I am just itching to share these beach engagement photos I worked on with Savannah and Brook. They were super excited to find a unique spot to commemorate their engagement. At first, we toyed with the idea of going all the way to Colorado. After talking logistics, we zeroed in on the breathtaking scenery of […]

I’m more of a night owl, but as your engagement photographer, I’ll roll out of bed before the crack of dawn for some beach sunrise photos. Especially anywhere in Northern Michigan. We met for this engagement session at Mission Point Lighthouse Park in Traverse City. I’ll admit, we were greeted by some pretty dreary skies […]

I recently had the pleasure of capturing this engagement session at Millennium Park in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It truly felt like a scene straight out of a romantic movie. The couple had just […]

The Wild Phern has expanded service areas in the last two years to include more of the MidWest states, and these engagement poses were from a photoshoot in Crystal Lake, Illinois.

And make it Harley Davidson themed I’ve got to share these amazing couples photos in Holland I did recently with my friends Hannah and Justin. They wanted something that really celebrated their love for riding, so I recommended this spot in West Michigan knowing it was going to compliment their vision perfectly. From the moment […]

I get super pumped every time I get to photograph engagement photos in Chicago, and this last couple was an absolute delight. They were a bit nervous initially, admitting they needed some guidance, which is totally fine. I love having those conversations because it gives me a chance to explain my approach and make them […]

You can expect to be at Lake Michigan for engagement photos when you’re a photographer on the West side of the state. I’ve photographed hundreds of shoots on the lakeshore, and I don’t think I’ll ever get bored of it. I just had most incredible engagement session at Windstnest Park in West Olive, Michigan. When […]

If your horses feel like family, I encourage you to try and include them for your engagement session (and family shoots, too)! This post covers work from an engagement shoot, but I’ll definitely be making one that displays a family shoot I’ve done with one! These two lovebirds brought their two gorgeous horses along, which […]
