The story of Jae & Bella

Spending the day with Jae and Bella during their 7-hour engagement session in Annapolis, Maryland felt less like a photoshoot and more like quietly walking alongside them as their story unfolded. We began in Annapolis Old Town, where the iconic red brick streets and historic architecture created a colorful and vibrant backdrop for their engagement portraits, full of warmth, movement, and joy.

At Quiet Waters Park, Bella changed into a flowing bridal-inspired dress, and Jae arrived with his father’s dream car — a detail filled with meaning and intention. Photographing this part of the day felt especially intimate, a gentle glimpse into the layers of love, family, and history that surround them.

To close the day, we headed to the beach at Beverly Triton Nature Park, where Jae surprised Bella with a romantic beach proposal near Annapolis. With the quiet shoreline, soft ocean breeze, and golden light around us, it was an honor to witness and document such an emotional, unforgettable moment — a perfect ending to a timeless Annapolis engagement session.
