Allison & Nick

Growing up in the Michels family, my grandparents put great emphasis on the cousins knowing each other and keeping in touch despite the miles between us. It was a great honor and encouragement when my cousin asked that I be the photographer at her wedding. Seeing the family together and being there to capture all their special moments was super fun. And on top of the great family, it was a beautiful party in an old Delaware barn. Take a look at Allison & Nick’s wedding:

Katie & Pete // engaged

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!

Peter & Aneta // engaged

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!

Lauren & Mike

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.
