Austen proposed to Stephanie in May at one of their favorite places... Disney!  When she contacted me to set up a summer engagement session she wanted photos taken on campus at Oakland University where they first met and recently graduated from, as well as photos at the beautiful historic mansion where they happen to work.  I was super excited about the opportunity to shoot at Meadow Brook Hall and Gardens- what a gorgeous place!  And when I met this adorable couple I was even more excited.  Stephanie has such a bubbly personality, and Austen was a real champ for putting up with us as we took a crazy amount of photos all over the grounds!  Here are some of my favorites, and I'll do my best to narrow it down to a small handful but I'm not making any promises!  ;-)

Sunset Engagement Session at Lake Sixteen

This couple!!  They are so much fun!  I have known Christie for several years and was so excited when she & Josh announced their engagement.  I was thrilled and honored when she asked me to photograph their wedding & engagement session!  We sat down together to discuss the details and I asked them if there were any meaningful places or themes they would like to incorporate in their session.  A handful of great ideas were thrown around and in the end we decided to shoot them ALL!  Why not?!  So the collection of highlights you'll see below are like a mega-session that we took at 4 locations over the span of a single evening, ending with waiting for sunset at the dock.  The results were better than I could have imagined, thanks to this couple's relaxed & fun-loving presence.  Her mom summed it up perfectly when she saw the entire gallery and posted, "I love their love!" 

Read on and you'll see exactly what I mean!
