Hand in hand, Jen and Blake leisurely stroll along the Annapolis City docks while Mark was off plotting a top secret romantic reconnaissance mission from a distance. Unassuming Jen had no idea that in an instant, her world would be changed forever!
“It was awesome pretending to photograph a boat and then stalk them down the pier,”, Mark recalls. “I’ll be honest, I teared up. It was awesome to be apart of this moment and I’m looking forward to being part of the next step. ”
After several moments of joyous outbursts of emotion, Jen said yes!
Many kisses were shared that day!
Blake designed the ring all by himself, which was strategically hid from Jen’s sight for a month prior to the proposal — a feat in and of itself! It’s a cushion cut diamond with a halo, which sparkles brightly from a distance!
Jen and Blake first met through mutual friends in DC in 2012. In addition to their love for each other, they also share a love of boating, wine bars, concerts, and crab cakes.

Gorgeous – like watching a beautiful love story. Love and congrats to you both.
