I kept telling them that I’d never given this little direction at an engagement session before. And they just kept saying, “well, we don’t get to see each other that often.” So, really, that’s how Cory and Diana’s engagement session went. I was a little bit like paparazzi just following them around and waiting for their next soulful gaze into each other’s eyes or burst of laughter. Every now and then I’d pipe in with some guidance but, for the most part, these two just had so much love and expression between them that they didn’t need me interrupting.
We spent the morning at Matthaei Botanical Gardens (read: amazing Saturday morning) and then headed into downtown Ann Arbor for some time at Nickels Arcade and the Law Quad. The morning was great and it is so clear the love and appreciation these two have for each other. Check it out!
Umm, really?
This is when Diana looked up at Cory and said, ” you’re so cute.” Too much!
See, they didn’t need me!
So, if you’ve seen the movie 500 Days of Summer, you probably remember the scene where there’s a cartoon bluebird fluttering about while everyone is dancing and singing in the park. I think that scene is both ridiculous and hilarious but it’s definitely a happy one. Well, something I didn’t notice until I was giving these images their first edit was the butterfly prancing around Cory’s head in the photo on the left. Kind of like the cartoon bluebird with all of the happiness of love. I’m thrilled we caught that!
Love, love, LOVE!
Cory purchased Diana’s engagement ring at The Arcadian Antiques so I love that these images have a bit of a story behind them…
Diana and Cory, you two are beautiful together!
Cory and Diana: It was SO great to spend some time with you guys and get to know you a little better. Good luck to you both in all of your studies and work and preparing for your wedding day. I can’t wait to be there and spend more time capturing your SO obvious love for each other! All the best,
nicole
