Anita and Mike, and their little girl, Gabriella, these three couldn’t be more perfect together. Quick to laugh, play, and love, I was extremely touched with how they interacted with each other when we photographed their engagement session. There’s so much happiness among them, and what could be better than spending an evening capturing that?
We will be photographing their wedding in a few weeks, and are very much looking forward to sharing the next part of their story.
Until then, here are a few frames from the park. -anya
