Lisa and Randy - Kalamazoo engagement photos

“Do you want to bring Myrtle?” Lisa asked Randy as we sat discussing engagement photo ideas.
Much to my delight, Myrtle turned out to be Randy’s VW camper van that has been the source of many adventures over the 18 years he’s owned it. I love when a couple adds in personal details to their engagement session; It’s the little things that tell the story of who they are, and where they’re going.
Lisa and Randy are beautiful souls, with so many wonderful memories together, and so many more to come.
Congratulations on the engagement love birds! Your Arcadia Brewing Company wedding is going to be fantastic as all get out.

Hannah and Zach - Fort Custer engagement

Hannah and Zach moved to Michigan from Colorado, and brought their adventurous nature and love of the outdoors with them. Genuinely wonderful people who enjoy craft beer, snowboarding, and the Denver Broncos (Our Sunday engagement session meant we were all keeping tabs on the score via Zach’s cell phone updates. Zach knows what’s up).
After a week straight of rain, we ended up with the most perfect, sunny golden hour just in time for them to kill their portraits like pros.

We had a fantastic time, and I am wildly thrilled to celebrate their Bell’s Brewery wedding next year!

Mr and Mrs Roberts - Southern Exposure wedding

When we shot Billy and Kelsey’s engagement session earlier this year, I could tell they had an adventurous side. They’re the type of people that aren’t quick to let anything get them down because being together is what really matters. I absolutely love that about them, so when the forecast leading up to their wedding day called for nothing but straight rain, I wasn’t worried. The umbrellas were packed and the energy was high.
Well, this is Michigan, and the entire day’s prediction was changing hour by hour. The ceremony was moved indoors to be safe at the last minute, but we had a few dry skies here and there that we absolutely took advantage of! Kelsey didn’t stop smiling the entire day, and the whole wedding party was 100% down to grab umbrellas and adventure outside for photos. I’m so so happy with the results, it just goes to show there’s nothing to fear about a little rain on your wedding day.

Congratulations Mr and Mrs Roberts!
