Nancy and Chris will be getting married next year in Scotland at the Eilean Donan Castle. It’s the most photographed castle in Scotland and I imagine that it will be just beautiful for their wedding day. For their engagement session they were open to have them taken anywhere as long as their dogs Bleu and Wyatt could join us. So I suggested a location that I would go to study when in college years ago, Gallop Park in Ann Arbor. The mix of the water, bridges, and trees were a great fit as long as the dogs didn’t try to chase after the ducks. Both dogs worked very well for the camera and we had a great time there.

Later we went downtown Ann Arbor for some shots near the Law Diag.  Nancy and Chris were a pleasure to meet and I really had a great time learning about them and capturing them for this wonderful time in their lives.

One final note.  I met Nancy the following day at the  Oakland County Cross Fit where she has been working out with my wife.  I gave the Cross Fit a try for the first time, and let me tell you that I have never worked harder in my life.  I’ll be waiting for the next on-ramp class so that I can gradually work up to the amount of strength needed, because as I type this my arms are sore just from lifting my hands to the keyboard.  I usually run, so using all of the muscles in my body is a foreign task for me.  If you have a local Cross Fit, I highly recommend it.  It will change your life.
