Shawn & Stephanie // Kalamazoo Engagement Photographer

Last week it was 60 degrees out and this week, ICE BLIZZARD! Welcome to Michigan.

Stephanie and Shawn were such troopers. They live in Houston and came to Michigan just in time for all this greatness. We had to reschedule since Monday had such a big storm and then even though the internet said there wouldn't be rain or snow, there definitely was. It's in these times that choosing to have a good attitude and roll with what your given become so important and that is exactly what happened and it's just all crazy beautiful.

10 minutes into this shoot, I was thrilled. Shawn has this great contagious laugh that just seems to bring them both to life. If you follow all my blogs, you know I'm such a sucker for couples who know how to laugh together. It's crazy obvious how much fun they have when in each others company and that is just all we need to be able to do the rest of our job well.

Kyle & John // Kalamazoo Wedding Photographer

Besides all the pretty things, let me just talk about their family. It's always such a wonderful thing to just show up at these super personal events and get to know new people in such a short time by taking photos of them. Kyle is just full of energy and life and super kind. I didn't get to chat with John too much, but from just watching him with everyone else and the way he admires Kyle, I think he's like many of our other grooms that are the more laid back type that adore energetic, joyful women. Kyle's daughter has the same big laugh as her mom and I just LOVE photographing people with big laughs. It was such a casual event but at the same time, so personal and it was amazing to be there in the room to witness this great energy amongst such a close group of people.
