Abby and Tom’s winter engagement session at Deep Creek Lake was a bit unique. From the very beginning of our planning days together, they wanted snow in their engagement pictures. Being that I live in the “Tundra of Maryland”, also known as Garrett County, I knew we could easily make that happen here. Little did I know we’d be trying to do a snowy engagement session during a less-than-usual year of snow.

So after some reschedules because of a lack of snow, I proposed the idea of Wisp Resort for our location. It wasn’t naturally snowing yet, but the Wisp was making some of their own…and their base area gave us exactly what we needed! 

Another unique factor about this session…it was just eight days before Natalie was born. 🙂 AND Abby and Tom are getting married tomorrow! All kinds of fun and unique things about this! ENJOY!

Abby’s red coat was a good choice! 

The mix of green from the tree and her red jacket give it a sense of Christmas time, right?? Hard to believe the Christmas season is almost here!

Despite the wind and very cold temperatures, Abby and Tom remained happy and excited. But I’m a nice photog…I didn’t make them stand outside for an hour straight! We snuck inside for a quick warm-up part way through…:)

I love this next series of Abby and Tom getting close in front of Wisp’s new waterfall feature…

Definitely a favorite!

It totally looked like a REAL, naturally-made winter wonderland, right?? Thank you, Wisp!

We did step away from the snow for some snow-less pictures, too. Again, the greenery from the trees made such a nice compliment to Abby’s red jacket!

I found myself not being able to resist a few more in the snow…

This is a favorite, too!

Thanks for braving the cold, Abby and Tom! At least it’s going to be much warmer and sunnier tomorrow on your wedding day!
