Traveling to clients for engagement sessions is one of my absolute favorite things to do. There is nothing more special than an engagement session that documents the couple in a special or important place-- and extra points if I get to work in a new location! That does so much for my creativity and I love discovering new places. For this session I traveled southeast of Dallas to groom, John's family ranch and got to spend some time with him and his fiance, Lauren. They are getting married next summer in northern Michigan and I love that we got to spend time at a location that is so important to John for these photos and next summer will get to spend their wedding at a place that is so important to Lauren. I want to point out that Texas had the best sunsets and these two look straight out of a magazine ad. Bonus points, I got to photograph a few longhorn on the ranch. Check out some of my favorites!
Danielle and Chad were married at the end of September on a day that deceptively looked like fall but felt like the hottest day in July. It was truly a scorcher, which made being next to the waters of Gull Lake perfect. The day was really perfect and it was so wonderful their sweet kids Harper and Nolan as the flower girl and ring bearer. Danielle's dress was to die for and she was just the most stunning bride! Here are some favorites!
