Glen Haven Engagement | John + Sarah
John and Sarah were true adventurers for their Glen Haven Engagement session last summer. Together, hand in hand, John and Sarah made the climb through rolling hills of sand. At the top they danced and laughed and we got to capture them in love.
John and Sarah were true adventurers for their Glen Haven Engagement session last summer.
Despite having lived in Northern Michigan my entire life, the beauty of its landscape continuously blows me away. Glen Haven has a range of scenery to offer. Firstly, the quaint historic village itself. Secondly, the stunning lake and beachfront. And lastly, the well known Dune Climb at Sleeping Bear Dunes accessible just beyond the hill.
Together, hand in hand, John and Sarah made the climb through rolling hills of sand. At the top they danced and laughed and we got to capture them in love. The stunning view was just an added bonus. We couldn’t have asked for a better day or a better couple who were ready and eager to trek to the prettiest places.
When the sun began its descent in the late evening as it always does mid-summer, we left the dunes behind to make the quick trip down to the little village of Glen Haven. The iconic red Glen Haven Canning Co. building is unmistakable set against the deep blue lake behind it. Dune grass surrounding the entire village matches the pale green accents on the modest white buildings and homes. The beach itself was our last stop of the night, just as the sun began to dip behind the magnificent body of water.
Sessions like these, on days like this, with couples like John and Sarah make us feel so blessed to call this our career. What a lovely glimpse into the love story John and Sarah share during their Glen Haven Engagement session. It just made us all the more excited to celebrate their wedding the next year!
Nick + Amy | Traverse City Engagement Session
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.
Traverse City Engagement Session
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. It was evident from start to finish how ready they were to spend the rest of their lives together. As photographers, we are so thankful that we got to capture their love story.
This particular trail in Traverse City is a beautiful yet quiet spot that we love frequenting during hikes together. Even better when we can bring our lovely couples here to enjoy it with us. With it's mixture of wooded and open areas, combined with a warm spring evening, it made the trail the perfect setting for Nick and Amy's Traverse City engagement session. We love being able to spend an evening our couples, getting to know them and their love of each other.
As Traverse City photographers, our goal with all our engagement sessions is to not only get beautiful, artistic photos of you and your soon-to-be spouse, but to also create a space where you two can be authentically yourselves and enjoy one another's company. In the midst of stressful wedding planning, we want to allow the time and room to simply savor the moment and remember the fact that you are marrying the love of your life! Nick and Amy modeled this idea perfectly and we had the honor of capturing their love and friendship truly and organically.
We love you Nick and Amy! Keep your eyes out for their beautiful wedding we also had the privilege of photographing later that summer. Keep your eyes peeled for that post to come shortly as well!
