It’s almost been a full year since we got together for Collin and Katie’s engagement session at Arrowhead State Park right outside Sioux Falls. That seems crazy! What’s even crazier is that we’re only months away from their October wedding!

I can’t wait to get together with these two again and celebrate their marriage. And, since Collin has been gone serving our country in Iraq (and he gets home super soon!), it’s likely they’re even more excited than I am. OK, they definitely are!

I love working with all couples, but couples with special love stories make me especially happy. I can’t imagine the sacrifice that goes into being a service man or woman…and honestly, the sacrifice that goes into being in a relationship with one, too! There’s nothing those folks can’t handle.

Collin and Katie have a really insane chemistry that I just loved photographing. They made my job super easy! No doubt we’re going to have even more fun on their wedding day. Here are a few more of my faves from their session!
