When Katie first emailed me a few weeks ago, I knew right away we would be a perfect fit because her email was just filled with exclamation points and excitement!! But we also knew things were meant to be when Katie told me when she started dating Ryan: October 23, 2004 – which was exactly one week after Justin and I started dating! I just love that! Katie and Ryan met in high school and have been together ever since – through high school, college, and dental school. And now, these two are planning their fall wedding – and they couldn’t be more excited!
Ryan helps out at a gorgeous farm in New Windsor, Maryland, on the weekends, and Katie and Ryan decided they wanted to have their engagement session at this beautiful place that is meaningful to the two of them. The farm was INCREDIBLE and it was so fun exploring this space with Katie and Ryan in their pickup truck! There were over 500 acres of space (I know!!), and these two went the week prior to check out locations they wanted to stop at (seriously – we could spend all weekend here and still have more beautiful spots to take portraits in!). Katie and Ryan are such sweet, kind-hearted people, and they both give off such positive, loving energies. It was a really fun evening, and I am so excited to photograph their wedding and celebrate with these two this fall!! Congratulations, Katie and Ryan!
These two are so photogenic!!
I loved meeting these sweet cows! They were all so curious about my cameras!
Katie’s ring is INCREDIBLE!! Also, I couldn’t believe all the beautiful variety we had for ring portraits in the middle of a field! There were so many pretty plants and rocks that made such lovely backdrops for Katie’s ring :)
Katie, that smile!! Gorgeous!
So sweet!!
They are just so adorable together!!
I am so glad we stopped by this little pond right before the sun set :)
Katie totally impressed me by just jumping into the bed of their truck as we rode up and down the hills at this beautiful farm – so I had to get a picture of these two with the truck! :)
We watched the sun set from on top of this hill; it was beautiful!
I LOVE this picture of these two!!
I can’t wait for your wedding, Katie and Ryan!!
