It began with a last minute phone call. Kate would be back in Ann Arbor just long enough to help Joe finish packing up their apartment, say a few farewells and get on the road to Seattle, where they pair were to relocate. With one exception.

Joe planned a sweet surprise engagement for Kate. He ordered a custom fairy door and picked the spot of the second date in Nichols Arboretum for the big reveal. The ring arrived on a Friday and the engagement happened on Saturday morning. All I had to do, was plant the door and ring and wait nervously in the bushes to photograph the big moment! Guess what? She said yes. :)

Following a few quick "we did it!" photos, Kate, Joe and I met up a couple days later to wander around Ann Arbor and take their official engagement photos. I think you can tell by the photos that we had a blast.

Congrats Kate & Joe! Ann Arbor's loss, is Seattle's, gain. I only wish I had met you two earlier, you are awesome!
