We had SUCH a fun day with Chris and Jeanine shooting around Ann Arbor.  These two live in Florida and are getting married there next year - but, Chris did his undergrad at U of M and proposed here, so A2 is a special place for this couple ;-)  They flew in just to do this shoot with me - how awesome is that?!  I think it's clear from these photos how totally in-love and happy they are - truly, a joy to photograph.  I'm jealous of whoever gets to shoot the actual wedding ;-) 

SO MANY images I just love from our session - it was hard to narrow it down to just a handful to blog! 

Jeanine looked gorgeous - LOVED her dress!  Makeup by my pal Amanie, hair by the always fab Julie of Imagine3.

a few quick vendor shouts:
hair: luigi @ luigi bruni
makeup: Amani Mokdad

I started off the day with Ashleigh at the Ritz, for all the "getting ready" action
here's luigi working his magic:

loved the bouquet and boutonniere - too often I see these giant flower boutonniere's that just don't stay nice - by the time we're ready for pictures, they're practically destroyed!  But this looked sharp all day - so, note to future grooms - get a boutonniere that won't wilt or fall apart!!barton015.jpg

so many amazing spots to shoot at the museum - and wouldn't you know it, some of my favorite pictures are made against the wall outside the bathrooms - ha!
