This is my cousin Annie.  She is truly one of my most favorite human beings on this planet!  She is amazing!  She is so beautiful.  However, it is her beauty on the inside that truly makes her shine in this world.  Annie loves Jesus, people, and laughing!  Annie went Indiana Wesleyan University to become a nurse (not a surprise since her true heart’s desire is to help others).  Annie also played soccer while at IWU.  Enter Seth…  A handsome, caring and fun-loving soccer player that also attended IWU!  The girls soccer team and guys soccer team were all good friends and hung out all the time.  Annie and Seth got to know each other, became great friends and started dating.  I’ll never forget sitting on the beach with Annie when she told me that she had met the man she was going to marry!  And she was right!  The first time I met Seth, I knew he was perfect for her!  Seth jumped right in to the chaos of my crazy, little family.  He played with Parker, Finn and Evie for hours on the beach and they absolutely fell in love with him.

I was so honored when Annie asked if I could take their wedding photos.  One of the things that I love about photographing weddings is that I get to be with the bride and groom for the majority of the day – sometimes even more than the parents!  So, knowing that I could be with Annie on her big day made my heart so happy.

But I’m getting ahead of myself.  Before their wedding, we went out to do their engagement session.  Annie and Seth live in Michigan, so our backdrop was gorgeous!  I really wish Indianapolis had a beach and a huge lake.  I had such a good time with these two and wanted to share some of their images with you.  Enjoy!  And get excited –  I’ll be blogging their beach wedding very soon.  🙂
