Romantic Red Anniversary Session

From Abbey…

Katie and Eric are both so joyful! Their energy is so light and fresh. I couldn’t help but love their affection and good vibes. They wanted a session to celebrate their first wedding anniversary and I was overjoyed they allowed me the opportunity to capture this season in their marriage. We wanted to focus on the love between them. I absolutely love the contrast of Katie’s striking red dress against the greenery. Katie is radiant and has the most beautiful eyes, they’re even more captivating in person! She posed effortlessly with gentle instruction. The dress she chose to wear showcased her collegiate field hockey figure she trained most of her life to attain, and it shows! Her entire ensemble left me speechless and in photographer Heaven! Eric is a jokester and was surprised to find he was as photogenic as I told him he was! He has a kind smile with the sweetest dimples! This couple is just a dream. They laughed and played and just allowed me to be present for these sweet moments.

From the couple…

We had both recently graduated college and in really great places in our lives when we met. Neither one of us was necessarily looking for a relationship. Katie, who is from Ohio, had recently moved to Dayton for a new job and Eric was stationed there. One day after work, we both decided to go to our favorite bar for happy hour. Katie locked eyes with Eric, went over and struck up a conversation and the rest is history. Eric was adorable and kind of nervous but his boyish charm snuck right into Katie’s heart. Things moved quickly from there! We moved in together and Katie got her first glimpse of what it would be like to live as a military wife when Eric deployed. We made it through and after almost 3 years of dating, we were married!

Our first year of marriage has been a whirlwind. Katie quit her dream job and moved across the world to live with her new husband in Germany. While traveling the world is obviously amazing, it was an adjustment having to go through so many changes all at once. Though we’ve had our trials, marriage is everything we hoped it would be. Our love has only grown and we know with time it will only become deeper. We work every day to continuously show the love we have in our hearts to one another.

Our anniversary session truly captures our fun-loving relationship! Katie could gush for hours about how beautiful that dress made her feel and we loved the florals Abbey made for us! It was also so wonderful to get a chance to let Eric change into one of his favorite shirts and let loose. Abbey was able to perfectly capture our personalities. So grateful for these memories!
