I first spoke with Rachel back in 2018. She gushed all about her fiancee, Brady, and their wedding, and it warmed my heart. As a military spouse, I get SO excited to see fellow military couples tying the knot. It’s a very special bond we all share, even when we don’t even know each other. I’m excited to be sharing their special day with them! For their engagement session, Rachel and Brady knew they had to use the very spot they got engaged. So not only is their Ocean City beach engagement session beautiful, it holds a very special meaning to them.

Brady had an elaborate setup along the Ocean City pier, complete with family hiding out to witness the event. Rachel even admitted she didn’t realize what was going on, but when she saw the handmade signs lining the pier, she knew it was something special. And the rest is history! They’ll be saying their vows this October, and I will definitely cry.

I really didn’t have to tell them to do much. A couple fun poses here and there, but the smiles and laughter are allllll them. We met at sunrise for their Ocean City beach engagement session, which was the perfect time of day for this. The way Brady looks at Rachel is full of love and adoration, and he keeps her laughing the entire time they are together. I’m honored to know them and cannot wait for their beautiful fall wedding in Snow Hill later this year. Congratulations guys!!

We had a pit stop at Thrasher’s for their delicious fries. Because if you go Ocean City and don’t get Thrasher’s, what’re you doing?!

Such a gorgeous couple!
