Ben + Vina Engagement | Glen Haven Sand Dunes
The whole world was quiet and calm as it was not yet busy season for the Sleeping Bear Dunes—it felt like we had all of Glen Haven to ourselves. It was the perfect time to get to know Ben and Vina before their wedding day. By the end of the evening, we felt like we had made new friends and couldn’t wait to see them again for their wedding less than a month later.
It was an overcast and moody spring day when we met up with Ben and Vina for their engagement session in Glen Haven. Lake Michigan shone a pale greyish blue against the cloudy skies as we hiked the dunes. As we reached one of the peaks we could see the Lake below us—vast and calm. Behind us, rolling dunes and even further, a sea of evergreens and various other trees that were not yet fully leafed. It was quite the breathtaking view from every direction with Ben and Vina looking out and taking in the scene all around.

Tom and Jenn | October Engagement
Last October, Tom reached out to us with his plans to propose to his girlfriend, Jenn. He wanted to schedule an engagement session shortly after the proposal in order to capture the beautiful Fall colors in Traverse City.
Last October, Tom reached out to us with his plans to propose to his girlfriend, Jenn. He wanted to schedule an engagement session shortly after the proposal in order to capture the beautiful Fall colors in Traverse City. The moody sky made for an even more dramatic contrast to the pops of color amongst the trees. Tom and Jenn even brought along their sweet pup to join in a few of the photos. We loved capturing and celebrating their sweet October engagement with them. Check out some of our favorites below.
Rainy Engagement | Adam + Laura
This rainy engagement session turned into one of my all time favorites. We are so thankful for adventurous couples who trust our vision, despite what the circumstances might look like. Thanks to Adam and Laura for frolicking in the rain with us and being the perfect subjects for a moody, romantic engagement session.
When Adam and Laura made the drive up to Glen Haven for their engagement session, the forecast threatened some light sprinkles but claimed it would all pass through before we began their session. However, as those who live in Northern Michigan know, living on the lake means unpredictable weather. We made the drive out anyway and met them at the beach to scope out the weather and see if it would hold off. Alas, the forecast now showed a promise of rain through the night.
We proposed the idea to Adam and Laura of postponing their main engagement session until later in the year. They agreed but since they had driven all that way, we still wanted to have some fun with the situation. We asked them if they would be up for playing in the rain with us for twenty minutes just to see what we could create.
