Max + Erin | Intimate Ann Arbor Wedding

March 26, 2022

To my friends, Erin and Max, who finally got to celebrate their Ann Arbor intimate wedding.  I know this journey for you has been absolutely wild. Max’s first year working as a doctor began in 2020 (how brave jumping into the deep end like that!!). The pandemic has been nothing short of absolute chaos, especially for our medical folks and their loved ones. And on top of the craziest time to begin a medical career, you had to completely rearrange your wedding plans. While your big wedding celebration was put on hold from 2020 to 2021 (take a peek below to see that beautiful event), I was able to witness some extraordinary adoration for each other in this intimate setting. You two are strong individually, but wow are you undeniably stronger together! I loved capturing your engagement photos, your backyard ceremony, and your marriage celebration the following year.

And I am still thrilled that Emmy was able to be with us most of the day.  It might have rained, but nothing could dampen this party.

I can’t wait to follow your adventures in the future! Here are a few of my favorite photos from your Ann Arbor intimate wedding!
