This coffee shop engagement with Caleb + Lara makes me smile. Lara is a friend of mine from high school and it brings me much joy to see her so happy with Caleb! They are truly a great match. We started out staying warm with a cup of coffee and moved out into the cold Michigan weather, but Lara + Caleb were troopers. The best part is, the sun decided to make an appearance right before sunset and we were able to snag a few photos with the golden sun. Congratulations to Lara + Caleb!

I am super excited to be sharing Katy + Ryan's engagement pictures with you all. I was lucky enough to photograph Ryan's sisters wedding earlier this year where I met Katy + Ryan and now it is their turn to tie the knot and I am thrilled to be the one documenting it! I drove down to Katy + Ryan near Ann Arbor and they took me to some great spots. Their dog, Colt even stole the show for a few shots.... I am a sucker for dogs and he was more than adorable. Next up, Katy + Ryan's wedding in Traverse city; can't wait!

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!

Kenzie + Drew's entire day was full of special people, unique decor, and tasteful fashion and I didn't expect anything less from Kenzie + Drew going into their wedding day. I love Kenzie and Drew because they are always themselves and everything about their wedding day screamed Kenzie + Drew. Can I just start out by telling you about Kenzie's dress? Kenzie wore her moms wedding dress. She came to a family friend with her vision and her moms dress and she came out with this amazing dress that was originally her moms. That alone made the wedding amazing... but it is Kenzie + Drew... so you know they had SO many more meaningful parts of their day. Drew's grandpa and uncle are pastors and they married Kenzie and Drew in front of all of their family and friends. Kenzie has a tattoo on her forearm with part of the lyrics from "You are my Sunshine." Kenzie got this tattoo a few years back because when we was young she would always sing it with her grandpa and of course, Kenzie's grandpa sang it during their ceremony (happy tear). By far, my very favorite part of the day was when Kenzie and Drew saw each other for the first time as Kenzie walked down the isle. It was an extremely emotional moment for both Kenzie and Drew and everyone else in the church. There were so many happy tears... and happy tears are the BEST. Congratulations to my friends and high school sweet hearts, Kenzie + Drew!
