Fall Stony Creek Engagement Session in Washington, Michigan provided by Kari Dawson Photography.

I met Emily + James at a non-traditional bridal show, where I was helping a sister out, but when we skyped for their consult, a few weeks later, I didn’t recognize them and they didn’t remember meeting me. That’s crazy to me!

These two first crossed paths at the ages of 18 and 19 and experienced a summer romance that Emily was sure James would end when they departed for college. While they did give the long-distance college campus thing a good college try they would weave in and out of each other’s lives for many years. As a woman who married at 17, I can truly appreciate their desire to finish school and build their careers before getting engaged.

Every part of the planning and prep so far has been so fun. From chatting about wardrobe for their fall stony creek engagement session and prop ideas to how easy it is to be in their company. And champagne. Three bottles of it actually. There’s only a single photo or two of how much fun we had with said champs but I want to save the best for what Emily and James have planned for those moments. Enjoy a scroll through my very favorites from their engagement session. We got so lucky with a mild evening and tons of fall color. Can’t wait for the big day at Meadow Brook in 2020!
