Engagement
Ok, so all my couples have the most incredible love story to tell. Each story is beautiful and so much fun to capture and to watch unfold on camera. Chandice and Evan could not have made my job any easier to capture this!! These two are SO fun and perfect in front of the camera and I quite enjoyed being the third wheel on this sunny evening exploring a little part of Detroit. And I’m STILL sad we didn’t have an extra…
We are SO thrilled to have Sam and Riley’s engagement session be featured on WeddingDay Magazine!! They are an amazingly sweet couple and I’m still not over their engagement session, shot in Petoskey, MI. A little bit of snow, lots of sunshine and laughs, and a whole lot of perfection pretty much sums up their engagement session. Click the image below to see the full feature!
You guys know how much we love to travel, right? Even when we aren’t traveling, we are totally playing tourist all around Traverse City and the surrounding Northern Michigan areas, exploring and playing and just finding those hidden gems in our beautiful state. Which is why we are itching to have spring finally arrive…we enjoy winter but 99% of our exploring and getting outside is during the warm summer months.
Having hit all 50 states this past year, we have most definitely explore lots of our country as well. Well, Colorado is one of those places I can visit again and again. And again. It’s incredible with so much diverse landscape and a total dream to photograph in. I was SO happy it worked out to photograph Sierra and Charlie’s engagement there this past fall! Their wedding will be back here in Michigan, but capturing them…
So, a few days before this polar vortex hit pretty much all of the midwest of the USA strong, I met with Molly and Tayler for their engagement session with regular Michigan winter temperatures…you know, barely breaking 10 degrees. It actually WAS pretty freezing but these two…they had nothing but smiles and were a dream to work with! I figured I’m posting all these previews to our…
Earlier this summer, before the 4th of July hits and all of Traverse City and the surrounding areas becomes tourist central, we ventured out to the Sleeping Bear Dunes with Alexa and Jake for their engagement session. It was just SO perfect. There were a few…
That first snowfall of winter is a magical time in Northern Michigan. Fall is winding down and everyone is in anticipation of those first flakes. It's the *perfect* time for an engagement session as true cold temperatures haven't settled into winter yet, the snows aren't deep (mostly!) and there's no better reason to cuddle a little closer. We shot just about one...
I am SO excited to have Ryan and Nicole's blustery engagement session featured on Popsugar today!! This was such an amazing engagement session where they braved the brutal cold and wind coming from Lake Superior (and even Nicole in one heck-of-a dress!) and had a stunning session. Check out the feature below!!
Kendall and Chase are absolutely a couple after my own heart. They love adventure (they've traveled all over the world together...even getting engaged in Paris!) and trying new things so when Kendall said they've never visited Traverse City, I knew...
Jackie and Roy had the *perfect* day for their engagement session. I'm always a little bit on edge when a client is traveling for their engagement session, I always want the perfect weather for them, and Jackie and Roy totally hit the jackpot. It was perfect out. A gorgeous, endless summer day. I love shooting at the...
I'm so happy for this couple...TODAY is their wedding day, and perfect timing for their snowy engagement session to be featured on Let's Bee Together!! We had an amazing time wandering around the snowiest spots in Marquette, MI. Northern Michigan is always cold and snowy in February, but we had such an amazing day for our session with the lake effect snow bands coming in and out. Click HERE to view more of this feature!!
I cannot say how much I love when client families turn into wonderful relationships. I've been able to work with member's of Jimmy's family now for a number of weddings and sessions and his family are some of the best people I know. So when these two got engaged and contacted me about photographing their wedding, I was SO SO SO happy! That, and the fact...
I love engagement sessions. I love getting to know my couples before the wedding day, and these sessions are so much more relaxed than a wedding day typically is. This means we really get to shoot without the pressure of keeping within a timeline, we can just kick back, relax, and adventure around, capturing my couples being...well, a couple! And I simply ADORED Samantha and...
Jessica and James. We decided on Grand Marais for the engagement session and I knew it was going to be amazing because...well, Grand Marais. It's gorgeous there. But the cherry on top was this perfect couple. We had an absolute BLAST shooting. It being still fairly early spring in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan...
Continuing my blogging of past sessions from this summer and fall, I'm so excited to be sharing some favorites from Eric and Erica's beautiful engagement! This couple is having their wedding in my hometown, and wanted the session on some of Erica's family property. It was perfection...the day, the couple, the locations. I just loved every second of these two and while I didn't include any below, there was SO many fun and goofy moments that I cannot wait to continue with their spring wedding in a few months!
