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 RobinsonUniversity_of_Maryland_Engagement_Portraits02We 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.
