What is better than one engagement session on a gorgeous day in an awesome location? TWO! Timing and weather came together perfectly when Skylar and Alyssa met me for their session. I met Skylar a few years back, he was the best man at my cousin Ryan's wedding. Ryan's wife and my eternal cheerleader, Jessica, made sure to let Alyssa know about me when she and Skylar got engaged this summer. I'm so excited to get to work with them. They are super cute, fun, and up for anything. Way to be, you guys!
They drove all the way to GR from the east side of the state where they live (and will be getting married) so I made sure to find them some awesome locations. We stayed at B Thome Orchard for the first half of the session, for a little country feel, and then headed to downtown Grand Rapids for the city side (country boy, city girl, love it!). Alyssa wanted a fountain, so we made sure to swing by the GVSU downtown campus for a couple cool shots there, and then found a way into the garden hidden behind the building! I've been wanting to get in there for years! Thanks for helping out, you two!
Skylar and Alyssa will be married at the end of next August, so you'll see their smiling faces again in no time. For now, enjoy their awesome engagement session!
