SHANNON + TEDDY’S WELCOME PARTY
There’s something especially meaningful about the night before a wedding.
It’s when everything begins to feel real — the excitement, the anticipation, and the quiet realization that the day you’ve been planning for is finally here.
For Shannon and Teddy, their welcome party in Ann Arbor was exactly that — a heartfelt beginning to a weekend centered around love, connection, and the people who matter most.
WHAT TO WEAR FOR YOUR ENGAGEMENT SESSION
The number one question I get asked by my couples after they book with me is: “What should we wear for our engagement session?” — and it’s a great question.
The outfits you choose play a big role in how your engagement photos come together. Thoughtful styling helps your images feel timeless, natural, and truly reflective of who you are as a couple. It also becomes the first glimpse your guests get into your wedding story.
They’re guided. And that’s not a bad thing.
