Justin & Jessica {Engaged!}

Kensington Metro Park holds a special place in Justin and Jessica's hearts, so it was only fitting that we captured their engagement images there.  Both Justin and Jessica worked at Kensington during college and they met one fateful afternoon when they were assigned shifts together.  Jessica said that pretty much right away she thought Justin was hot, and it didn't take long for their love story to begin.

We had fun retracing their steps around the park and got a fun variety of images of the two of them together.   Although Kevin and I love Kensington, and have spent a lot of time there hiking, we loved being introduced to a few areas we hadn't visited before.  It's such a big park with so much to discover, if you have the time to explore.  Thanks Justin and Jessica for showing us around!  :)

Enjoy these few teasers and keep your eye open for the rest of the proofs soon.

Josh & Emily {Engaged!}

Do we travel out of state for engagement sessions?  You bet!  We were thrilled to have the opportunity last week to head over and explore Cleveland, Ohio for Josh and Emily's portraits.  Neither Kevin nor I have ever been to Cleveland so it was a fun experience to get to know both Josh and Emily, and a new city, all at once.  The areas that we saw were quite beautiful and we loved all of the intriguing architecture and detail in the downtown area.

Spending time with Josh and Emily was a lot of fun - we spent a long time taking pictures and then finished the evening off with a great dinner together.  It was great getting to know them both and learning their story and the details of their relationship.  We can't wait for their wedding this fall here in Brighton, Michigan and are really looking forward to capturing all of the moments of their wedding day.

Enjoy these few teasers from our time together!

Corey & Ashley {Engaged!}

We met Corey and Ashley through a friend who was a fan of ours on Facebook (yay!!!) and have absolutely loved getting to know them over the past few months!  This past Saturday we had the opportunity to photograph their engagement portraits in the beautiful and bustling city of Northville and were blessed with some hot, but beautiful weather.  The forecast was steamy temperatures and stormy skies, but with a slight breeze the heat wasn't unbearable, and apparently it rained everywhere but where we were that evening!  Lucky, lucky us!

Corey and Ashley were fun and full of laughter throughout the entire session - perfect for capturing the lighthearted and fun side of their relationship.  They met online a few years ago and have had a solid, red-hot relationship ever since.  It's so much fun being around couples that are so into each other!

Enjoy these few teasers from our night with Corey and Ashley, and check back in April for their wedding teasers.  The date will come soon enough!

And of course we had to end the evening on a extra high note with Jack's Ice Cream in downtown Northville!  We like to treat our couples right.  :)

Robert & Heather {Engaged!}

Robert and Heather's engagement portraits were pretty near perfect.   The couple was fun, totally in love and super cute; the weather was mild, sunny and just a little breezy; the clouds were fluffy, white and dramatic; dinner and ice cream were delicious; the conversation was fun!  What a great way to spend a Friday evening!

A few months ago we met Heather and her mom at the Grand Opening of our favorite wedding boutique, The White Dress, in downtown Brighton.  It was fun watching Heather shop for wedding dresses and so exciting when she found just the right one.  We were able to chat with them after they shopped and both Heather and her mom were so excited!  How fun to be a part of such a momentous purchase.

Through all of our consultations and conversations, we were never able to meet up with Robert, so the night of the engagement was our first introduction.  It was great having the opportunity to finally meet him and to get to know the love of Heather's life.  :)  They are a wonderful couple and we are so glad they chose us to photograph their wedding day!

Enjoy these few teasers from our night together with them, and don't forget to leave them a little love.

David + Rebecca {Engaged!}

Earlier this year, we launched a HUGE wedding giveaway where one engaged couple could win a complete wedding package with full wedding day coverage, an amazing engagement session, a CD of all of their wedding proofs, plus a whole lot more for free!  The competition was intense and the voting was neck-to-neck all the way to the very end, but we would like to introduce to you our winning couple - David Schmitke and Rebecca Schneemann!!!

Last Tuesday we went out for a night-on-the-town in Downtown Ann Arbor, and enjoyed the opportunity to connect and get to know David and Becca as we captured timeless images of their relationship.  We loved having the opportunity to learn a new area of Ann Arbor, as well as enjoy a fabulous dinner with David and Becca at Zingerman's Deli.  Becca works at Zingerman's Roadhouse so she was our tour guide through the Zingerman's experience.  And what a yummy experience it was!  If you've never been to this Ann Arbor classic - definitely put it on your bucket list.  :)

Enjoy these few teaser images from David and Becca's engagement session, and stay tuned in late August for images from their wedding!

And one last fun, completely candid shot, just because ...  :)
