Lisa + Mike are a super adorable couple who had a super beautiful engagement session in Detroit, and it was all captured by Julie Pepin Photography! I love the dreamy, magical look these photos have. I could stare at them all day! I also love Lisa’s engagement ring. Instead of a traditional diamond, she chose a pearl. The ring has a cute little story behind it that Lisa shared…

My ring was designed and made by Mike and my Uncle Todd (who lucky for me happens to be a former jewelry designer at Reaver Diamond Co). Apparently, I caused a lot of problems for the design because I kept requesting for the pearl to be bigger and bigger and they were worried about how it would attach to the band. Haha. Mike likes to tell people I requested a golf ball on my finger and he had to talk me down from it. In the end it’s a 13mm natural gray pearl on a white gold band and it couldn’t be more perfect for me.
