What a treasure my newly engaged couples are! I meet them at nearly the beginning of their engagement and they are doting, kind and loving to each other. Their excitement to marry their best friend is completely tangible, and up to this point, their engagement is one of their biggest life milestones. I never tire of seeing this stage in a couple’s relationship.

Doug and Shannon are no exception. Drop dead gorgeous and seriously handsome, these two are such a great fit for each other. They were absolute troopers, too… it was SO COLD that day at Greenwell State Park, but they still managed to look awesome! I am so excited to be able to photograph their wedding in Western Maryland next fall! Congratulations Shannon & Doug!
