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.

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.

Last October, Tom reached out to us with his plans to propose to his girlfriend, Jenn. He wanted to schedule an engagement session shortly after the proposal in order to capture the beautiful Fall colors in Traverse City.

After getting rained on during their original engagement session date, we decided to schedule a second session for Adam and Laura to hopefully spend a bit more time capturing portraits of the two of them and their sweet pup, Callie.

This rainy engagement session turned into one of my all time favorites. We are so thankful for adventurous couples who trust our vision, despite what the circumstances might look like. Thanks to Adam and Laura for frolicking in the rain with us and being the perfect subjects for a moody, romantic engagement session.

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.
