A unique love story from half way across the world and I am so excited to share it with you all! These two are very special to my family and I. I have known Anna for as long as I have been with my husband Gary, over 7 years. However, my husband and Anna grew up together and are basically family. I have been so grateful to grow close to Anna and her family over the past years, and we really look forward to all that is ahead.

This engagement session is so dear to me. Anna and Eze are most often found playing with and raising their adorable son Felix, modeling on the runway, and running their family grocery store in Argentina. She moved there for her modeling career and met the love of her life, Eze. They share an unbreakable bond, a genuine friendship, and true dedication for one another. Their beauty shines always and their love shines to all they know. They are everything to each other and especially to their fun loving, adorable son, Felix.

Doing life from afar in Argentina is not easy. But when they get to travel north to spend time in Anna’s family home in Wisconsin, they fill it with family and friends time, and many memories. I have been blessed to be a part of many of these family celebrations and get togethers, and am even more honored to be sharing in such a special part of their love story.

It was one of the coldest days of winter, and I mean cold. Wind-chill was -20 and it took all we had to run outside and play in the snow for just a bit. It wasn’t long before we ran inside and cozied up in the best spot in their house for some more photos. That morning many family members and friends gathered to celebrate the bride-to-be and showered her with love and goodness. It was a beautiful day.

Soon we will be venturing south for a weeklong celebration on the beach in Florida. Anna and Eze’s family and closest friends will be traveling from all over– Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Argentina– to celebrate in their love story. Imagine a celebration fit for the beach– sand covered toes, beautiful flowing dresses, and family and friends surrounding, a true love story and the gorgeous Florida sunset. Channeling warm sunny thoughts right now…beach time here we come!
