Tyler had reached out to let us know his plans to propose to his girlfriend Sara on a trip to Traverse City. So we set up a plan and arrived at the Traverse City Marina on a beautiful June evening for the most splendid golden sunset photos.

James reached out to us with his plans to propose to his girlfriend Chelsea during a weekend visit to Traverse City. We are always honored to photograph proposals–the beginning of the rest of their lives together. Congratulations James and Chelsea!

We were so excited to learn that Michael’s surprise Mackinac Island proposal. It was the most perfect day and lovely ferry ride to the island. We had blue sky and lilacs blooming all around the island. We arrived quite a bit early in order to soak in the beauty of the island ourselves, and to scout out the ideal position for the actual proposal.
