Maddie and Connor - Kalamazoo greenhouse engagement photos

It’s a little bit ridiculous how natural Maddie and Connor are in front of the camera. Frequently I would look up from the camera to give them a prompt, and they would already be doing it. Basically, they’re a pair of photogenic rockstars, and I love it.
They wanted to make sure we included a piece of their WMU history in the photos, so we planned on swinging by the campus off Drake rd, and visit Asylum lake as it’s understandably one of their favorite spots in Kalamazoo, but this still left me with a warm up location for a February engagement session and I knew just the spot. VanderSalm’s Flowers is full of much needed color for winter photos, and they were super gracious to let us come in and take advantage of their greenhouse temperatures.

Thanks for being amazing you guys, I’m all sorts of excited for your Bell’s Brewery wedding this summer!

Janel and Ben - Grand Rapids adventure engagement

Janel and Ben are with no exaggeration probably the coolest people you will meet. They are artistic, and unique, and very genuine with you right from the first moment. 
I could already tell that their engagement photos were going to be something special, so when Janel suggested touring some of their favorite spots around Grand Rapids, I was so on board!
We started getting some shots in the greenhouse of Horrocks market in Kentwood, then moved over to Vertigo music (where Ben couldn't resist purchasing a record) before finishing up at a personal favorite of mine: Stella's Lounge. If you like whiskey, that is the place for you. 

The locations were amazing, but the people definitely made this session unforgettable.
