Happy New Year!

I went to meet Ben + Caroline in Traverse City just four days before Christmas….and the weather was gorgeous!! Proving Michigan weather is once again ~ unpredictable… These two have such an amazing connection….it’s contagious, and I guarantee that I am not at all that funny, and these smiles are all natural *giggles* between them. They have the the two most adorable little pups, who loved my camera and tried to be in every photo We started on the 7th hole in Northport….that’s where they were engaged, and then ventured not too much further to Caroline’s mom’s home (aka-Martha Stewart Ranch) adorable~and the back property and park area where their amazing tented wedding will take place. I can only hope they experience the same lighting we did during their session….to die for. Thats really all you need for an engagement session….. good light + a couple with an amazing connection….and maybe a little grunge…which I found in the chipping lifeguard stand We finished our session in the library by the fire…..hopefully thats where you are today
Enjoy ….

They have been for a while actually , but are getting married today and after meeting them last night, I am in love with them already!! We shot these photos you see below in about 15 minutes, in the middle of their rehearsal dinner, and they were nervous about pictures…I didn’t believe them for a second!! Seriously….they are freakin’ adorable. I’m pretty sure you’re smitten by them, and you’ve never met them! Congrats you two

oh…matt + sarah. You two are adorable together. I knew within 30 seconds of meeting you Sarah that we were going to get along….like when you filled the entire third row of my Explorer with your outifit choices …and when you two grabbed the giant picture frame at sweet Chicago store and ASKED if you could do a few “photobooth” shots….need I say more??? Tim + I had so much fun running around Chicago with you. We cannot wait to shoot your wedding on the most coveted date of the year… 9 . 10 . 11 at the JW. Here are just a few of my favorites!!

I met these two in Kalamazoo…Lucas is in the Air Force..so of course we shot at the air zoo….and then other yummy locations around town. Isn’t Jillian gorgeous!! …and their connection…adorable!! I so many more sessions to share!! Enjoy a few of my favorites!

I can’t wait to shoot their adorable wedding later next fall….we had such a great time shooting there earlier this year! We went to an adorable little market and cute cupcake shop, and then the fabulous museum downtown…here are a few of my favorites!
