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!
Winter Engagement Lenderink Tree Farm- Jesse and Matt
Lenderink Tree Farm, Belmont MI
Congratulations Matt and Jesse!! What a beautiful snowy day we had in west Michigan for their engagement session! I hope they get a lovely day like this next December for their wedding. These two were such troopers. The free hot chocolate helped us out a bit.
Matt and Jesse have known each other for ten years. They lived on the same floor in college, did the long-distance thing in grad school, and both ended up back in Michigan years later. Matt proposed on the 4th of July, while they were at Indiana National Park with their pup, Stanley.
After observing their fun and up-for-anything attitudes, with lots of laughter and energy (from Stanley too), I am so excited for their wedding at The Cheney Place, in Grand Rapids! It’s one of my favorite venues to photograph weddings and I know it’s gonna be a good time.
Please enjoy the preview of their engagement session…
Leslie Tassell Park Engagement - Hannah and Josh
Congratulations to Hannah and Josh! These guys were such troopers! They actually got SOAKED dancing in the fountain at Leslie Tassell Park! How cool is that?!
They have been together since 2017. Josh casually proposed in their apartment, just the two of them. It was very intimate and sweet. After some changes in the planning, they will be getting married in August!!
Thank you so much for choosing me to document your story. Enjoy the preview…
