Engagements

Abigail & Gary | A Southern Maryland Engagement Session

Buckle up kids, because I’ve got a stunner of an engagement session to share with you today! There’s a chance Abigail and Gary missed their calling as models, because they were total naturals in front of the camera. If their engagement session is any indication, their wedding is going to be a breeze!

The sun was shining and the temperature was perfect when I met Abigail and Gary at Jefferson Patterson Park. They had a little stowaway in tow, too – their adorable son, Brooks, joined us for a bit so that we could create a few family portraits! Brooks just turned one this month and is at maximum cuteness level. With dad’s features and mom’s complexion, he’s the perfect combination of his parents!

Both Abigail and Gary went to the University of Maryland (go Terps!), but they actually met here in SOMD. They’re planning a September wedding at the Port Tobacco Courthouse with a warm aesthetic, so the tall grasses of Jefferson Patterson Park made for the perfect location for their engagement session.

Speaking of September – it’ll be here before we know it! I cannot wait to see the wedding plans come to life. But for now, please enjoy my favorites from their engagement session! Congrats, Abigail and Gary (and Brooks)!
