Understated Elegant Church Wedding, Albion, MI: Shannon + Thomas

I was sitting at my desk, back in March, and working my way through my Monday when I received an email in the afternoon from my college friend, Shannon. As I read the email for a moment I thought, "Oh my gosh! Did I miss her getting engaged on Facebook?!?", but as I read farther Shannon explained that her and Thomas weren't even officially engaged (the ring hadn't arrived yet!) BUT that they were starting to plan their wedding and were curious about my availability between July and September! . . .

Vintage Teal Wedding, Packard Proving Grounds, Michigan: Melissa + Jeremy

I arrived at the historic Packard Proving Grounds for Melissa and Jeremy's wedding day with so much joy and excitement in my heart! I had the opportunity to get to know Jeremy and Melissa at their engagement session last fall and they both are just so much fun, laid-back, and are always making each other laugh. Their amazing energy is palpable so I knew their wedding day was going to not only be heartfelt, but so much fun!

Coral & Navy Waterfront Wedding, Waldenwoods, MI: Anna + Michael

Anna and Michael's wedding day in Hartland, MI began with bright sunshine and not one cloud in the sky. Anna prepared to marry Michael in the bridal suite of Waldenwoods Resort while Michael put on his navy suit and fastened his bow tie along side his groomsmen in a charming, almost southern style, house on the property called the Sunshine Lodge (which was so fitting for the beautiful weather!).

Golden Marsh Engagement, New Boston, MI: Kristen + Matt

Kristen was born and raised in Florida and the Everglades were one of her favorite places to visit. Matt grew up in Michigan and spent a lot of time in the woods as a hunter. For Kristen and Matt's engagement session, they decided on Crosswinds Marsh in New Boston because it seemed to Kristen a little bit like Florida with the tall marsh-like grass and water and for Matt, he loved that the marsh was outdoors in the crisp cool air of fall!

A Dusk Sleepy Hollow Park Engagement, Lansing, MI: Megan + Shawn

Megan and Shawn love to spend time together traveling, playing soccer, and they also enjoy spending relaxing nights in the comfort of their home cooking dinner. To say that these two are fun is such an understatement and while at their Sleepy Hollow State Park and Lansing Fire Station engagement, I listened as Shawn and Megan recounted the early days of their relationship!

A Destination Presque Isle Michigan Beach Wedding: Cyndi + Scott

With the potentially freezing temperature forecast for this weekend, I thought I would feature one of the weddings that I had the honor of photographing this summer! Looking back on Cyndi and Scott's destination beach wedding I can almost feel the warm sun and gritty sand beneath my toes. . . almost. :)

Romantic Secret Garden Engagement on Michigan State Campus: Maegan + Eric

Amongst the hustle and bustle of the campus of Michigan State University there is a place that juts up against the Red Cedar River in East Lansing that is quiet, semi-secluded (if you don't count the studying co-eds), and that is a bit magical. For the engagement session of Maegan and Eric, we explored this secret garden, named WJ Beal Botanical Gardens, and I enjoyed getting to know them a bit better!
