Annie & Caleb's Waldenwooods Wedding

Yessss. It's that time. Time to share Caleb and Annie's wedding feature. These cuties got married at the always beautiful Waldenwoods! You may remember them from their winter engagement session early last year. Man, this was a special one. Annie is an absolute DARLING and I loved working with her so much. One thing I really loved about Annie was her ability to intentionally live in the moment. I could see it in the way she savored hugs and just slowed down throughout the day. She and Caleb are just head over heels for each other. Annie's face as she read Caleb's handwritten note right before the ceremony and Caleb's face when he saw his bride for the first time as the doors opened for her to come down the aisle really say it all. They were made for each other! Annie, who just beamed with happiness all day, was radiant in her unique two-toned illusion neckline BHLDN gown and side swept vintage-inspired hair. She also surrounded herself with the sweetest most helpful bridesmaids who were really a pleasure to be around all day! Their "bridesmaids' first look" was one of my favorite moments of the year for sure! And I just loved seeing how close these two are to their families. It was a gorgeous day and truly a pleasure to be a part of. Enjoy my favorites and see below for vendor and artist credits!

Rachel & Tom's Rochester Engagement Session

I'm so thrilled to post Tom and Rachel's Rochester engagement session feature tonight! These two are college sweethearts and they met while living in the athletic dorms at Miami University. I absolutely loved getting to know them better at their session and I know their Oakhurst Golf and Country Club wedding day this August will be fabulous because of their fun personalities, good looks and amazing chemistry. Congratulations on your engagement, you two! I hope you enjoy my favorites from this adorable session! xoxo

Kyle & Sarah's Ann Arbor Engagement Session

Yay! It's time to share Sarah and Kyle's engagement session feature! My friend Sarah is such a babe and seriously the complete package and I always knew whoever landed her would be a lucky man! Well, Kyle is that lucky man and he's also pretty cool himself! Kyle and Sarah have such an easy natural chemistry and are just adorable together. I love seeing the kind of love they have because it just makes my heart warm! These two are big fans of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan, so we HAD to go there for their photos! First stop was Nichols Arboretum then we went to Yost Ice Arena. I seriously loved "working" with these two! I know their Inn at Saint John's wedding day next October will be amazing and full of so much fun and laughter! Enjoy my favorites! Congratulations, you two! It's clear you were made for each other. xoxo
