Congrats to KRISTYN AND ADAM! These two met trhough a mutual friend while working at Meijer. On their first date, Adam went over to Kristyn's and made her favorite meal, shrimp scampi, but left the shells on which made them both laugh. They have been laughing together for five and a half years. 
Adam proposed on their anniversary at his sister's house. He handmade a T-shirt for his nephew to wear, saying "Will you be my aunt?" When Kristyn turned around, Adam was on his knee.

My favorite part of their day was when the sun made the perfect appearance at the perfect spot for their ceremony. It felt like the sun was washing them in warmth and good wishes. It looked amazing, sun flare streaming as they were at the altar.

I'm so happy for these two! Best wishes for your new adventures! Go Packers! Enjoy your preview:

Founders Brewing - Caitlin and Tara

Grand Rapids, MI
Engagement Session

Congratulations Caitlin and Tara! Their first date was actually at Founders! So, it worked out that we ended up here because of the rain. It was nice, rainy romantic, and as always-great craft beer. These ladies are oh-so-super cute. I loved this session.

They met through work and were together for two years before Caitlin proposed, at the Detroit Zoo, under all the Christmas lights. I know, right?! How beautiful. What's even sweeter is that Tara was planning on proposing as well, and had a ring for Caitlin at home!

We are all excited for their wedding in October of 2018! I photographed Caitlin's sister's wedding. If you didn't catch Erin and Bryan's wedding, you can check it out here: http://lookatthebiggerpicture.com/blog/apple-mountain-resort-wedding . They also had one of my favorite engagement sessions.

So, I am ecstatic and honored to be documenting more of the Calcutt family's adventures!

Snowy Winter Grand Rapids Engagement- Jess and Kayla

Grand Rapids, MI

Congratulations to Jess and Kayla! What a beautiful and cold winter day in Michigan!!  These ladies actually live in Lansing, and were such troopers for this session!! I think their hands were about to fall off. It was a ton of fun traipsing in the snow with them, though!! I think they should use these images for their Christmas cards... I hope they remember this... The shots in the woods- we were all up to our knees in snow.  It was really cool to be out in the middle of the white silence. Very romantic. And cold. Did I say that?

So, these two chicas and I made a great fit right from the consultation. We were just getting more and more excited and were hugging by the end of the consult. Jess and Kayla  are awesome. They are getting hitched in Marquette this summer, and I AM SO EXCITED!!! It will be a very laid-back beachy affair. We will be hitting some really cool spots for pictures, and then celebrating on the water. Whoo hooo!! I cannot wait!! Please stay tuned!
