Jason and Grace met online, and after a month of Skyping they met in person for their first date last December. There Jason asked Grace to be his girlfriend during a sunset picnic in the back of his pick-up truck. They ended the magical evening by looking at Christmas lights. Sounds pretty romantic, right?! Less than a year later they got engaged and now they can’t wait to be married in a few months.

I met Grace and Jason for the first time at their engagement session. Jason is from Tennessee and Grace was living in Virginia where she worked as a post-partum nurse, but they were in Frederick, MD for the weekend to visit family and nail down some wedding plans. I knew I was in for a treat when, before we started off, Jason asked if he could take a moment to pray for our time. That was a first for me and I loved it! So very thoughtful and what better way to start a photo session than that. With that I caught a glimpse of the kind of guy he is…Grace, I think you picked a winner! She clearly agrees. 🙂

We had a great time. The weather for late January was pretty perfect and while they protested that they were not natural in front of a camera, they fell into it like old pros. I felt like I was hanging out with old friends. As the sun fell and the light turned golden we got some beautiful shots that capture their personality together. They are such a sweet, fun-loving couple and I can’t wait for their wedding this summer!
