A Wedding in “The Arb”, Nichols Arboretum – University of Michigan

Just below the University of Michigan Hospital, Survival Flight helipad, built along the hillside of the hospital, you’ll find an entry to The Nichols Arboretum; a 123-acre arboretum featuring a 10 acre restored prairie, over 500 wood plant species, lilac collection, peony garden and more than a mile of frontage along the Huron River.

On a beautiful Sunday in May, a wedding took place in the Arb!



The meandering trail along the river. Most enjoyable, whether traveling on foot, bicycle or a golf cart.

It was a typical, sunny day in the Arb. The view to my right (above), and to my left (below).

In the midst of everyone doing what they do in the Arb on a sunny day, family and friends gather for a wedding.

It couldn’t have been more beautiful!

On to the wedding reception, held at Zingerman’s Roadhouse. Another Ann Arbor classic!

The newlyweds depart – by canoe.


Under the bridge and down the river, that runs through amazing, natural beauty nestled within the cityscape.
Congratulations Erik, Jessica & Lola!
