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!

The Traverse City State Hospital hosts such a variety of scenes that no matter how many times we photograph there, it feels like we discover something new. From the old dilapidated brick asylum with ivy crawling up in every corner, to beautiful blooming bushes and huge drooping pine trees. It’s a delightful location for exploring and we are overjoyed when our work brings us here so often.

Nick and Amy are a testament to how much we love Traverse City engagement sessions. Tucked away at the quiet, serene Oleson Bridge Trail-head, these two were full of laughter and real connection. They seriously could not stop smiling and had us giggling right alongside them.
