Rockhill Studio // Casey + Del, Marquette Engagement Photographer

Sometimes during an engagement session, you have a couple who are just perfect together.  I mean, JUST PERFECT.  That was the case with Casey and Del.  These two know the hardships of a long-distance relationship, with much over their time spent with a literal ocean between them, so the time they do spend together is extra special...and I could see that in every aspect of their engagement session.  

We had an amazing time wandering around Marquette, Michigan for their session!  So many laughs, lots of cuddles, and the most perfect Northern Michigan summer evening.  I was super excited to share some from this session, but waited till the couple "officially" became engaged...about a month or two after their photo shoot.  So, instead of posting a ton on our facebook page, I'll just make a blog post about it, yay!

Rockhill Studio // Traverse City Wedding Photographer Magazine Feature

Earlier this year while we were getting prepared to photograph Christy and Mike's wedding day, I got a call from the editor of the MiBrew magazine, a publication put on by the Michigan Brewers Guild.  The editor said they were doing a feature on the bride (Christy) and was wondering if I'd be up for using one of my images from the wedding day as their magazine cover.  

ABSOLUTELY!

This couple is very enthusiastic about craft beer, and it was fitting that on the wedding day, we went to a local brewery for a quick drink, getting some pictures with the couple and their wedding party.  It made the perfect backdrop for shooting the cover of the magazine!  I was thrilled for this amazing couple and the opportunity to have their big day featured in such an amazing way!! 

Much thanks to MiBrew magazine and this couple for the incredible opportunity!!

Rockhill Studio // Ryan + Nicole, Marquette, MI Engagement

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...

Rockhill Studio // Emma + Matt, Michigan to Minnesota Destination Wedding

The best thing in the world is when clients turn friends.  I've had the immense pleasure of photographing the Lemanski family numerous times starting in the fall of 2015 when I photographed Matt's sister and her fiancé for their engagement session.  Soon after that session, Emma and Matt got engaged and I was beyond thrilled to also book them for their wedding in Minnesota for...

Kory and Chelsea...I cannot say enough amazing things about this couple!  I remember chatting with them about their wedding day during the engagement session (which you can view HERE if you wish!) and I remember thinking about how excited I was with all they described and had planned.  As the big day drew closer and we finalized the wedding day photography details, my excitement grew and grew and this spectacular wedding did not disappoint!  This wedding on this hot summer day was...

Rockhill Studio // Upper Peninsula Spring Wedding, Eric and Erica

Eric and Erica's wedding day was a fairytale.  From before the wedding all the way thru the reception, everything was magical.  Erica's family has a beautiful cottage on Twin Lakes in Newberry, Michigan and we even shot their amazing engagement session here and on their property just down the road back in the fall of 2015.  It's Erica's "happy place" and everything that day was perfect.

Rockhill Studio // Haley + Sam, Marquette Engagement Photographer

Haley and Sam are two amazing people that together make such a beautiful couple.  Haley was one of my first 2017 weddings to book, so we've been looking forward to this engagement session for a few months now.  When she mentioned doing the session at Presque Isle in Marquette, Michigan, I knew this would be an amazing session.  I mean, Presque Isle is one of my FAVORITES to shoot at (I've blogged several sessions from there, you can totally see why!) and always love the chance to shoot there whenever possible.  But also, I knew this session would be wonderful from corresponding with Haley these...

Rockhill Studio // Why Choose a Wedding Album?

You said "I do", tied the knot, had an incredible wedding day.  The images we captured are beautiful and look amazing in your online gallery.  Now what?  Choosing an album with a wedding package, or adding one on, is something I'm always pleased with when a couple books a package.  Why?  Because it's one thing to display your images online to oooh and aaaah over, but holding them in your hand, printed in a fine art album, is a whole other experience.  It's not just a book.  It's a showstopper.  A family heirloom that your kids and their kids will look over and dream about their own wedding someday.  A reflection of the best day of...

Rockhill Studio // Emma + Matt, Northern Michigan Winter Engagement

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...
