Gerrit + Abby | Engagement

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.

Rainy Engagement | Adam + Laura

When Adam and Laura made the drive up to Glen Haven for their engagement session, the forecast threatened some light sprinkles but claimed it would all pass through before we began their session. However, as those who live in Northern Michigan know, living on the lake means unpredictable weather. We made the drive out anyway and met them at the beach to scope out the weather and see if it would hold off. Alas, the forecast now showed a promise of rain through the night.

We proposed the idea to Adam and Laura of postponing their main engagement session until later in the year. They agreed but since they had driven all that way, we still wanted to have some fun with the situation. We asked them if they would be up for playing in the rain with us for twenty minutes just to see what we could create.

This rainy engagement session turned into one of my all time favorites. We are so thankful for adventurous couples who trust our vision, despite what the circumstances might look like. Thanks to Adam and Laura for frolicking in the rain with us and being the perfect subjects for a moody, romantic engagement session. Scroll on through to see some of our favorites.
