Trying to nail down a time to do Annie and Westin’s engagement session was rather difficult because of their work schedules, but with less than a month before the wedding, we knew we needed to act fast. Annie chose the one night they had free, which happened to be her birthday. The day came and was beautiful!! Blue skies, 70 degrees, and lovely warm sunshine…that is until about 5:00 in the evening, when a hard downpour began. Annie began to worry and we prayed would let up, but it never did. We met, and decided that we HAD to shoot, and as completely against our norm as it was, we went indoors, at night, in the beautiful Hilton Cincinnati Netherlands Plaza. The images are much more moody than our normal work, but the look really exemplifies the personality of these two….they are fun, artsy, and eccentric.

Annie put on this beautiful black dress and turned it up a notch…

When we meet them later in the week to discuss wedding plans, we decided to snap a few photos as the sun was going down. We ended up loving them! :)

I have know these two for a long time. Wes is the little brother of one of my good friends from school and I have know him since he was around 6 or 7, and Annie is one of my sister’s best friends since Jr. High. I was so happy when they chose us to do their engagement and wedding photography because I know photography is really important to them. Annie and Westin, thanks for choosing us, and we can’t wait for the wedding in a few weeks!!

Last but not least, I had to put in a photo to really show their super fun personalities. :) As goofy as they are (or I should really say as goofy as Westin is), it is so evident how crazy they are about each other. That makes our job even more fun. Being able to capture the LOVE. :)
