Rainy Day Engagement Session at Matthaei Botanical Gardens in Ann Arbor, Michigan
Today I am reflecting on Courtney and Chris' engagement photo session and, as always, feeling such an intense sense of gratitude for being able to capture such a special moment in their lives. It seriously never gets old for me-- people only hire an engagement photographer once in their life, and sometimes they choose me?! Absurd. I am constantly reminded of the privilege it is to be able to document love and to witness the raw and real connections between two people.
Summer Engagement Session at Nichols Arboretum in Ann Arbor - Ané + Ian
I'm writing this blog post retroactively-- so when I think back on this HOT hot summer day with Ane + Ian, all I can remember is just how much FUN it was. These two have the best attitude, and they came ready to play and fully put their relationship on display. Sometimes as a photographer I have to work really hard to pull genuine actions and emotions out of people and with these two, it was so EASY. It was like they were taking happy pills or something. I smile every time I think about them and this day (but like not in a creepy way) and I can't wait to photograph their wedding at the Collins off Main in May!
Engagement Photos at UMMA in Ann Arbor- Rachel + Frank
If you’re reading this because you’re a fan of photography in general, or because you’re looking up places for engagement photos in Ann Arbor, you’re in the right place! I also want all of my session blogs to be a good resource for other photographers who are looking for inspiration or info about shooting locations that they’re considering. Any time I go somewhere new, my anxiety forces me to exhaust the google and instagram search bars for any information I can about a place before I go there. What are the coolest places? When is the best time to go? Is there parking? (In Ann Arbor, there is never parking. lol. bring your walking shoes.) So hopefully this is helpful to anyone who is planning a photo session at UMMA and wants the inside scoop!
