This year I have had the privilege of working alongside Anna for about 40 weddings this year. She has kept me sane, kept me hydrated and has been able to make and keep our job the most fun job in the world even when things go wrong or just not as planned. I really lucked out with this gal. The best part of it all is that we are friends. I am not sure how I am going to get through the winter without her, but we have some plans in the works where we will be up to no good and there will be likely mucho champagne involved. I was lucky enough to be able to snag some photos of her and Ben on a super chilly morning along the canal in Frederick. She gave me free reign to try new things, although with temps in the teens, I was not thinking enough to actually do new things, although I did shoot wide open a lot (you non photogs have no idea what that means, but just know it’s cool!) which I don’t do often and I am pleased with the look it creates with my 50mm lens.

Anna & Ben – thanks for being friends, for what you think is over sharing, for your kindness, and your silliness. You two are awesome and I am super happy to have you both in my life!!!
