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.
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.
No one can make Chloe laugh quite like Blake can.

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.

Phil + Hannah | Spring Engagement
We met with Phil and Hannah in June at Port Oneida for their engagement photos. It was a perfectly golden sunny day and spring was on full display. There is always something so ethereal about watching the world come back to life after a long winter.

There is always something so ethereal about watching the world come back to life after a long winter. Suddenly the trees are budding, grass is growing, flowers are blooming, and the world is full of vibrancy and color again. Every season has it’s own beauty but I have to admit that the months in which flowers blossom are undoubtedly some of my favorites.
We spent some time learning Phil and Hannah’s love story and witnessing the sweetest interactions between the two of them. It was such a joy to photograph them together and we cannot wait to do it all again for their wedding this spring.
Downtown Traverse City Proposal | Tyler + Sara
Tyler had reached out to let us know his plans to propose to his girlfriend Sara on a trip to Traverse City. So we set up a plan and arrived at the Traverse City Marina on a beautiful June evening for the most splendid golden sunset photos.
There is something so incredibly special about proposal photography.
It is such an intimate occasion so we make sure to keep our distance while we photograph and allow the couple to soak in those blissful first few moments. Eventually they find their way over to us and we introduce ourselves (it's usually our first time meeting them both) and congratulate them!
If time allows, we take a few engagement photos so they can share the happy news with friends and family. And that is exactly what happened for Tyler and Sara's Traverse City proposal.
Tyler had reached out to let us know his plans to propose to his girlfriend Sara on a trip to Traverse City. We showed Tyler some of our recent proposal photos and he loved the location of James and Chelsea's proposal earlier that year. So we set up a plan and arrived at the Traverse City Marina on a beautiful June evening for the most splendid golden sunset photos.
