I love these two! They have an infectiously fun vibe that makes you want to just forget about anything you have to do and just kick back with a cocktail or two and have some fun just being. But their care-free spirits don't mean they don't also get things done! Jordan just graduated with her Bachelors on top of working three jobs, and Brian works hard in commercial real estate, which is what my husband does and I know that line of work takes a lot of time and effort! I had so much fun with them and am excited to share my favorite images from their shoot and tell a bit about their story...
They met the Kent House Irish Pub in Towson, Maryland where Jordan's worked for over 6 years now. When they met and were getting to know each other, they discovered the fact that they had a love for rugby in common, and that Jordan's dad coached Brian. They may have even played rugby together as kids and din't even know it, and are still currently on the hunt for potentially proving photographs. :) Rugby is still a big part of their lives now. Fitz plays for the Baltimore Chesapeake RFC, and Jordan does the social media for his team. He's won Player's Choice and Most Valuable Back for two years in a row!
They've been dating for over 5 years as of 4/21 and plan to get married on 4/20 next year which is special to be married just about to the date that you officially became a couple. Together they have an adorable black lab Ruca who came along for the shoot of course. They love to bar hop around Baltimore, go to the beach, and eat seafood... but their favorite thing to do is laugh.
So once I arrived, they ordered cheese fries and a couple of Guinness draughts (they have such great taste) and I'm not gonna lie, it all looked pretty dang delish... especially the beer! They hung out together and shared a couple of whiskeys, loved on Ruca a bit, and snuggled in the cute little window seat...
Afterwards, we headed to Loch Raven reservoir to watch as the sun set. Ruca came for the first little bit, but then Fitz put her back in their truck so they could finish out the session together more intimately...
Ruca loved sniffing all of the smells and watching the geese so much that she jumped out of the back truck window (that they thought was closed, thank God she was safe because they'd parked across the road from where we were, but I'm sure she looked both ways before crossing......). We looked up and saw this black blur bolting back down to the water! Knowing she was safe, it was hilarious, but Fitz had to catch her and take her back up to the truck. She was so disappointed and just wanted to explore... lol!
We finished out the session with a little fun in the water, tossing the rugby ball around of course, which ironically said "Guinness" on it, and enjoyed the sun set...
The scene was literally out of the notebook movie or something... It was beautiful. I am so happy to photograph for these two and can't wait for April to come!! Their day is going to be so much fun and I can hardly stand to wait for it!
