Melissa + Matt | Wedding

Thursday, July 23, 2009 Posted in Wedding

Melissa and Matt’s wedding was at one of the more popular locations in the Ann Arbor area, I had yet to photograph a wedding or anything for that matter on the grounds. I see why it is so popular now, the Matthaei Botanical Gardens are gorgeous and really help step up the imagery. My biggest thing I loved about their day, was the time I was given to capture everything I needed to…it wasn’t long, but was the perfect amount and I walked away feeling super good about the pics and had a hard time narrowing down which images to blog. I’m in love with all of the shots of the two of them. Thank you for being to easy to work with…enjoy your images!

Holly + George | Engagement

Wednesday, July 22, 2009 Posted in Engagement

Holly and George have such fun and unique personalities, so when we met up in Ann Arbor, I knew it was going to be a blast photographing them. I was right, they were a lot of fun to work with and they’re not to bad looking either We stuck around Ann Arbor and ended up at the famous Blimpy Burger which totally hit the spot. Thanks for rocking these images you two, you know we’re going to have all sorts of crazy fun on your big day!

Regina + Blaise | Engagement

Monday, July 20, 2009 Posted in Engagement

Regina, Blaise, and I met up at the Diag on U of M’s campus to photograph their e-session. We walked around parts of campus and had a fun time shooting and it really made me think about all the sweet images we’ll be able to get on their wedding day and like always I am looking forward to it even more now. Thanks for being so great to work with…enjoy your pics!
