These photos have been a long time coming for Anna and Brandon, after being together for 9 whole years!! While most of their relationship has been long distance, they’re excited to finally start their lives together! They’ll be getting married at Wrightsville Manor in Wilmington, NC, so we decided to go ahead and warm up with coastal engagement photos on Wrightsville Beach.

We started in one of my favorite neighborhoods with spanish moss trees, and then were invited onto a neighbor’s dock! Other than Anna, Brandon’s pride and joy is his german shepherd Hera so of course we included her in a few. She did so well on the dock!!

After wrapping up in the neighborhood, we headed onto the beach to get some photos in the lifeguard stands and seagrass. The two of them plus that summer light is just perfect!!!
