Baltimore Inner Harbor
A look back at the engagement session for Lauren & Ralph from Dave McIntosh Photographics, Baltimore wedding photography and videography.
Lauren and Ralph took advantage of a warm February afternoon for their engagement session. We started on Federal Hill and took photos at a few locations at the Baltimore Inner Harbor. We warmed up with a drink inside Barcocina’s at Fells Point, then ventured out for a few night shots. Spending time together at the engagement session was wonderful. I now know them better. I hope they enjoy some of these beautiful memories. They obviously enjoy each other’s company and we all enjoyed spending time together. Nicely done on the wardrobe.
About Federal Hill: Federal Hill is a picturesque area dating from the 18th century with a lively nightlife scene around its pubs, live music venues and pizza and burger spots. Trendy boutiques sell upscale fashion and decor, while Cross Street Market has stalls stocked with fresh produce and prepared foods. Federal Hill Park has views of the harbor, Downtown and the quirky American Visionary Art Museum, which showcases outsider art.
The neighborhood is named for the prominent hill that is easily viewed from the Inner Harbor area, to which the neighborhood forms the physical south boundary. The hillside is a lush green and serves as a community park. The neighborhood occupies the northwestern part of a peninsula that extends along two branches of the Patapsco River—the Northwest Branch (ending at the Inner Harbor) and the Middle Branch. This peninsula is generally referred to as the South Baltimore Peninsula, and includes the neighborhoods of Federal Hill, Locust Point, Riverside, South Baltimore, and Sharp-Leadenhall. While not physically a part of the peninsula, Otterbein is also included in the collection of neighborhoods which make up greater South Baltimore. Traditionally, Federal Hill was roughly triangular, bordered by Hanover Street to the west; Hughes Street, the harbor, and Key Highway to the north and east; and Cross Street to the south.
