Holly and Daniel met at Michigan State University Campus (MSU) while in college and we had so much fun exploring some amazing gardens on campus with them. The MSU Horticulture Gardens, MSU 4-H Children's Garden and Clarence E. Lewis Landscape Arboretum were stunning at every turn and I can’t wait to go back. While it was much overcast and much colder than we anticipated, I am so obsessed with how beautiful it all turned out. These two are getting married at Cornman Farms next year and I can’t wait to be there for that magical day too.
Danielle + Phil
I just had the most dreamy evening capturing Danielle and Phil's engagement session during golden hour in downtown Ann Arbor. Let me tell you, the light was absolutely magical as it bathed the streets in a warm, romantic glow.
Danielle and Phil have such a sweet chemistry that really shone through in their photos. They were so natural and comfortable in front of the camera, which made my job a breeze. It was clear to see the love they share and how excited they are to start this new chapter together.
We wandered around downtown Ann Arbor, finding the perfect spots for some intimate shots against the picturesque backdrop of the city. From charming alleyways to lush green parks, every location we visited added a special touch to their photos.
I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to capture such a special moment for Danielle and Phil. Being able to document their love in this beautiful setting was truly a joy. I can't wait to see them tie the knot and continue their love story. This session has me even more excited for the upcoming Michigan weddings I have booked - there's just something so magical about capturing love in this state.

Ann Arbor Summer Engagement Session
I know I say this about every post on here but this session and these two are some of my favorite people. Not only as they just wonderful people but they also put their full trust in me to create some magic. I took them around some of my favorite places around Ann Arbor; the Arb and Peony Garden, the Law Quad and Michigan Stadium.
What I hear most often from couples after their engagement session is that it was more than fun than they thought it was going to be. I always tell couples at the beginning of a shoot, lean into the awkward. What that mean? If feeling awkward makes you laugh, do it! If you want to kiss, do it! If you want to snuggle, do it! I am always there for direction but these moments I cannot create, they happen. You make it happen, I am just there to capture the magic!
