Jonathan and Kathryn- University of Maryland Engagement Portraits

“I’m writing this in part to tell you that if you ever wonder what you’ve done in your life, and everyone does wonder sooner or later, you have been God’s grace to me…”
– Marilynne RobinsonWe roamed around the University of Maryland as they have done so many times before. I heard stories of dates to Rita’s for italian ice and of walking through the fountain (because you just have to at some point!) I heard the story of Jon waiting eagerly and patiently to ask Kathryn to officially be his girlfriend, while Kathryn talked and talked as they lapped the campus. Eventually he did get to ask her that very important question, and now five years later we walked those same paths during their engagement session! I love when we’re able to shoot in a place that really has a special meaning to the couple, and this campus definitely holds a place in both of their hearts. of course they wanted to make sure that Testudo made an appearance in their session… done and done! :) it was raining cherry blossoms! :)make a wish!… oooor not! their little dandelion was quite determined to stay together ;) this gate was donated by the class of 1910 and is one of Kathryn’s favorite spots on campus!good gosh i could have photographed you two alllllll day! thanks for making my job so darn easy :) one of my favorites for sure!Jon’s only request was a photograph of her jumping on his back, and i was more than happy to oblige! I can’t WAIT for your wedding this August!! thanks again for showing me all around your favorite place! :) xoxo!
