Will + Meagan | Traverse City Wedding | The Peninsula Room
When the day arrived, it was a happy one, full to the brim of smiles and laughter and tears and various traditions they incorporated into their day. Will and Meagan were easy-going and relaxed, making everyone around them feel comfortable and loved.
My favorite thing about Meagan: Her compassion.
My favorite thing about Will: His openness and kindness. And the cappuccinos he makes me every day.
When asked their favorite things about each other, this is how Will and Meagan responded. And as we got to know them leading up to and on their wedding day, it was easy see this for ourselves. During our initial video call for all of us to ‘meet’ we quickly connected over our love of specialty coffee and were so excited chatting about the vision for their day.
When the day arrived, it was a happy one, full to the brim of smiles and laughter and tears and various traditions they incorporated into their day. Will’s goofy and fun personality shone through during their first look and dances, and Meagan showered everyone in her stunning smiles the whole day long. With a couple like them, it is no wonder how many people were there to celebrate them and their love. Being together and surrounded by their friends and families, Will and Meagan were easy-going and relaxed, making everyone around them feel comfortable and loved.
Congratulations to Will and Meagan! Thank you for trusting us to document your beautiful wedding at the Peninsula Room!

Adam + Laura Wedding | The Homestead, Glen Arbor
Anyone who knows Adam and Laura can attest to how much they both just radiate happiness. From prep all the way through to the reception, they were grinning ear to ear. It was a serene summer day in Glen Arbor on July 16th when Adam and Laura said ‘I do’.
After getting the chance to get to know Adam and Laura during not one, but TWO engagement sessions, it felt like reuniting with old friends on their wedding day. Anyone who knows Adam and Laura can attest to how much they both just radiate happiness. From prep all the way through to the reception, they were grinning ear to ear. Laura has one of those kind and beautiful smiles and laughter that is contagious—we were smiling with her all day long. And Adam is such a fun and laid back guy who adores his bride.
Their ceremony was set on the mountain top at the Homestead with a crisp blue Lake Michigan backdrop. It was a serene summer day in Glen Arbor on July 16th when Adam and Laura said ‘I do’. A day full of love, laughter, and happiness that was a joy to capture through photographs.

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
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.
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.
We met with Phil and Hannah in June at Port Oneida for their spring engagement photos. It was a perfectly golden sunny day and the beauty of the season was on full display.
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.
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!
