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.


 
Pretty pleased with myself for working in some MAZIE AND BLUE!!

I'm super-excited for Medha and Salim's wedding this October.  Here's some of my favorites from our Ann Ann Arbor engagement session

a few favorites from our eshoot in Lansing

Met up with Cari and Gabe awhile back for a laid-back engagement shoot around Ann Arbor.  Really looking forward to their intimate wedding at Cafe Cortina this fall.

Enjoy!

Busy season is officially here!  Which means, my blog gets neglected bit....

Here's some favorites from a recent shoot with Liz and Gordon - an absolutely adorable couple!  Gordon is working in Austin right now, and was only in town for a couple of days.  And wouldn't you know it, the day of shoot it was raining.  But they were total troopers and we got some wonderful images!  They even gave me some time the following day, when the weather was gorgeous - so we wound up with a really lovely collection of rainy and sunny day images.



as I was shooting this next series, I realized my lens was fogged up (rainy weather will do that!).  I figured they'd be unusable, but I actually really like them!  They almost have a holga feel. 

Kristin and Tony have what has got to be the best ever "how'd you meet?" story.  They met while Kristin was on vacation in Costa Rica - and Tony was her tour guide!  A whirlwind romance ensued, Tony moved to the US, and now they're getting married!  Is that not the stuff of romance novels?!

Anyhow - we met up at the Ren Cen Marriott in downtown Detroit last week for our e-shoot.  Their wedding will be in the Ambassador Ballroom there and I am so excited - it's an amazing venue right at the feet of the riverwalk. 

Here's a few favorites:

The Ren Cen is a really beautiful and interesting building, and there are some cool interior spaces that we took advantage of since it was so chilly (what is up with this crazy weather lately!).

I'm am SO happy that wedding season is (almost!) here.  Paul and Vicky were my first e-shoot in what feels like forever, and I was just so pleased to be shaking off the winter and shooting.  And what a lovely couple to begin the season with.  Not only are they gorgeous and totally photogenic - but they are so sweet and in-love.  Shooting them was a breeze. 

Both are U of M alums, so we took a little walking tour of some of their favorite spots on campus

These two booked me from Chicago - I was so excited to get to meet them last weekend while they were in town for some planning.  We met up to chat and did a mini e-shoot (it was COLD out!) - here's a few cute ones - not bad for 5 minutes of shooting ;-)

steve and lauren are such a sweet couple, and their happiness is totally contagious.  we met up saturday for a relaxed engagement shoot in Ann Arbor - and I was in a good mood the rest of the day!  I'm super-excited for their wedding this July at Cherry Creek.

Michelle hired me all the way from Germany, where her and Andreas live.  I was so excited to finally meet them for an engagement session while they were in town visiting for the holidays.  These two actually have a ridiculously adorable story - they met studying abroad in Australia, and made it work long-distance before finally settling down together ;-)

Anyhow - we met up in downtown Ann Arbor and had a great time wandering back alleys and other little corners of town shooting.  Here's some favorites!
