Grand Rapids Engagement Session

Christian and Toni are seriously the sweetest! Their engagement session took place just outside of Grand Rapids at a private lake on the most perfect July evening. Cooler temps, low humidity, the sound of bullfrogs in the background and the perfect sunset to end the night. Somedays are just made for capturing a couple in love!

Their wedding is fast approaching in September at the gorgeous Frugthaven Farm in Greenville! I’m sure they’ll be blessed with another perfect evening on that special day and I can’t wait to be there for every minute of it!

I saw this boat and knew they had to jump in for a few photos!

I love when the gorgeous sunshine pops out from the clouds every once in a while. It just makes every photo so much prettier!

These two were constantly laughing which made me happy. If you can laugh through life then you’ll have a great one!

All the texture that these wildflowers bring is so fun. I love that they are all white so the images just focus on what’s important, Christian and Toni 🙂

Toni had her hair and makeup trial done earlier in the day which is such a great idea to do before your engagement photos!

Christian & Toni – thank you for spending the evening with me playing in the lake and taking every last minute of sunshine that we had and turning it into something amazing. Your wedding day is going to be a blast!
