Jack + Tatum Engaged
We loved photographing these portraits for my brother Jack and his fiancée the day they got engaged. Jack proposed earlier in the day with just the two of them, but we met them at our favorite coffee shop Mundos Roasting & Co. to congratulate them and capture a few portraits of the two of them together.

Jack proposed earlier in the day with just the two of them, but we met them at our favorite coffee shop Mundos Roasting & Co. to congratulate them. It was fitting to snap a few photos of the two of them there since Jack is the head coffee roaster of the shop. Afterward we drove a few minutes down the road to a local park downtown and took a few more portraits of the two of them together. Congratulations Jack + Tatum!

Traverse City Winter Proposal | James + Chelsea
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!
"Chelsea loves the Traverse City area. We like the outdoor and eating good food. I think that is what our weekend up there is going to be like and I would love to fit the perfect proposal in there as we do all the things we love."
James reached out to us with his plans to propose to his girlfriend Chelsea during a weekend visit to Traverse City. We set up a phone call to discuss the details and location for the proposal. When the day came, we bundled up and waited (with our cameras hidden under our winter coats) for James and Chelsea to arrive at the Marina. James knelt down on one knee and that was our cue to whip our cameras out to document the moment when Chelsea said yes.
We wandered around the marina to capture a few portraits of the two of them, while Chelsea admired her new ring and the two of them shared the happiest smiles and laughter.
We are always honored to photograph proposals--the beginning of the rest of their lives together. Congratulations James and Chelsea!
Mark and Lindsay | Winter Engagement Portraits
As is with most winter days in Northern Michigan, it was frigidly cold. But Mark and Lindsay held each other close and kept each other warm despite the wind and snow. By the end of their session our noses were red and our mouths were numb but it was so so worth it for the beautiful winter engagement portraits we were able to capture

By the end of their session our noses were red and our mouths were numb but it was so so worth it for the beautiful winter engagement portraits we were able to capture. We knew instantly that their wedding was going to be just as beautiful and we were definitely not disappointed--we can't wait to share their wedding photos on the blog soon!
New Years Day Portraits | Alec + Audrey
It was a joy to spend New Years Day photographing Alec and Audrey's engagement photos. We had fresh snow beneath our feet as we trekked out into the woods behind her parents' home where we found a beautiful scene. String lights hung between the trees guiding a path through the forest
It was a joy to spend New Years Day photographing Alec and Audrey's engagement photos. We had fresh snow beneath our feet as we trekked out into the woods behind her parents' home where we found a beautiful scene. String lights hung between the trees guiding a path through the forest. We stopped here and there amidst the trees and stood back to capture Alec and Audrey's interactions. We had the sweetest time laughing with them and getting to know them. We loved capturing their engagement and wedding (which will also be coming to the blog at some point!). Congratulations Alec + Audrey!
Winter Proposal | Dilon + Stephanie | Tandem Ciders
It was a beautifully snowy day shortly after Christmas when we took the trip out to Tandem Ciders to photograph Dilon and Stephanie's surprise winter proposal. Through happy tears, Stephanie said yes and Dilon slipped her new engagement ring onto her finger.
It was a beautifully snowy day shortly after Christmas when we took the trip out to Tandem Ciders to photograph Dilon and Stephanie's surprise winter proposal. Thankfully, it was pretty easy to hide our cameras under our bulky winter coats so Stephanie wouldn't be clued into what was about to happen. As she made her way back to their picnic table area with their drinks, Dilon got down on one knee and we whipped our cameras out to photograph the moment and her reaction. Through happy tears, Stephanie said yes and Dilon slipped her new engagement ring onto her finger. They took a few moments to sip their drinks and revel in the excitement before the rest of their 'mini' engagement session. Congratulations to Dilon and Stephanie! It was such an honor to be a part of such a happy moment in your lives. Thanks for trusting us to document it.
Ann Arbor Engagement | Matt and Rachael
When Matt and Rachael booked their wedding with us, we knew we would be doing an engagement session for them as well. It was a perfect October morning for a short road trip to Ann Arbor.
When Matt and Rachael booked their wedding with us, we knew we would be doing an engagement session for them as well. It was a perfect October morning for a short road trip to Ann Arbor. Matt and Rachael were so sweet and we even brought Edith along in a baby carrier as we ventured around Nichols Arboretum finding pretty pockets of light here and there amongst the gorgeous greenery. We took our time hiking through the area, chatting and laughing with Matt and Rachael, and getting to know them and their story. It was such a lovely morning and we loved getting to hang out with them again THIS October to photograph their wedding in Traverse City.
