Amanda & Chad are a perfect match, I think these images show perfectly how genuine, fun, and comfortable these two are together. We started the session in front of a cozy fireplace at home with the cutest pup. Meet Bear, their newest addition to the family and full of that adorable puppy spunk. He was definitely more interested in playtime rather than picture time, as any puppy would, but I caught a few great moments with him. We had an unusually awesome March day with warmth and sun so we headed out to a few special Grand Rapids spots for the rest of the evening to enjoy the celebration of being newly engaged. Can I just say that I think I'm obsessed with Amanda's pear cut engagement ring. Thank you both for a wonderful evening of laughter, wedding day is going to be a blast!
I take for granted just how many amazing pieces of art we have around Grand Rapids, mostly because of Art Prize, and there's something new and unique every year. It is truly something special here in my city, and it was finally time to incorporate one of my favorite murals into a photo session (I've had my eye on it for a while) Amanda and Bryan were definitely over due for a night out together away from their two little ones, luckily their engagement session here inGrand Rapids was a great excuse for a date night. We started in my lovely downtown studio with some wine, and then headed out downtown for sunset. Who knew that February would feel like spring, Michigan weather is so so crazy but in this case I had no complaint. Thanks for spending your date night with me, it's was a blast hanging out with you two! Looking forward to that special wedding day.
Beautiful love under a glowing fall backdrop, what could be more perfect.
I loved spending this crazy warm November evening with Jessi + Steven. We had a lot of laughs and made the best of the late Fall and the beautiful leaves. Steven is constantly making Jessi laugh and it's adorable. Congratulations on your engagement, Steven + Jessi!
