I was so excited when Derek & Chelsea first reached out to me about photographing their Colony Club wedding next June. Derek’s sister, Sarah, was one of my best friends throughout grade school and I always get so excited to document the weddings of people I know!! I met up with Chelsea & Derek at the end of October at the University of Michigan Law Quad for their engagement session! The Law Quad is one of my favorite places to take photos because you can’t beat the architecture (and really, any excuse to hangout on the Michigan campus again is a win in my book)! I haven’t seen the Harry Potter movies, but if I had to guess what Hogwarts looked like, I would say the Law Quad is it! I love the gothic and majestic feel of it! Chelsea has the most infectious smile and I just loved chatting with her! She also has the grace of a ballerina and I was totally envious of her amazing posture! Her and Derek are so adorable together and you can truly see how they feel about each other in these photos! I can’t wait to get them in front of my camera again on their wedding day!
