Paul & Elizabeth: Engaged! (Grand Rapids Wedding Photographer)

April 9, 2024




Meeting new couples is always a blast! And let me tell you, I've got quite the lineup of engagement sessions on the horizon with some fabulous clients who are gearing up for their big days. But let's talk about Paul and Elizabeth! These two are an absolute delight, and I actually had the pleasure of meeting them a few weeks back.

Picture this: Starbucks, coffee in hand, and an hour of non-stop chatter about weddings, photography, and all the excitement leading up to their October celebration. It was like catching up with old friends!

Fast forward a few weeks, and I had the joy of spending some quality time with them during their engagement session. Paul and Elizabeth are the epitome of sweetness and love. Seriously, you can practically feel the sparks flying between them! We strolled down memory lane, visiting meaningful spots like the Blue Bridge, where Paul popped the question, and the GRAM, an early date of theirs from back when their love story first began.

Needless to say, it was an absolute pleasure getting to know them better and capturing some magical moments along the way. And hey, the best part? You'll be seeing more of these lovebirds when their big day rolls around this fall!

But for now, kick back, relax and soak in the pure joy radiating from their beaming smiles in the photos from their engagement session. Trust me, it's contagious :D





So happy I found you.




A whole lot of LOVE!





Love the "look at each other" shots ;)



A little twirl in the city!




UGH! My FAVORITE!!!


This about sums it up!




Such real smiles! I love it!



You guys are amazing!

Hocking Hills & Blackrock Summit (Fine Art Photographer)

April 2024

It's been a slow start to the year, but things are about to pick up speed again very soon! In the meantime, I made the most of spring break by spending quality time with my family and our close friends, exploring a few new places together.

I also treated myself to a new 24-70mm Nikkor lens for my zii6 (you are welcome, 2024 clients!), and I couldn't wait to put it to use during our outings. I captured a variety of shots, and I'm excited to share some of them here with you before driving back into wedding season (only 16 more days to go!).

This cool rock formation created a whirlpool in the river!

Gorgeous lighting as we walked by this spot!
