A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of spending an afternoon with the incredible Kristy and Tim at the picturesque George George Park in Clinton Township as we took their engagement photos. These two troopers braved the unexpectedly frigid Michigan weather – a stark contrast to the balmy 50s and 60s we’d been experiencing just weeks prior in February! While the snow wasn’t as plentiful as we’d hoped, their positive energy and undeniable love story shone through, resulting in some truly magical photographs.
Making the Most of Winter’s Beauty with Engagement Photos
As a Michigan photographer, I’m no stranger to the state’s unpredictable weather patterns. This winter engagement session perfectly captured that spirit! While a blanket of fresh snow would have added another layer of beauty, we embraced the scenery and focused on the genuine connection between Kristy and Tim. We utilized the natural elements of the park – the towering trees, the frozen lake, and the golden winter light – to create a stunning winter wonderland backdrop for their love story.
A Referral Built on Trust
This session was even more special because Kristy and Tim came to me through a referral from Grace and Vaughn, a previous couple I had the privilege of working with. Referrals are always a heartwarming testament to the positive experiences I strive to create for my clients. Knowing that Grace and Vaughn were happy with their photos and overall experience filled me with excitement for Kristy and Tim’s session, and I can’t wait to capture their upcoming wedding day (fingers crossed for warmer weather!).
Beyond the Engagement Photos: A Connection That Lasts
Engagement photos are more than just beautiful images; they’re a chance to connect with your future spouse, celebrate your love story, and get a taste of what it’s like to work with your photographer. For Kristy and Tim, this session was filled with laughter, and genuine joy. Their infectious enthusiasm made the chilly Michigan air feel almost balmy, and I’m so grateful to have captured these special moments for them.
