Amongst the hustle and bustle of the campus of Michigan State University there is a place that juts up against the Red Cedar River in East Lansing that is quiet, semi-secluded (if you don't count the studying co-eds), and that is a bit magical. For the engagement session of Maegan and Eric, we explored this secret garden, named WJ Beal Botanical Gardens, and I enjoyed getting to know them a bit better!

Eric took Maegan's hand, steering them along the green pathways and I thought there was such a tender and honest way about how he guided her, as if she was the most precious thing in his world. Maegan's eyes would search Eric's face as they laughed and joked beneath the sheltering trees and fragrant flowers. Maegan and Eric both love to rock climb and at different points they experimented with a bit of tree climbing. Between the failed attempts, Eric's eyes would light up whenever Maegan laughed. They were like peas and carrots.

Eric and Maegan I had so much fun spending the evening with you both and I cannot wait until your wedding next year!!

Love Always,

Courtney Carolyn
