We headed out to the University of Michigan's campus for photos of these two.

SO happy!

Mikey's favorite

When I showed this to Elissa on the back of my camera she started to tear up

U of M has lots of fun little photo op hidden treasures

I don't mean to be so funny…

Another treasure… Or… a place to park your bicycle

HEY!

One of my favorites

;)

After posing for this one… Elissa said that she knew she'd like this one.

Then off to Michigan Stadium where Mark proposed

Here we're standing only about 20 feet from where it all happened

The stadium is under construction… so this is as far as we could get.

Across the street Mikey found an awesome spot of sun. They worked it out!

AYKM?! FAVORITE!!!!!

Elissa and Mark booked us via email… so, this was the first time we met them.

I was so excited… because I just KNEW they were going to be awesome… and go figure… they ARE!

HA! Elissa and Mark have been together since high school… I can't remember how long… 8 years maybe? WOW to that!

We've been on a LOT of college campuses… however, the University of Michigan is in a league of it's own. Everything was so greeeeeeeeen! Amazing landscaping, buildings covered in ivy, awesomely unique trees, etc…. GREEEEEEEN! There were also a LOT of people. We were there during summer break… and the campus was PACKED!!!!! Like… PAAAAAAACKED! I cannot imagine what it's like there in during the school year…. WOWZAS!

We cannot wait for their December wedding!

LOVE!

So this is DEFINITELY the MOST random thing we've EVERRRRRRRRRRRR seen on a shoot!!!!! EVERRRRRRRRR!!!!!!! I mean… a Barbara Streisand album… ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! HAHAHA!

LOVE these even though I went to Michigan State! Every single one of these were amazing. U of M does have a gorgeous campus!

meganJune 28, 2008 - 8:55 am

Way to work the bicycle rack!!!

Dustin FrancisJune 28, 2008 - 12:55 am

I wish I would’ve know you two were in the area, I would’ve taken you out to dinner or something. I live three miles from campus and my fiance works for U of M. I shoot down there all the time. It’s funny to see similar use of some of the fun things on campus such as the bike rack, ivy wall, and law quad. Killer images you two…love ‘em! Whenever you’re in the area again, drop me a line, I’d love to show you some of the local treasures!

Amanda WJune 27, 2008 - 10:56 pm

These are seriously gorgeous. You guys get better by the day!

bobbiJune 27, 2008 - 9:48 pm

Wow… I just noticed there was a LOT of symmetry in this post. Nice eye K. Mallory!

K. MalloryJune 27, 2008 - 9:44 pm

Gosh…amazing as always. I love the symmetry of some of your shots and as always…those vivid, rockin’ colors Great job!

Nicole NeffJune 27, 2008 - 5:53 pm

HOT….ALL OF IT! Well, excpet for poor Barbara. You guys just keep outdoing yourselves!

One Shot Beyond PhotographyJune 27, 2008 - 5:24 pm

Okay…so-for sure the 4th one down is THE shot of the day!!! They need to enlarge that baby up to at least a 20×30…I’m picturing fine art paper…maybe linen & metallic finishes? Yes, that is it! It would be divine!

So…now that I’m over my drooling over that one here’s what I think of the rest. The 6th one down makes me smile.

The 11th one is perfect for some textured overlay to giv e it some artsy drama. 14 & 15…do I have to say a word? Okay…it’s OUTFREAKINGRAGEOUS!

cute couple

ElissaJune 27, 2008 - 2:57 pm

I LOVE THEM!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! We cannot wait for December, and these pictures make me even more excited! Thanks again for the pics and a great night! Also…the dress is ABS from Nordstrom
