Calvin College Ecosystem Preserve Engagement Session

Skyler and Anna are back again, this time for another engagement at a gorgeous place right here in Grand Rapids. These two both went to Calvin College so taking their engagement photos there was an easy decision. Skyler spent a lot of time at the Ecosystem Preserve at Calvin College during his studies so I was so glad they decided to make it a part of the engagement session. Meaningful locations make photos even more special!

The light that evening was pretty amazing. The trees in the background lightly diffused the sunshine and make it oh-so-perfect!

These two are so easy going and laid back. I just love how easy it was for them to relax in front of the camera and just be themselves 🙂

I LOVE wildflowers….even if they are just regular ol’ Queen Anne’s Lace. The texture and softness that they bring to a photo is always what I’m looking for!
