Last weekend I met up with Heather and Tyler in the early (oh so early – these two are amazing) morning hours in Ann Arbor for their engagement session!  I am becoming more and more fond of Ann Arbor – what an amazing little town!  Even more wonderful are Heather and Tyler… we had such a great time hanging out, taking pictures and chatting!  On top of this, Heather introduced me to Zingerman’s – a famous deli located in just Ann Arbor.  Once I had a little taste of their chai tea, I fell in love.  So in love that I may just move to Ann Arbor for Zingerman’s alone ;).

Heather and Tyler are simply perfect for each other.  I can just tell from seeing them together and witnessing such happiness and love between the two of them.  They both attended the same college for sometime before actually meeting each other, and when I said “how cool!  I bet you passed each other so many times in the halls without even knowing it!” Tyler returned, “not likely… I would have never missed her walking by me…” :)

We started our session at the beautiful Nichols Arboretum…

And I don’t even need to say it, but these two… gorgeous.

I’m not sure if you two EVER take a bad photo… so, so pretty.

This is my all time favorite :)

And we found some lovely wildflowers!  Eeee!!

After our walk in the early morning woods, we decided to head to a little downtown area called Kerrytown (where Zingerman’s IS located)!  I loved all of the character this little spot had!

There’s that pretty morning sunlight!

This was pretty much the only shot we got on the street because yes… cars were driving down it.  A lot.  We get a little crazy when it comes to engagement sessions over here! ;)

Love these…

And last but not least, we stopped in at a cute little market for some shots!  I loved it in here!  I swear… I should move to Ann Arbor!!

Heather and Tyler – I truly feel so lucky to have met the both of you.  And even MORE lucky to be able to capture your wedding day next year!  I can barely wait!!!  Hugs & more hugs!!!

“You have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you.  I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.”  -Mr. Darcy

These words, this book, the emotions, the scenery… everything Pride and Prejudice embodies is everything I completely adore.  So, when Ashley from TwoFoot Creative and I met up last December and started talking, we could barely even contain our excitement at the prospect of doing a bridal shoot based on this beautiful book by Jane Austen and 2005 screenplay of the movie.

Words cannot describe how much I adore Ashley – this shoot was completely pulled together with her amazing talent and creativity.  All of the amazing vendors that were involved made this day absolutely incredible (see links at the end of this post – and also keep scrolling to see an AMAZING behind the scenes video from Bradley Productions).  Words cannot describe how in love I was with every single detail… so I hope the pictures can :).  We had WAY too much fun and I’m so excited to finally share these with you all!

Bradley Productions also created an amazing behind the scenes video from our shoot… check it out!  They are amazing videographers that have seriously wowed me with their astounding work.

And of course, I couldn’t resist showing a couple behind the scene photos ;)

Getting the horse to come wasn’t as easy as it looked… we needed a little coaxing and some grain to convince him :)

This is Lynn – one of the owners of the gorgeous ranch we shot at (Serenity Farms – also a huge shout out to Janine for all of her help) and Ana who works for Bridal Elegance, who was our designated dress fitter and horse tamer!

A little puddle dancing!

And kitty cuddling :)

And Stephen… while I was in a tree taking photos of Jessica, Stephen popped out behind her to grab a shot of me.  Hence, he is out of focus because the focus was on her… but still funny nonetheless.  These guys are a blast to work with!

And last but not least, Patty HAD to greet her new friend :)
