This adorable Lansing-based couple is getting married next summer.  Despite some uncertain Michigan weather in planning their engagement session earlier this summer, we finally caught our break and relished in the early fall weather.

I love learning my clients’ stories and personalities during their engagement sessions. Hearing how they met, got engaged and the details of their wedding day.  Nicole and John’s session was no exception and I loved working with these two!  I am always even more excited for the wedding day after working with my sweet couples.  These two have amazing style and I loved their clothing choices for their engagement session!

I’m not sure if there is anything more perfect than a warm fall day. Except perhaps capturing two people in love on said, warm fall day.

I met Lindsey and Dan on the well-groomed campus of  Cranbrook…a location I was delighted to photograph at!  Upon meeting this sweet couple, I knew we were in for a great session. These two are warm, sincere and authentic together. I greatly enjoyed our session and am eager for the wedding next summer!

Stephanie and Bryce were married two years ago in undeniably one of the sweetest ceremonies I’ve been witness to.  The ceremony took place outside a little schoolhouse off a country road in Northern Michigan. Bryce sang his vows. Their dog Morty was the only member of their wedding party.  Their guests were treated to sweet homemade pies and handmade favors and the music by Bear Lake (which by the way is one very talented Michigan band) had everyone dancing.  I still have clients mention their sweet wedding.

Two years later, we both happened to be in Glen Arbor on the same weekend…their anniversary weekend…and it was too perfect not to return to the scene of where they said their vows and do an anniversary session. It’s no surprise I adore these two and had way too much fun seeing and working with them again.  Bryce had his guitar again and I shot while he sang and played. Stephanie (a budding photographer herself!) sang along with him. As the sun glowed warmly in the late day, I couldn’t imagine being anywhere else.

You know when you just click with someone?  Like your emails have the same amount of exclamation points and smiley emoticons? That was my first experience with Jessie when she first contacted me this past spring for their wedding next summer.  I instantly knew I wanted to work with this effervescent girl and when they booked with me I couldn’t have been more excited!

I finally got a chance to meet this dynamic couple earlier this week and meeting them in person was as authentic as our correspondence.  Jessie is a bubbly and sweet. Jeff handsome, well-spoken, and adoring of his fiance’.  The two together are as sweet as they get and I greatly enjoyed capturing this time in their lives!

These two love the Detroit Tigers and their session wouldn’t have been complete without putting their hats on to show their shared love for a team they watch together.

Stacy and Brandon are planning a destination wedding later this fall but before they tie the knot, they wanted some engagement pictures to celebrate this milestone in their lives!

There is something so romantic about walking in a field in the late-day, glowy light.  Especially in an open field!  These two embrace the outdoors together, often camping, and what better way to document these two than in an environment they love.  I loved getting to know these two, and their son!, and wish them a lifetime of happiness.

Stacy and Brandon also have a son together and no session would be complete without some pictures of the whole family together.  How adorable is this little one?! Hearing his laugh made us all burst out in laughter.
