Christy and Derrick knew very quickly that they were a match. They were in a wedding together, she was the bridesmaid and he was a groomsman- and the two hit it off immediately…he put a ring on her finger and the rest is history.  I met the two of them at Wildwood a few weeks ago for an evening engagement session. It was a perfect setting especially since he had proposed at this park just a few short months ago.  We walked around the park to different areas and we ended out by the yellow trail while the sun was glowing behind us.  Christy, I love your joyous laugh and I think the images  with your head back, letting out a gleeful giggle are some of my favorites.

I met Ashly and Brian the other day at Hidden Lake Gardens up in Tipton, Michigan for their engagement portraits.  I was blown away by the chemistry these two had!   All I had to do was use our new JEM word “shnuzzle” and they were on it!  Just giggling and being so much in love together.   There’s nothing better than rolling around in a field on a beautiful fall day!  Right?  Right.  Thanks to Ashly and Brian for rolling around in the field for me for these beautiful pics!

Ashly and Brian -  I loved documenting your love!  You two are so adorable together.  Hold on tight to what you have because not a lot of people are blessed enough with such amazing chemistry.  Thanks for everything, the laughs, the outfits and awesome schnuzzling for my camera!  Oh and Ashly, you are so very beautiful!  I hope you know that!  I could literally photograph you for days! 

I met Elizabeth and Brad at Swan Creek Park this past Sunday on what I think was one of the most beautiful fall days I can remember.  Awesome light, sun, breeze, colors… loved it all!  Perfect for a love shoot like this one.  I’m so excited to be photographing Elizabeth and Brad’s wedding next June and it was so fun to get some engagement portraits to start. 

Thank you Elizabeth & Brad.  Hope the trip home went well!

What a great shoot the other day with Abi and Codey.  We met at Abi’s parents’ house out in Rossford and what a beautiful property it was!  We had so many different backdrops.   It was so funny because Abi came to the door to let me in and I barely recognized her.  She has worn her hair up in every one of our meetings so I had no idea she had such beautiful long hair.  It’s such a rarity these days in my opinion.  We walked around the property, dodged the rain a few times and got some great love shots.  I have to say a special thank you to Abi’s Dad because he helped through the entire shoot with various things.  He also picked the rose you see in Abi’s hair further down in the blog.  So fitting as Abi’s middle name is Rose.  Thanks to all of you.  Looking forward to wedding day!
