I was really excited for Eric and Abby's engagement session as we met to do their photos on Abby's family's property, and I always think it's so special to take photos in a spot that's significant to the couple!

Plus, Eric drove us for location to location on a gator which was pretty fun and covered quite in a bit of property in no time at all. We had some beautiful early fall color...
