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.
Tips for Wedding Photographers & 2024 Couples!
Relaxing isn’t really a word that synonymous with the wedding industry, but giving yourself and everyone around you time to relax on the wedding day is really going to make all the difference. It’ll make a difference in photos but it will also make a difference in how the day feels, and how you are able to enjoy it. One of my favorite things to do with a couple is to just tell them to take a couple minutes to decompress, relax and be in each others company. Make them forget there is a timeline and a camera and let them feel the happy energy of the day without an agenda. They will be able to slow down and make a mental snapshot while you get actual snapshots. Just remember to take small moments to relax, because the day flies by so fast if you don’t take the time to enjoy it.
Couples Session at Matthaei Botanical Gardens in Ann Arbor - Marielle + Miles
One of the reasons I love to shoot weddings is because the wedding is the entire point of the photos—everyone in front of the camera is so distracted on a wedding day because they aren’t there to get photos taken, they’re there to get married. That makes my job as a documenter easy. When you set out to do a photo session, it kind of feels like the photos are the whole point, and it’s a really hard thing to fight.

The space is beautifully decorated and unique— like a cozy vintage apothecary from some bygone era.
