Annie and Sean were married on the gorgeous white beaches of Naples, Florida. This was, by far, the most special wedding that I have ever had the honor of photographing. You see, Annie is one of my oldest and dearest friends. I spent many summers riding bikes with her, jumping on pogo sticks, throwing water balloons, and sharing candy from Grandma and Grandpa Larson on her driveway. She was my closest cousin in age, separated only by 6 months and 30 miles. We would plead with our parents every chance that we had to spend the night at one or the others’ house.  She knew many of my deepest secrets and I spent most of my childhood looking up to her.

When Annie and Sean asked me to be a part of their day, I was completely honored. They spent the entire day caring for everyone around them, and wanting everyone to feel special. I can only hope that I can return the favor, and make THEM feel as special as they made everyone else feel.

Annie and Sean, I love you. I wish you nothing but all of the happiness in the world. Truly.
