Annie & Matthew's Love Story


Matthew and Annie found each other through a popular dating app called Tinder. Annie had just graduated from high school and Matthew was in college. Little did they know, this chance meeting would change their lives forever.


Annie was heading to Sinton, Texas for an internship on a wildlife refuge. It was a long drive from Fairfax, Virginia, but that didn't stop Matthew from wanting to see her. After two weeks of constant FaceTiming, he decided to make the four-hour journey in his truck, even though it had no air conditioning. Their connection was undeniable, and love quickly blossomed between them.


But love isn't always easy, and they were soon faced with a six-month period of separation. It was a challenging time, but Annie's upcoming move to Texas gave them hope for the future. And as they say, the rest is history.


When they are together, Matthew and Annie have a few favorite activities that bring them even closer. They love playing video games, hunting, fishing, and enjoying music together. These shared interests create a strong bond between them.


Annie admires how Matthew fulfills the traditional masculine role in their relationship. He is chivalrous and shows her love and respect in every way. Matthew, on the other hand, cherishes Annie's ability to love unconditionally. She never holds grudges and stands by his side during challenging times. She is his anchor, giving him the strength he needs.


Their love extends beyond just the two of them. Matthew and Annie have a fur baby named Ghost who brings joy and companionship to their lives. Ghost is an important member of their family, and they treasure every moment with him.


Recently, they had an engagement session with me and we captured their love in the most beautiful way. The session was filled with warmth and romance, despite the scorching 100-degree weather. They cuddled and shared loving gazes, creating magical and intimate moments.


Matthew and Annie's love story is one for the books. Their journey, from a chance meeting to an enduring love, is a testament to the power of love and fate. They are excited to embark on the next chapter of their lives together, hand in hand, creating more beautiful memories along the way.
