Rockford Michigan Engagement Session- Lawrence and Jenica

Rockford, MI

Congratulations to Lawrence and Jenica! The first date was a homemade scavenger hunt at the Rivertown Mall. Despite the wild uncertainty during those times, the one constant thing quickly became their love for each other. These two have a mutual love for all things sports, especially Ohio State football and USWNT Soccer. Their fervor for athletics has them working in that field as well, with Jenica pursuing a career in Athletic Training and Lawrence making time to coach high school football. They enjoy the outdoors, music, and spending time with friends and family.

Jenica and Lawrence had their first picture together taken in downtown Rockford, MI, which was a surprise but made this shoot even cooler.

Riverside Park Engagement- Samantha and Seth

Riverside Park
Grand Rapids, MI

Congratulations to Samantha and Seth! So excited for these two loveducks. So fun and warm (nice because it was a cold day in October!), genuine, and easy to feel right at home with them.

They met online and both knew they had something special right away. They found out they had actually met before. Both Sam and Seth played lacrosse and had the same memory about that game, when Sam gave Seth a hard time and heckled him, but he called her out on it. Seth’s team ended up annihilating Sam’s.

Fast forward a few years together, the two were up north with family for the 4th of July at the lake, with cornhole tournaments and all. Seth said a prayer after the national anthem and proposed.

Stay tuned for their big day in December!

Grand Rapids Engagement- Shanna and Chris

Congratulations Shanna and Chris! These two met at karaoke night at Kale’s, when Chris was hosting. He kept asking Shanna out and she kept blowing him off, until the day she didn’t… He proposed on their three year anniversary. It was a complete surprise when he got down on one knee, while they were cooking tacos at home in sweatpants.

Celebrating their engagement was so fun. We started casually at home with their doggie, Finn. Then we went to Kale’s, where they first met (and is unfortunately closing now, so those photos will be extra special), and The Blue Bridge.

I noticed while shooting this session that Shanna’s tattoo of the arrow on her arm now points straight to her ring. “An arrow needs to be pulled back before it can soar... “ I thought it was so meaningful. So happy for my friend. I hope these two soar into new wonderful adventures! I am ecstatic that I get to document their big one, coming next year…

Enjoy the preview!
