[Engagement] Michelle & Bryan – Baltimore, MD

I don’t exactly remember the first time I met Michelle, but I do remember it occurring somewhere in the ballpark of almost 20 years ago. Yes, you read correctly. We’ve known each other for longer than Justin Bieber’s been alive :). Over the years, she’s been a classmate, neighbor, and friend – and she’s been hilariously awesome in all of those roles. When she first announced her engagement, I never threw my hat into the ring because I didn’t want to be “that” guy whom she hadn’t seen in 15 years and suddenly shows up at some opportune time hawking his services. But funny enough, my BFF from high school was kind enough to do it for me (unprompted, I swear!).

Fast forward to a few weeks later, we finally got a chance to meet Bryan and their adorable Bella. Michelle casually mentions to us that she’d like to incorporate the dog and Bryan’s bike into the shoot. Um…hello? OF COURSE! We spent our day exploring the usual spots in Fells Point and Patterson park, as well as a top secret fishing spot that was classified information (according to my dad).

Did I also mention that we’ll be partying with these folks for NYE?
