Every once in awhile you meet a person that is just a natural in front of the camera. Ryan is a natural. Since I had to give him very little direction, we spent our session walking around the Arb (with his mom Kate, too!) taking photos and just having a conversation. Not a bad way to spend a late September evening!

Ryan aspires to be a college professor and by the looks of him he's got some ivy league style. He loves history, is a student actor and makes films with his friends. Ryan is just your all around good guy!

The frame on the right reminds me of Clark Kent, all Ryan needs are some glasses. And a cape.

Love this one.

Enjoy your senior year, Ryan! Best of luck with school, and then school and then more school! ;)

When Rich asked me to shoot his wedding to then fiancé Rachel, I jumped at the chance. Not just because I wanted to be there to support them on their day, but also because I honestly love photographing for the people that are in my life, friends, family and co-workers alike! It's special to bear witness to milestones in their lives and to have the opportunity to capturing those moment on "film." :)

What I know about R² is that they are fun people. They met at a Halloween party several years ago, Rachel dressed as a mom and Rich a dad. A match made in heaven, people. Rachel is a nurse in real life, (and we all know nurses are awesome!) and Rich is a marketing and new media pro. I also have heard rumor of, and have not yet confirmed, that R² are parents to at least four felines. I'm fairly certain that also makes them my best friends. ;)

Rich and Rachel said their vows outdoors on the lawns at the Ann Arbor City Club here in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The bumped up the ceremony a few minutes due to the threat of a passing storm and the only drops we saw were during those first few minutes. They say that's good luck, I hear. :)

Here's a look at their June wedding:
