Kelsey & Michael | Tindeco Wharf Apartments | Baltimore Rainy Day Proposal Photographer

Michael called me about a week before he planned to propose to Kelsey.  He planned to propose to her in the beautiful courtyard of the Tindeco Wharf Apartments in Baltimore, Maryland. Kelsey’s mom was coming into town the day after the proposal so it was perfect.  Kelsey and Michael just moved to Baltimore a couple of months ago after dating long distance since college.  They have been together for five years so a proposal was probably expected sometime in the near future.  The night before the proposal, the two had gone out to a fancy dinner for a birthday celebration so Michael really threw her off by not proposing on that date.  One thing neither Michael nor I was counting on was the rain! It was supposed to rain the entire day Michael planned on proposing.  We talked the day of the marriage proposal and decided to move forward with the same plan, rain or shine.  I was actually sort of excited about the rain.  I mean how much more romantic can you get than a proposal in the rain?

I arrived at Tindeco and both Michael and I waited for Kelsey to arrive home from work. Unfortunately there was a wreck on the interstate so it took her a lot longer to get home from work than usual which just left more time for the anticipation to build.  I was waiting inside and it was definitely spitting rain but not pouring.  I was getting horrible cell phone reception so I really had to keep my eyes open and wait for them to come into the courtyard instead of watching for a text from Michael.  I finally saw them and slipped outside behind some stairs….basically crawling so I wouldn’t be seen.  Michael got down on one knee on a bridge with a fountain behind them.  Such a perfect spot.  And Kelsey said yes!!

We finished the evening off with a few portraits in the courtyard, in Tindeco, and outside by the water.  I absolutely love photographing in the rain and I think I could have photographed an entire engagement session inside Tindeco so we were set with fabulous places to go for photos.  So happy for these two and so happy I could be part of this special moment!
