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.

Wildflower Engagement | Jordan + Paige | Port Oneida

Jordan and Paige’s wildflower engagement is hands down one of our top five favorite engagement photo shoots. From the dreamy wildflowers to the romantic picnic (complete with wine from their winery wedding venue), to the glowing sunset on the beach—it was nothing less than THE perfect spring day. You would never even guess that when we first arrived to Port Oneida the sky was dark and cloudy and it had started to drizzle. These two were willing to brave the weather and we were thankfully met with only the slightest rainy mist. It felt like a movie as Jordan and Paige traipsed through the prettiest wildflower fields hand in hand. Our hearts were so full to photograph the love between these two and we are counting down the days until we can celebrate with them on their wedding day.
