On Thursday I met up with Anna & Brandon at The Forks for their engagement session. It was a beautiful evening with a nice refreshing breeze - especially after having several really HOT days! Anna & Brandon are getting married next month and I can hardly wait for their big day! Anna and I worked together about 7 years ago and I was excited when she contacted me about possibly being their wedding photographer. Back when I worked with Anna I remember her saying they were JUST friends and she didn’t want to date this guy…. look at how time changes things - they’re getting MARRIED!! :) :) I’m so happy for you and I look forward to capturing your special day!! :)
