Engaged: Annie and Kai

Annie and Kai are two special people in our lives. You see, Annie and my husband are cousins! Annie and Kai have always been there for us (celebrating with us as we got married, as our kids celebrated their bdays and baptism, etc...). I was more than ecstatic when they announced their engagement earlier this year and was even more honored when they allowed me to photograph their engagement pictures. They are probably one of the most easy-going, laid back couple I know.

Love Story: Annie and Kai met six years ago while attending UC Santa Cruz. Fate brought them together in economy class. It was only a matter of time that Annie realized that Kai's persistent offering to study together was just his way of getting to know her! They became exclusive after two months and has been together ever since. Annie and Kai will be getting married in front of their family and friends next May 2010 at the beautiful Vizcaya in Sacramento, Ca. I can't wait!

These photos were taken earlier this May (yes, this post is LONG overdue).

The session started around Capitol Park.





I love how they were so giggly throughout the entire session.


I love their smiles!





Annie is a wonderful middle school teacher so I had to incorporate the school museum in Old Sac into the session.








Congratulations Annie and Kai! We're so happy for the both you. I know your lives will be filled with an abundance of laughter and beautiful memories.
