Nolan + Emma | Glen Haven Engagement
From taking in the view from the old coast guard station and dancing down the sidewalks of the historic village to hiking the dunes and feeling like we were on top of the world, every minute with these Nolan and Emma was a blast. So thankful they were willing to climb the dunes, brave the wind, and trust the vision, because it ended up being the most stunning night on Lake Michigan.
It was all laughter with Nolan and Emma throughout their Glen Haven Engagement session.

We had met Emma a couple years prior as a bridesmaid for one our past couples. When she reached out about engagement photos, we were so happy to reunite with her and have the honor to photograph her own engagement season. Congratulations to these two!
Dane + Erin | Traverse City Engagement
Just a few days before their wedding, we met Dane and Erin face to face for the very first time. I remember thinking throughout their engagement session how peaceful and calm they seemed with their wedding less than a week away. But that’s the thing about Dane and Erin; they are so authentically themselves. They know what is important to them and what they care about, so naturally all of the other details just fall into place.

It was a beautiful evening at the end of July, wildflower fields aglow in golden summer light, when we met Dane and Erin at Maple Bay Natural Area. We frolicked (no, literally) through fields as birds flew overhead, the two of them simply delighting in each other’s company. As they night wore on and the sun began to sink in the sky, we wandered the path through the thick wood that eventually opened to the beach. It was here underneath the moon and to the song of the seagulls that we watched the sunset with these two and looked with eager anticipation to their wedding only three days away.
Scott + Jackie Engagement | Old Mission Lighthouse Park
The day of Scott and Jackie's scheduled engagement session came with a questionable forecast. Rain was predicted during the time we were supposed to be photographing. We chatted back and forth and decided to just go for it! It was quite the moody scene as the wall of dark clouds slowly made their way closer and closer. Thankfully we snuck in some beautiful photos and finished just before the rain fell.

We met them out at the Old Mission Lighthouse Park for their photos. There is such a variety of beautiful backdrops at the park--we started in the woods and followed the trail for some photos in front of the lighthouse and along the beach where we could see the rain along the horizon. It was quite the moody scene as the wall of dark clouds slowly made their way closer and closer. Thankfully we snuck in some beautiful photos and finished just before the rain fell.
We can't wait to celebrate and photograph Scott and Jackie's wedding this May!
