I can’t speak for Adam (although I tend to do that most every time), but I completely fell in love with Rachel and Grant when we met them for their engagement session. We didn’t have the chance to meet Grant at their consultation, so I was eager to see them together, to watch their love unfold in front of the camera…oh, and it did.

We held the session in two different places: an urban, chic Zeeland Michigan Engagement and then a lovey, country Holland engagement at Van Raalte Farms. The entire evening, we had the locations to ourselves. I will never trade these intimate moments I get to share with our clients. Their love is the best part of my job.<3

I can never ever get enough of their giggles!

Perfect evening sun in the golden hour of summer.

A location and outfit change allows couples to breathe and relax a bit more instead of always being “on” for the camera. But let’s be honest, they were “on” (!!) since we started shooting! I don’t think we have a bad picture in the bunch.

One of my favorites of Grant.<3

CAN WE PAUSE FOR A MOMENT?
…because:
THIS SUN.
THIS LOVE.
THIS MOMENT.

The way he makes her laugh as the sun soaks her hair and she stands in that perfect lace dress. Sigh. We were swooning then, and we’re swooning still. You two are beautiful and your love is even moreso. Grant and Rachel, we adore you! Cannot WAIT for the wedding! squeee!
