A few months back we photographed the lovely Christine + Scott's e-session when the Ann Arbor Carnival was in town-and we had a blast. Christine and Scott have known each other for over 15 years-and are getting married this December-we can't wait. So excited to show you their e-session images!

Enjoy!
