How Their Story Began
Jordan & Karl met through a mutual friend at the Merchant Marine Academy in Long Island, NY. Karl was on the swim team and they shared a mutual friend.

Their love story started at a pizzeria and they have been together for 5+ years now. They both kind of knew as they were going into their senior year of college that they wanted to spend forever together.

The Proposal
Karl proposed to Jordan during a hike. It was a very hot and sweaty day. Originally Karl was going to propose in the Smoky Mountains, but COVID ruined those plans.

Karl made plans to go to a winery after the hike. They got to the end called Annapolis Rock and it had a really nice view. Jordan wanted to take a selfie, but Karl said to wait because of people being around them. He set up the camera, hit record and then asked her to marry him. Even though Jordan knew that Karl had the ring, she was still caught off guard.

The Wedding
Jordan and Karl will be bringing in both of their families from New Jersey and Maryland and will be getting married at the central location of Lakeview Farms in Dover, PA on September 17, 2022. They are really looking forward to relaxing on their special day and just enjoying it together.

We had such a fun session together! We got lost, the weather was perfect for our long hike, and Jordan & Karl are just adorable together and have awesome personalities. We also loved Elbert, the handsome guide dog in training.
