University of Michigan Stadium Engagement Photos. Michigan Stadium engagement photos in Ann Arbor, Michigan provided by Kari Dawson.
In 2009 Lisa first met Tim during a job interview. She left feeling like, not only did she not get the job, but certain that none of her interviewers were fond of her. Lisa did get the job! But she worked on a different team and didn’t reconnect with Tim again until 2012 when they had an opportunity to spend time together outside of work. Not only was Tim actually fond of Lisa, they had a lot in common. Before long, Tim was working for a new company and the pair became a couple. Tim casually asked Lisa one day if she wanted her mail and passed it along with a gorgeous ring on top. Lisa was definitely surprised and obviously said ‘yes.’
We had the incredible opportunity of shooting their engagement sessions at the Big House! Tim is a University of Michigan alumni and a big Michigan fan. Lisa and Tim have spent a lot of Saturdays together at the U of M football games so the stadium was an obvious choice. Our personal guide escorted us to the locker rooms and other fun stadium features. But we were all just so excited to get onto the field. We’ve had so much snow, so I am so glad the field was clear. We froze. We really, really froze but it was so fun and so worth it!
I am so excited for Tim and Lisa’s summer wedding. The ceremony is going to be gorgeous at the Matthaei Botanical Gardens in Ann Arbor, Michigan. And the reception will take place at the lovely Weber’s Inn also in Ann Arbor.

Karli has been Kari’s creative partner for five years. Before every wedding, we visualize you as a couple, your venue, and your day, so we walk in prepared for a calm, intentional experience.
Kari is the creative director, and since she’s only human and can’t be everywhere at once, Karli closes the gaps. She shoots alongside Kari, keeps the day on schedule, carries your bouquet, fixes your veil, and is a real-life cheering squad.
That’s not even the best part. She’s also Kari’s daughter, which means we communicate without words. She anticipates what Kari needs before she asks, and together we’ve built a wedding-day rhythm you'll notice.
One leads, one closes the gaps, and nothing gets missed.
