Charmaine + Stephen :: Engaged || Downtown Ann Arbor Engagement Session

I knew I loved Charmaine’s style from our first meeting when I saw her all too cute pumps (with bows). This Spartan pair agreed to meet us in downtown Ann Arbor for their engagement shoot and Charmaine looked AH-mazing!

They met through a mutual close friend about 5 years ago when Charmaine was in graduate school in Boston and Stephen was in Michigan. FOUR years of long distance dating and Charmaine was finally finished with school and post-grad training. As luck would have it Charmaine was offered a job back home in Michigan and the two finally could live in the same state! Relationships are tough… but long distance!? Their dedication to each other and perseverance is inspirational.

So here is the next part that makes their story swoon worthy…. They were engaged in Bruges, Belgium in a little alcove overlooking the canals. Picture the old buildings lining the canal with their unique ornate windows and rooftops. Most likely dancing lights reflecting in the water. Who wouldn’t say YES?!

Mary and I are both looking forward to their Detroit Yacht Club wedding this June as I am sure they are too!
