This beautiful trio hanging out at Stoney Creek Metropark. 

When Steve and Hannah told me they wanted to incorporate their boat into their engagement session in Saint Joseph, Michigan, I don't think this was quite what they had imagined. Hannah is a wedding photographer herself, so I am always incredibly honored and humbled when invited to participate in another creative's wedding story. I knew they would be open to doing something fun and a little wild, so we went swimming. 

The waves on Lake Michigan were huge on this beautiful summer, and despite a few hiccups, a stuck boat, and mild seasickness, we still made magic. Can't wait to celebrate with these guys again in February.  

Alex and Josephine share a timeless love story. They had met through work, but spend the first several years of their relationship living in different countries. Instead of divulging in modern communication forms such as texting or video calls, they conversed solely through written love letters for an entire year. Between travels and short visits, their connection solidified with pen and paper. 

They had decided to host their wedding and worldly guests in Savannah, Georgia after being inspired by one of their weekend getaways. One of my favorite parts of their day was that they set aside an entire hour following the ceremony to just spend with each other. They left their family and friends and quietly absorbed all of the emotion together. And the rain was the perfect addition to their romantic love story.

Congratulations Alex + Josephine, thank you for the opportunity to preserve these perfect moments with you both.
