It is the day before their wedding, and we are still swooning over Sara and Michael’s engagement session at The Arb.

As the sun was approaching the horizon, we explored one of Ann Arbor’s gems – Nichols Arboretum. It was evident from the moment Sara and Michael approached us hand-in-hand that they are completely head over heels for each other. We lost track of time talking about their engagement and documenting their chemistry. Just when the sun was about to set, the most beautiful golden light fell on Sara and Michael.

We left this session feeling rejuvenated, creatively inspired and – most importantly – so happy. We always have a goal in mind when we photograph engagements. We want our couples to fall in love all over during their session. With every embrace and laugh, we think these two fell more in love. From the time we have known Sara and Michael, we think this happens daily.

Tomorrow, they will tie the knot at the City Club in Ann Arbor. Independently, Sara and Michael are both intelligent and thoughtful. Together, we can’t imagine all they will accomplish.

From their contagious smiles to the beautiful golden light at Nichols Arboretum, this engagement session at the Arb was one we’ll always remember.
