I recently had the chance to spend the afternoon wandering around some landmarks of Lansing with Katie & Pete. I’ve somewhat known both of them for a few years, but it’s been great to get to know them better in the recent weeks, and it was super fun to wander around our great city together. Here’s a taste of Katie & Pete’s engagement photos, as well as a glimpse at our great city!
Harvest time! Comfy sweaters, hay rides, pumpkin ales, hot cider, apple orchards – nobody can say no to all the goodness that this time of year brings. Peter & Aneta asked me to join them as they revisited the site of their first date: The Country Mill in central Michigan. I really enjoyed working with them, and we had a ton of fun picking apples, eating apples, and grabbing some photos in the process. Enjoy this look at their very autumnal engagement photos!
The final weekend in September turned out to feel much more like summer than a cold fall day, typical of Michigan this time of year. What better way to spend it than hanging out at the beach and pier on Michigan’s west side?! Here are some photos of Megan & Dan & the beach on which they’ve taken many a walk. Congrats to the newly engaged couple!
The sky threatened us all morning, but just in time, the sun broke through and drove away all the clouds. What began as a gloomy and rainy day ended as the perfect backdrop for this Michigan backyard wedding. It was a joy seeing this group of friends celebrate Lauren and Mike as they begin this new stage of life together.
These two. Sometimes I ask myself why I’m so frequently present for some of the happiest and most memorable moments of people’s lives. Yes, I may have been asked to be someone’s photographer, but there are other times when it’s truly a privilege to be present for a few minutes of someone’s life. This is how I felt with Doug & Lindsey just moments after Doug popped a knee.
These two people are some of the smiliest, friendliest, and most loving people I know. If you’ve met either of them before, I’m sure you’ve experienced their amazing smiles and even greater hugs! These two have a genuine care for others, and as a friend, I was incredibly honored to be asked to photograph their wedding. Spending the day with them I was reminded how much Kevin and Kelly are cared for, and how much they show their care for others.
