Kalamazoo Engagement Session

Ben and Elizabeth are kind, happy, fun to be around and going to soon be married! I met with them for their engagement session in Kalamazoo on a chilly day in fall at Al Sabo Land Preserve ending in downtown Kalamazoo. We had so much fun finding the best locations for photos but I think that their sweet pup, Luna, may have stolen the show.

Elizabeth – you are gorgeous. You will be a stunning bride! (I LOVE your red hair!!)

I basically wanted to take Luna home but they wouldn’t let me…..boo.

I just adored Ben. He was already ready to help me with anything I needed. What an awesome guy!

I brought my assistant, Emma, along with me on this shoot so we would have a dog sitter and an extra set of hands. She also helped us create some “sun” for the photo below.

Ben & Elizabeth – I don’t even know what to say. I had so much fun on your session and love your sweet Luna. I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I do!
