For an old town charming feel, consider the historic Ellicott City where MunaLuchi Bride couple, Jessica and Nnamdi took to for their cozy e-session leading up to their warm summer wedding. Crossing local shops, galleries, and cafes, this is the ultimate cozy spot for your e-session. Best of all, you can wine and dine after your photographer takes the final click.

For a more urban feel to your e-session, consider stopping by Graffiti Alley like MunaLuchi Bride couple, Carolyn and Donte who started their engagement session in Baltimore and ended up in Washington D.C.! While your e-session may not take you on a road trip, you can travel through the imaginations of a number of artists and keep the art that speaks to you the most close with a snap.

Looking to symbolically represent boarding a new adventure with your spouse and gearing up to take flight for the most exciting chapter of your life? Perhaps the College Park Airport on a perfect clear blue sky day is the destination for you and your husband-to-be. It was for Lillian and Timothy!

Whether day or night, the Harbor is the perfect place for a romantic, picturesque e-session as you’re filled with the excitement and energy of the whole city all around you. Jessica and Brandon had the time of their lives on the Harbor, ahead of their June wedding. Get your glass of wine ready to relax on one fine day at the harbor.

5. American Visionary Arts Museum
For the artistic couple or the bride-to-be and groom-to-be looking for a touch of whimsy, consider the American Visionary Arts Museum which MunaLuchi Bride couple, Brandey and Marcus stopped at on their exciting day out leading up to their fall wedding. Who knows, you might find some inspiration in the museum for your big day!
