At the peak of last October’s glorious fall colors, I met up with Annie and Ryan at Raccoon Creek State Park. I have photographed many engagement sessions at this particular park over the years but Annie and Ryan were the first couple to bring a canoe with them.

We saved the canoe photos until near the end of their session but they definitely are some of my favorite engagement session images I’ve taken. They are so romantic and remind me of something straight out of a Disney movie.

Annie and Ryan met several years ago when Annie was a missionary for NET and assigned to Ryan’s diocese. A few years later they both were students at Franciscan and slowly God drew them together. Now they are planning their wedding and preparing to spend the rest of their lives together!

Their engagement session was filled with lots of laughter and joy and I am looking forward to sharing in more laughter and joy at their wedding this summer!

Xoxo,
