Michaela & Drew | Marquette University Engagement Photography

Michaela & Drew met in a somewhat unconventional way: on the cheerleading team at Marquette. Her sister and Drew were already team members when she visited and tried a few stunts herself, Drew being the lucky base paired up with her. One beautiful morning this summer they told me the sweet and funny story that marks the slightly awkward beginning of their friendship as they didn’t pair up so well that day – both struggling to complete the various stunts they tried to do together. But slowly and surely that not-so-great stunt day turned into oh-so-many-great real life days together. With The Old Gym and Marquette’s campus as their constant backdrops they formed a perfect partnership that has outlasted their time as student athletes and these days they can even get a little poetic when reminiscing about their time on campus. So, coupled with two delicious cups of coffee and lots of smiles, I was thrilled when they suggested we go on a nostalgic walk about Marquette for their morning engagement session. Everything about this session – and about Michaela and Drew – is bright and airy and simply so much fun.
