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.
Surprise Proposal at Matthaei Botanical Gardens in Ann Arbor - Julia + Carson
If you’re looking for a place to propose in Ann Arbor, look no further than Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Conservatory. On a cold (but sunny!) day in March, Carson proposed to Julia at the botanical gardens. The spot was perfect, and so was the moment — the sun was just peeking through some clouds and it made for some really elegant, precious photos of this moment that Carson and Julia are going to remember f o r e v e r. I might have mention this a few times in various blogs but MAN I love my job, it is truly the best.
Surprise Engagement Proposal at U of M Stadium in Ann Arbor - Vivian + Aaron
When Aaron contacted me and said he was planning to propose to his girlfriend Vivian at Michigan Stadium and that he was looking for someone to photograph it, I couldn’t say yes fast enough! Anything that is a surprise is my absolute FAVORITE. It’s so fun to think about how Vivian walked into the Stadium a girlfriend and walked out a FIANCEE and had no idea that her day would end up like that. As were walking out afterward, Vivian said “I thought he was going to propose to me at the Taylor Swift concert.” If anything can compete with Love Story, it’s probably this.
