Engagement

This summer evening could not have been more perfect for Alyson and Brody’s Grand Rapids engagement photos! We started at the iconic Amway Grand Plaza Hotel, nestled right in the heart of downtown Grand Rapids. Alyson’s first look in this two piece white dress had my jaw dropping. This girl is so stunning inside and out! While we were taking photos, so many people stopped to compliment her and the dress that was made for her. Forever obsessed with this look!

You can never go wrong with a classic, formal all black outfit. When I tell you Alyson and Brody slayed every single look, I mean it. I knew this outfit pairing would be a perfect fit for the Civic Auditorium as the backdrop. So timeless, so classic!

As golden hour approached, we then made our way to the shores of Lake Michigan in Grand Haven. The sunset was so beautiful and the breeze added a fun element of movement to the photos. West Michigan never fails to provide the most picturesque scenery and romantic ambiance!

As a Grand Rapids wedding photographer, I have the honor of documenting such incredible couples, and Alyson and Brody are the epitome of everything I adore about my career. Words simply can’t do justice to the happiness that radiates from Alyson and Brody. Their love is infectious, their laughter contagious, and their connection undeniable. It’s couples like them who leave my heart full for days and my cheeks hurting from smiling so much. I am so happy to call these two my now friends and I’m beyond excited to photograph their wedding next year!
