It began with a meeting at youth group. “He doesn’t remember the first time we met,” she teased him. Her quiet spirit and reserved ways meant that she didn’t stick out at first, but when he finally did notice her there was no going back. As they grew in love they took the time to document every memory with photographs, love notes and mementos.

Fast forward to a couple of years later, to a frosty November night during their Thanksgiving break. Mike took Anna to the dock where their love grew during late night chats, making another memory with one very sparkly memento. A promise to love and provide for her, to be there no matter the circumstances

Mike and Anna, spending time with the two of you enriched my soul. Your love is inspiring, pure and true, and I’m an aodring fan of your relationship. Thank you for the opportunity to photograph you all!

We began at the dock…

SEE? Aren’t they adorable??

After we were thoroughly frozoen, we hopped in the car and drove into DC to shoot at the National Portrait Gallery, aka my absolute favorite indoor location.

I think this might be my favorite.

Anna you are SO PRETTY!

I lied. This one is my favorite.

Happy Monday!
