Grand Rapids Engagement Photography - Kasey + Kourtney

Kasey, Kourtney, and I met up at the Kent City Lounge (dive bars are kind of my jam) before the session to loosen up some of those pre session jitters. I always love guiding my clients to cool locations, but I really love when they have their own ideas and I get to shoot somewhere new! Both of their parents have some really cool property, and the sunset was KILLER. They were so giggly and comfortable around each other, it really made the whole session fly by. I CANNOT WAIT for their wedding next summer, it’s been a long time in the making and I know it will be a beautiful day. OH and take a second to read the sign their daughter wrote…. It’s like really cute.

Whitehall Engagement Photographer - Kiara + Dominic

I love when I meet two people with a similar vision to my own. Kiara and Dominic are getting married at the Michillinda Lodge in Whitehall, Mi, a beautiful location right on Lake Michigan. Before their engagement/family session we went to the venue to walk around and check it out, and omg I'm so excited! I actually have two weddings there this summer, and I can't wait. I just love the water and everything about Lake Michigan. After getting a feel for Michillinda, we went down the road to Duck Lake State Park. There they have Duck Lake, and a little channel leading to Lake Michigan, where the sun was so perfectly setting. We lucked out with such a beautiful day and sunset, I hope their wedding brings the same weather! I'm so excited for these two and for the new family they've formed. Congratulations Kiara and Dominic!
