Lyndsay and Mak | Annapolis Engagement

Ohhh, where do I begin? I don't know if I've ever loved sooo many pictures from one shoot, so it was so hard for me to choose which pictures to use. These are just a few of the shots I love.

Ok, so back to what I was saying...Yes, I complained (a lot) about the winter weather, and I certainly got my wish- beautiful weather, and awesome people to take pictures of. I couldn't have asked for a prettier day in Annapolis on Saturday, and I couldn't have asked for cooler people to work with. What an awesome way to start Spring sessions!

Meet Lyndsay and Mak- they're getting married in Rochester on June 19th and I am toootally jealous of their photographer, friends and family that are attending their wedding because they are going to witness two amazing people start the rest of their lives together. Lyndsay is a 2nd grade teacher and Mak is in his last year at the Naval Academy and they are just perfect together. Mak is constantly cracking jokes and Lyndsay is constantly smiling. They met eachother three years ago and have been together ever since- from the moment they began talking at a bar, to when Mak told Lyndsay he loved her on campus grounds (the shot below is them on the bench where he told her!), to when he proposed to her with his grandmother's ring. Just thinking of these two makes me smile- they were just such a pleasure to work with.

Not only were they more than willing to put up with me running around, promising that we'd only take a feeew more shots ("actually, let's get a picture here...and here...and here..." was my motto that day), making them carry around a random globe, and putting up with Melissa (my handy-dandy bag holder/assistant/awesome friend) and I making silly jokes all day, but they did this for THREE hours. Once I started taking pictures of these two, I just couldn't stop! How could I? They just radiated happiness. I'm pretty sure Mak told Lyndsay he loved her at least ten times (especially after he took countless pictures with random tweens and parents on campus tours. For goodness sake, he was like a celebrity!) and Lyndsay would just look up at him and smile contently. It all just felt so right. :)









Lyndsay, you are gorgeous! Look at those eyes!










I couldn't decide which of the next two pictures to post because I love them both, so of course I just posted both. ;)









Those rebels...





















This next picture is one of my favorites from the shoot- I just looove it! What an AWESOME building!













Another favorite- this picture was taken right after Mak got pulled away for some pictures with some giggling tweens (and he toootally loved the attention haha).



This next shot was taken straight out of the camera. Love it.





I didn't include all of Mak's "fan" shots (there are too many!), so I had to include one of "perfected" Blue Steel shots. He must practice that look a lot... :)





Ok, now time for an outfit change...





Sheesh, they even look awesome when they're just walking down the street!



Now introducing the true star of this shoot- the amaaazing vintage globe. We carried that sucker all around town, got some strange looks, even some funny comments, but we sure as heck used it to get some awesome shots.









Seriously, does this girl take any bad shots?!





Goin' all GQ on us...



And what's a photoshoot without a really sweet alley?









I couldn't choose my favorites from the next series of pictures, so I just put in a bunch. These two are just so natural in front of the camera.











Lyndsay was a gymnast for 12 years, so she suggested doing a cartwheel. At first I thought she was kidding, but they did their thing and were even in synch while doing it. Sheesh!

So what will this oh-so-adorable couple do once Mak graduates in May? Well, first get married (duh!) and then move to Quanico where Mak will train to be a Marine. Lyndsay and Mak- thank you so much for giving me this opportunity. Both of you live to serve others, and you both deserve every bit of happiness that your future brings. I had such a wonderful time and I wish the best to both of you. :)
