Gerrit + Abby | Engagement

Gerrit and Abby are magical together and it was such a special privilege to be able to capture their relationship on camera.

Gerrit and Abby bring out the best versions of each other when they are together. The first time we met face to face was at their engagement session, yet it felt just like catching up with best friends. With their husky Worf in tow, we spent the evening exploring Port Oneida, learning more about their story, and laughing the deepest belly laughs ever. These two are magical together and it was such a special privilege to be able to capture their relationship on camera.

Brad + Samantha | Intimate Traverse City Wedding

A quiet simple gathering is what Brad and Samantha chose for their wedding celebration. Nestled peacefully on Old Mission peninsula, they said their vows on the lawn overlooking the Lake before meandering inside for an intimate dinner and speeches later in the night.

Daniel + Julia | Northern Michigan Wedding

Like many of our Spring weddings last year, it rained the morning of Daniel and Julia’s wedding day. But instead of disappointment, Daniel and Julia chose joy in the weather. In a romantic movie-like twist, they met for their private vows in the botanic garden in the middle of the pouring rain.

At the lavender farm they made a last-minute rain call— deciding to go for it with an outdoor ceremony. Lo and behold, the rain held off and later the clouds parted for full and glorious sunshine for the rest of the evening.

Congratulations Daniel and Julia—we loved celebrating you two and your joy.

Jane + Ben | Romantic Traverse City Wedding

Their wedding day was an overflow of all these good things. Watching the two of them together and everyone surrounding them, it was clearer than ever that God brought them together and it was always meant to be, Jane and Ben.

I remember when Jane first told me about Ben.

Soon after, I had her over for coffee and we talked about the first time they met. Her eyes lit up as she described their very first date.

Later on, we had the two of them over and talked for hours over homemade pizza and wine. We bonded over our mutual love of coffee, people, and Jesus. Late into the night, as we sat around the dining table, they shared their story with us once again.

Luke + Katherine | Glen Haven Engagement

Luke and Katherine have a love that is so radiant it’s a wonder to behold.

Our first time meeting face to face as at their engagement session in Glen Haven. Here we got to witness first hand how these two loved each other—with depth, with honesty, and with romantic intensity.

We spent the evening laughing hard, climbing the dunes, and photographing the insane chemistry between the two of them.

As the sun set them aglow in a deep crimson, Luke and Katherine held each other close and drank it all in: the sunset, the peaceful quiet of the evening, and the countdown until their wedding day.
