winter engagement
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…
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!!
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 first met Ryan and Nicole in Green Bay, Wisconsin. It was the evening before we were scheduled to shoot a wedding and we had met up with that bride and groom at the hotel with their wedding party, family, and friends for a few drinks. We were chatting about how excited we were for the next day's wedding and just general conversation and Ryan (who at the time was only dating Nicole) mentioned to us about how he was planning on proposing to Nicole in...
I first got in touch with Emma and Matt thru Matt's sister and her fiancé (you can see their amazing engagement session HERE) when they were looking for a photographer once they became engaged. I was SO excited that Emma and Matt wanted their engagement session done in the Upper Peninsula AND in the winter. I seriously love everything about the spring/summer/fall, but there's something about a winter engagement session, and in Michigan no less, that's perfect in every way. I love that it's such a contrast from their Minnesota wedding later this...
I love when a session with my clients gets published, and today it is one of our favorites of Joe and Teja in the gorgeous Marquette, Michigan. Thank you so much to Brown Sparrow Weddings for the feature...more
Right now it's the month of April. While the rest of the country is warm, and spring is blooming, we have school cancellations in some of the districts around us because of the snow. Seriously. So, on that snowy, cold note, I'm blogging Danielle and Cole's engagement session from February. It was a cold and snowy day then, too! Barely above freezing, and a fresh snow fall from the night before (with some still snow/blowing snow) it was a winter wonderland and made for an amazing backdrop.
Teja contacted me mid-February inquiring about an engagement session with her and her fiance, Joe, and I loved the though of doing their winter engagement session at the Presque Isle in Marquette, one of the places they brought up as a location. Always a favorite of mine, for sure! Teja was visiting Joe from Minnesota, and like most sessions where they had a small window for the session so fingers were crossed the weather would cooperate for us. The morning of the session it was gorgeous. Sunny, and not a cloud in the sky! But it was COLD! On the way to the session my car registered below zero, but thankfully but the start of the session it had warmed up into the 20's. Still cold, but that sun did feel amazing!!
This couple could not be ANY more beautiful, or in love. We had our session on the first day that spring was just starting to peek thru...the temps were still cold, but warm enough that we didn't freeze the first five minutes. Obviously they didn't mind ;) Their late summer/fall wedding is going to be just gorgeous and I cannot wait!
