Brady is my husband’s cousin and when I mentioned to their grandparents that Marikatherine had reached out to schedule some photos of her, Brady, and their dogs, they got SO excited thinking there was a big announcement coming up. I laughed it off and said that most people take engagement photos after they get engaged that nobody mentioned anything about these being engagement photos so these weren’t a big deal. Little did I know that Brady had other plans and a week after we took these photos he popped the question with a gorgeous emerald cut diamond ring! We’re all really excited for showers and wedding festivities, but mostly we’re excited to welcome Marikatherine to the family <3
