Zach + Wendy | Maple Bay Engagement
It’s no surprise that Northern Michigan holds a special place in the hearts of many. For Zach and Wendy, Traverse City marked their very first trip together as a couple and it was a no brainer for them to have portraits in such a meaningful area. To celebrate their engagement, we explored Maple Bay Natural area, documenting on both digital and film as they traipsed through wildflower fields, popped champagne on the beach, and danced along the shoreline while the sun set.
Sam + Mimi | Proposal at The Mill
These photos from last year transport us right back to those joyful moments. The sound of the river, the smell of fresh brewed coffee, and the glow of the sunlight pouring through the windows. Sam and Mimi instantly felt like friends and they were so easy to celebrate. It was such an honor to have witnessed and documented this milestone in their lives.
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.
Blake + Chloe Engagement | Maple Bay Natural Area
As the sun set quickly and the evening light faded, Blake and Chloe traipsed along the beach hand in hand. We spent the mid-summer night talking about all their wedding plans for the following year, dreaming and scheming about all the beautiful details that were yet to unfold.
Glen Haven Engagement | Jake + Marina
Last summer, we met up with Jake and Marina in Glen Haven for their engagement session. They brought along their dog to join in on some of the fun—chasing them through the fields, getting up close and personal with the camera, and excitedly running along the Lake Michigan shoreline.
Joel + Emily | Traverse City Engagement
It was a beautiful Memorial Day weekend when we met up with Joel and Emily in Traverse City for their engagement photos. They brought along their dog, Finley to join in the fun. We walked around the trails at Olsen Bridge, played fetch with Finley, and found the prettiest bush absolutely overflowing with lilacs.
