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!
Enjoy the preview of their engagement session:

Old Stonegate Farms - Kym and Tim

Old Stonegate Farms
Nunica, MI

Congratulations Kym and Tim! What a fun day! It was a beautiful October day in Michigan.
I loved capturing all this day entailed- the ladies all getting ready, the first look with her dad, the fall outside ceremony, the dancing Flower Man, all the way through the reception when everyone let loose. I especially loved the photos we got of their adorable baby, Valor, yawning in their arms, and Grandma’s cute reaction when during the daddy-daughter dance.

These two met during Covid, so they never officially had a first date. Tim sat down at the bar where Kym worked and it took off from there. They love getting tattoos, their dogs, and having new adventures. Tim proposed while they were taking family photos, a few days before Christmas, in Frankenmuth.
Tim, Kim, and Valor are such a beautiful family. Many blessings in your adventures ahead!

Thank you so much for choosing me to document your story.

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!
