While their wedding is not that far away, but here’s a little treat for Shannon and Chris from a very, VERY buggy and stormy evening in the Arb. Enjoy!

Engagement: Ari and Mark

Ari and Mark have been married for a month (!), but since I’m blogging the backlog of fun shoots I’ve done so far this summer, I thought I’d share a few of my favorite engagement portraits from their session.

Aren’t they sweet? This is the image that we used on their wedding gallery announcement cards that were handed out at the reception.

We went down to the Arb in Ann Arbor and meandered around one of the trails. I love this image – it’s awesome to photograph a couple who really are good friends to each other.

Ari’s engagement ring is beautiful!

I’ll admit it – I’ve got a soft spot for pictures of kisses. Especially the ones that are passionate and playful!

Laying in the grass…a classic Arb passtime! Ari and Mark were kind enough to humor me.

When we were wrapping up the shoot, the sun had begun to set and lit up the evergreens on the opposite side of the hill. The light is so intense, the trees looked like they were on fire. It was a lovely way to end our outing.

Next up I’ll have images from Mark and Ari’s gorgeous wedding. They had a beautiful, emotional ceremony in a garden, followed by a nonstop party reception – photos of dancing guests and celebration abound!

Engagement: Jennifer and Beau

These two are already a Mr. and a Mrs., but I’ve been doing more shooting than blogging this month! Their wedding was a lovely event, but for now, here’s a little peek at what they looked like before they tied the knot.

I’ve known Beau since we were kids, and I must say, it’s really great to see him with someone who’s just so right with him.

We went down to BASF park in Wyandotte, to scope out the place where they got married. The river was gorgeous, although the wind gets a little brisk at times.

Isn’t this a totally obedient dog? He’s so cute, and now he’s got a (fur) baby sister, too!

I can’t wait to post photos of their wedding – the sky was gorgeous, Beau and Jennifer were amazing, and the DJ played Don’t Stop Believin’ (my personal wedding reception favorite because it makes folks do crazy, exuberant things!).

I am on vacation!

I am flying with the family to Portland, OR to participate in a dear friend’s wedding this weekend. I’ll still be checking email, and if you need to contact me, I’ll have my phone with me. When I get back, I’ll have even more images to show and tell, but in the meantime, here are a few previews of what I’ve been up to lately!

There are even a few bonus images on flickr. Enjoy!
