I get so excited when I find new and wonderful places to photograph couples in love. Engagement sessions give me time to get to know my bride and groom, explore new landscapes and spend time capturing their personalities and love on camera. This lovely couple stepped out on a gorgeous (albeit chilly!) Michigan day in a little wooded patch of land that had just started blooming. Patrizia, lovingly referred to as Mucki (moo-key) wore a gorgeous rent the runway gown and looked like she had stepped straight out of a fairytale. The stunning bouquet by Shelby of the Day's Design added to the romance, and I am just smitten with these gorgeous, pastel, full of light images! Here are some of my very favorites! I can't wait for Mucki and Jake's Baker Loft wedding this August! Film processed and scanned by Indie Film Lab.

I'm back today with the second half of Chris & Maryal's dreamy desert engagement. In case you missed the edgy, hip part one you can see it here!  Our second half was incredibly romantic and I am more excited than ever for their wedding later this year. Check out some of my favorites below!

You know those people in life, the ones that make you feel automatically cooler by just being around them? Maryal and Chris are those type of people and they also happen to be bright lights of personality, energy and kindness. And they are completely gorgeous to boot.

When Maryal and Chris, voices behind the blog Love & Specs, reached out about their upcoming wedding I was immediately drawn to their vision for such a special day. Their wedding, like their engagement session,  is going to be dripping in romantic elements with just the right amount of hip. With the beautiful Arizona desert landscape as a starting point, they decide to style their session with a vintage car and throwback to the rockabilly era. I am completely smitten with these images and this couple. Here are some of my favorites from the first half of their session, be sure to check back for a dreamy part 2!
