It was a crisp spring evening when we met up with Connor and Christine for the first time at Maple Bay Natural Area for their engagement photos. Despite the chilly bite in the air, Connor and Christine embraced the night and kept each other close for warmth. We meandered through the fields and woods before finally ending on the beach.

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.

We met up with Matt and Lynden in early spring for their engagement session in Glen Haven. They brought their sweet pup along for the adventure and we spent some time wandering around the area, admiring the views, and finally ending on the beach.

We met with Phil and Hannah in June at Port Oneida for their engagement photos. It was a perfectly golden sunny day and spring was on full display. There is always something so ethereal about watching the world come back to life after a long winter.

These two were the absolute cutest. There was so much tears and laughter as she said yes and tried on her ring for the first time. Tommy pointed us out across the bridge because Caroline hadn’t even noticed us in the midst of it all.

Despite the chilly temperatures and slippery slopes, Zac and Joelle were up for the hike. They stood there, hand and hand with the icy blue lake stretching on and on beyond them. It created the illusion of being on top of the world.
