Kristin & Timm have a love story that is almost too beautiful to be real! They met in England while Kristin was attending school overseas, and Timm was just a short distance from his home in Germany. And the proposal? Well, after dating long distance for over 2 years, Timm asked for Kristin’s hand in marriage on a beach in California. At sunrise. In a series of handwritten love notes. WITH a flag of England present to commemorate how they met. He planned the whole event with so much love and care, it almost brought me to happy tears when they told me the story during our first meeting :) The happy ending was that, of course, Kristin said ‘yes’!

I am incredibly excited for their wedding at Schlitz Audubon Nature Center next spring, and spending the afternoon photographing their ‘Pride and Prejudice’ inspired engagement session at Retzer Nature Center was just the cherry on top. I already can’t wait!!
