communications over the past few months.
We fought the full sunshine for the first few minutes until some magic clouds happened to blow in to make “the shots” I desperately wanted to get for them in the spot where Brandon proposed work. Equally as lucky, the sun and clouds cooperated for the rest of the session as well. The sun came out at the exact moments I wanted to use it and tucked behind large clouds when I needed it to do so in order to feature the water and expansive scene in the Bay. Perfection.
Lauren and Brandon, I have been anxiously waiting to share these amazing photos with the world. I hope you truly love them as much as I do. I am still gawking over them…and probably always will. Thank you for your kindness, hospitality, and laughter. I had the best time with you. I can’t wait to meet the rest of your families and for your wedding day this October at The Willows of Historic Strasburg. And for being so patient for this post, there is a surprise waiting for you in your inbox RIGHT NOW. Enjoy! Love you guys! XO - Megan
