Alana and Justin are engaged!

We met at Grand Haven a few weeks back for a great summer shoot on Michigan's gorgeous lakefront. I take for granted how close I live to beach and how easy it is to drive over for an afternoon stroll along the shoreline . As we were shooting I was just thinking about how long it's been since I've wandered the pier at Grand Haven with my husband by my side. Strolling along the pier, hand in hand with your one true love, watching the sun fall behind the water line....it's so peaceful and romantic. I was thrilled to be a part of that experience for Alana and Justin. Unfortunately summertime in Grand Haven is a bit chaotic so parking a fighting for good shooting spots without 10 people wandering through the background was a challenge. Alana and Justin are kindhearted people so we laughed together at slightly chaotic moments and made the most of their romantic evening at the beach. What a fun night, thank you both for a great shoot!

They are such a beautiful couple, adorable :)

Jessica and Dan are engaged!

Jessica and Dan came all the way from Virgina for their shoot, and of course it turned out to be one of the hottest most humid days of the summer, seriously it was about 100 degrees. You guys were good troopers, we were all sweating ten minutes into the shoot, but after a few air conditioner breaks we made it through. Despite the heat you both did such a great job, you are a stunning couple, looking forward to the wedding :)

Brooke and Matt are Engaged!

Brooke and Matt are such a fun couple! We met up with them at a park in Holland, and came prepared with for the bugs...I know how romantic is bug spray. Despite the heat, the bugs, and feeling sticky and stinky from bug spray Matt and Brooke were such great sports and absolutely in love. We ended at the beach to catch the sunset--so romantic! Thank you, Brooke and Matt, for a wonderful shoot, for putting up with bugs and sweltering heat, and for patiently waiting for you blog post :)

Looking forward to your wedding!

ahh, favorite!
