Romantic Baltimore Engagement Session with Cottagecore & Cotswolds Vibes
By Michelle Elyse Photography
There’s something truly magical about blending old-world charm with modern romance, and this engagement session Maryland outside of Baltimore was a perfect testament to that. Inspired by the ethereal beauty of the English countryside, this shoot embraced cottagecore aesthetics and the timeless allure of the Cotswolds. With lush gardens, and cozy vintage details, the session felt like a storybook romance come to life.
A Charming Baltimore Location
Nestled in one of Maryland’s historic districts, this location perfectly captured the quaint, pastoral vibe we were going for. With fields of blooms, and an old homestead, the setting had a European charm that made it feel as though we had stepped into a quaint Cotswold village. The golden hour light filtering through the trees only enhanced the dreaminess of the atmosphere.
Styling That Told Their Love Story
The couple’s outfits were a flawless complement to the session’s aesthetic. She wore a flowing white dress with puff sleeves and tied bow in the back, channeling cottagecore elegance, while he donned a full Ralph Lauren set in soft tones that harmonized perfectly with the natural backdrop. A vintage picnic basket, and a bouquet of flowers added sweet, whimsical touches to the look.
A Narrative of Romance
As an editorial wedding photographer, my goal is always to tell a story. For this session, it was about capturing their love in a way that felt genuine, timeless, and connected to their shared vision of a romantic, idyllic future. From quiet moments of laughter on the picnic blanket to playful twirls in a grassy meadow, every frame exuded joy and intimacy.

What I loved most about this engagement session was how it blended an editorial approach with heartfelt emotion. The Cotswolds-inspired details gave the shoot an elevated, curated feel, while the couple’s natural chemistry brought it all to life. Together, we created something that feels like it belongs in a storybook yet remains authentically them.
