Alie and Dane | Engagement Session

Meet Alie and Dane, my May 22nd couple! I'm so so excited to be shooting their wedding in Maryland, because not only is it my first wedding of the season, but it's the first time I'll be shooting a wedding as the main photographer! I'm excited, nervous, anxious, hopeful, thrilled...yadda, yadda, yadda- I could just keep going on and on.

I was excited to meet this fun couple because I have been talking to Alie for a little while online and I could just tell that she was a blast. She automatically told me that she wasn't a bridezilla (phew!) and, to top it all off, some of her family is from the same town in Jersey that I'm from (whaaat up, Manalapan!). Alie is hysterical and seemed so comfortable right from the start of the meeting. This is where Dane comes in- even though we were talking about wedding stuff the whole time, he seemed totally fine with it. Plus, he couldn't stop smiling when we were taking pictures (even when I said to be serious haha). Dane just returned from his deployment in Haiti, and he was basically thrown right back into wedding planning. Seriously, what a trooper!

We decided to get a few pictures before we finished our meeting- we didn't know where to go, so the back of a parking lot just had to work haha! :)






Dane proposed with a ring made with diamonds from his grandmother's engagement ring. :)









These two just work perfectly together! We had already gotten enough "serious" pictures so I started to ask them if they were ever goofy- well, before I could even finish my sentence, they were tackling eachother.















Ok, I dare you to tell me that they're not a good looking couple! Sheesh





Did I mention that they were wearing the same shoes? hahah!















Right around when this shot was taken (and we were freezing, by the way), I saw an alley. For anybody that's worked with before, you know I looove to shoot in alleyways. So, naturally II started yelling, "Ohhhh, I LOVE Alleys!" I think I might've scared Alie a bit hahaha- whooops! :) Also, did I mention that I can sometimes be a bit awkward? haha :)



Alie and Dane, I can't wait to shoot your wedding in less than two months! Woo hoo! :)
