Kimmye + Matt, a ThorpeWood Mountain Engagement

Brooke Tyson Photography

Kimmye and Matt met back in high school, and now this sweet couple is planning their July 2017 wedding!  I’ve known Kimmye since middle school, so it was SO wonderful to get to know her family at her engagement session – and I am so excited to celebrate Kimmye and Matt’s wedding! Kimmye and I rode the same bus to Lime Kiln Middle – and we had science together (Kimmye was so much better at science than I was!). I’m pretty sure Kimmye introduced the hoodie trend to Lime Kiln, and I desperately wanted one too! Of course, all of my sweatshirts were these awful navy Hanes things with elastic around the bottom and the sleeves! haha. Kimmye and I went to separate high schools, but we have stayed in touch over Facebook, and I was so happy for these two when they announced that they were having a baby – Gavin! Now Gavin is two years old and he is such a SWEET little boy. He was so happy and excited to explore Thorpewood, and he had such a blast hanging out with his Uncle Bobby and Aunt Jess who came along to keep Gavin company (and so much more – hold rings, fetch blankets, manage the stash of fruit snacks, jangle keys to get Gavin’s attention, and more! haha). I was also so surprised by how bright Gavin was; Gavin was so aware of what everything was, asking questions, pick various flowers and commenting on the colors, and worrying about his parents were they went too far away! He didn’t even have a single meltdown either during the entire session – which is pretty incredible! He is such a sweet boy, and it is clear he is so, so loved by Kimmye and Matt. And these two are so exited for this next step in their life – marriage! After so many years together and so many experiences, Kimmye and Matt can’t wait for their July wedding at ThorpeWood next year. And I can’t wait to celebrate with these two!

For their engagement session, Kimmye and Matt chose to use their beautiful wedding venue, ThorpeWood, as the backdrop because it is huge and they knew we wouldn’t be able to explore everything on the wedding day (and there are SO many beautiful spaces we didn’t even photograph for their session because we are saving those for their wedding day! I can’t wait!). ThorpeWood is absolutely stunning; set in Thurmont, Maryland and up a long, winding road, ThorpeWood is a 155 acre paradise with streams, a historic stone bridge, an arboretum, a horse stable, a gorgeous lodge, a stunning pond, beautiful stone walls, and more. We could have photographed here all evening!  Enjoy some of my favorites from Kimmye and Matt’s engagement session.  I can’t wait for your big day, Kimmye and Matt!!
