Dustin + Caitlin: Engaged (Grand Rapids Wedding Photographer)

October 16, 2011

October is a beautiful time of the year, but the weather is ALL OVER THE PLACE. Case in point, yesterday I posted my engagement session, it was chilly, windy, and cloudy. Made for great lighting but brrrrrrr! The very next day, we had somewhat warmer temps, beautiful sunshine, and just a bit of wind here and there. Two days later, another engagement shoot... cloudy, no breeze at all. Don't you just love Michigan?

Anyway, I was very excited to see Dustin and Caitlin again. We met at the beginning of the month where the officially booked me for their wedding next August (the week before Brent and Kaitlyn). I already love Caitlin. She's very organized and detail oriented, on top of everything! Just like I would be planning my own wedding! Not to mention she picked her wedding date partially because I was free on it. Thank you, dear! I was so anxious to do their shoot at Thome Farms in Comstock Park, where my assistant photographer, Kristin, and her family are in the apple business. It's a gorgeous place and we found some amazing locations to shoot.

We did some fun Save the Date images first. Caitlin made the adorable signs on her CriCut machine. They were so cute! We made sure to get a few good ones including the apples we were surrounded by. She and Dustin then followed us around the orchard, finding some amazing spots amongst the apple trees, the corn field, and we even found some gorgeous leaves that hadn't been knocked out by the wind yet! All and all, a great shoot.

Next August is going to be a blast with all these awesome couples! I have three weddings right in a row, so I'll be busy. Thanks Dustin and Caitlin for coming back up north to do the shoot with me. I absolutely love these images, and you guys too. Your order will be on it's way shortly!
