Collin + Leah

Ellicott City, Maryland
July 6, 2018

Y'all. I don't even know where to begin with this one. I just knew the day I first met with Collin and Leah that we were a really really great fit. They're both so sweet and easy-going, and that became even more obvious during their session.

 

I was particularly stoked about this one because of the location, Patapsco Valley State Park, since it's where Dan and I went on our first date (sooo it was all the sentimental memories for me and I'm sappy, it's fine).

Leah mentioned during the shoot that one of the songs they're considering for their first dance is "Like Real People Do," by Hozier. That song is truly one of my all time favorites so I may or may not have listened to it on repeat to get inspired while editing their session. Y'all should definitely give it a listen if you haven't already!

 

They also practiced their first dance for me and I think that needs to be a new right of passage for engagement sessions because it's a total win-win. Y'all get in some practice and it looks REAL cute in the pictures.

But honestly, the two of them were complete naturals in front of the camera and such a joy to be around, and I'm just thrilled that I got to third wheel them for the morning. Nothing makes me happier than getting to capture two people deeply in love.

Collin and Leah, thank you so much for trusting me to tell you story. I couldn't be more excited for your wedding next June!

We got a little bit of rain, but honestly, I really wanted to use that umbrella so I'm not even mad.
