Pictures are a ticket back to a moment otherwise gone.

So you've found your partner but it isn't quite time to get engaged. No problem. I work with couples before, during, or after engagement! Couples want pictures for various reasons, just got a puppy, just graduated, holiday cards, or just for fun! There are so many seasons in life and in your relationship worth remembering and celebrating!

Here is the thing you don't need an excuse to capture the season you're in! Since I took these pictures of Rachel and Lee they moved from Raleigh to Chicago, got a dog, and got engaged.

So much has changed in their lives since I took these photos! It's a gift to capture a specific moment in time like these two love birds did.

On my engagement page I talked about the benefits of using an engagement shoot to determine if a photographer is the right fit for your wedding day.

Well in this case this couple used this photo op to decide they had found the right fit for their engagement shoot. Turns out THEY DID!

One opportunity to work with a photographer builds to the next. When you work with Annah Riedel Photography my hope is to follow your journey as your life moves from one phase to the next.

Over the last few years I have loved watching clients get engaged, get married, have puppies, or have kids.

But the reality is we are all on our own journey. Enjoy the moment you are in. Don't rush forward, don't look back, just live for right now!

I look forward to capturing who you and your partner are today.
