Traverse City Engagement Photography | Old Mission Peninsula

Engagements

One of my favorite things to do since Zach and I moved to Traverse City, Michigan has been to explore the gorgeous nature that surrounds this beautiful part of our state.

Kristen + Ryan: Downtown Traverse City Engagement Session | Northern Michigan Photographer

Engagements

Kristen and Ryan’s downtown Traverse City Engagement Session was so much fun to shoot. It doesn’t really look like it in their pictures, but it was freezing the day we did their engagement session.

They rocked their photos and I’m so excited to shoot their wedding next year. Check out their engagement photos below: Where to next? Gabby & Charles’ Country Mill Engagement Joe & […]

Gabby + Charles: A Country Mill Engagement Session

Engagements

There’s nothing quite like a Michigan apple orchard in the fall. So when Gabby said she was up for doing Country Mill engagement photos at their wedding venue (the Country Mill in Charlotte, Michigan), I got really excited. One, it’s always great to scope out a venue before the day of the wedding, and two, […]
