Stephanie and Eric's Engagement Session

Working with our amazing clients is always a pleasure -- but it's not often our whole family gets to mix business and pleasure :)  This time, however, was the exception!  Stephanie and Eric wanted to do their Engagement photos in Saugatuck, MI and offered to put our little family up in a cabin while we were there.  So we were able to have a little summer family get away! We had so much fun, and our son, Graysen, had an absolute blast at the beach!

We started Stephanie and Eric's session in downtown Saugatuck, and hit up all the local hotspots. Including Kilwin's for some ice cream -- a necessity because we were shooting on the hottest day of the year so far :)  We also went to the place where Stephanie and Eric got engaged (perfect) and ended the day on beautiful Oval Beach!

Here are a few of our favorites from their session!

It was so fun working with you guys!

We can't wait for your wedding next year!!

Alex and Emily's Engagement Session

We love working with family, so I was thrilled when my cousin, Alex, asked us to do his and Emily's Wedding and Engagement photos! We started their Engagement Session in Marseilles at the local elementary school, where a bench was named in honor of the memory of Alex's mother.  From there we headed over to the now closed Hi-Lo Gas Station, which was owned by our late Grandfather, Theodore "The Bear" Blumenshine, and operated by Alex's father, Ron.

We then went to Ottawa for a few more portraits around town.  We had a lot of fun shooting, although the weather was wicked hot!  I'm really excited to shoot their wedding day next year!

Congratulations again on your engagement!  Emily, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!   We can't wait to officially welcome you into the fam:)
