I am always excited when couples want to brave the cold and head out for a winter engagement session. Yes, it can be cold. Yes, my camera (and fingers and nose) will sometimes frost up a bit. But the light and the snow – whether on bare trees or at the beach – is always so pretty. I met up with Krissy and Nate on their property just north of Lafontaine (in Tiny Township). Krissy and I had met when she was a bridesmaid at a wedding last fall and it was so good to meet again. Nate and I just sorted out how we’re related – which is fairly typical when it comes to us French kids from Tiny (for the curious, we landed on second (or third) cousins?). All to say, it was fun and they brought the heat (groan, I know, I had to). Can’t wait for their tree farm wedding this fall!

Winter engagement session with Ashley and Kevin – February 2014
Winter engagement shoots are beautiful. The snow is clean and crisp. The light is low and the shadows are long. The trees are bare and dramatic. A lovely backdrop for romance. So when Ashley suggested February for her and Kevin’s engagement session, I was really excited. We met up at my aunt’s horse farm and had fun with their inquisitive golden retriever, Mr. Henry.
I feel I have to mention that these two look this adorable and it was about -20’C with the windchill. AMAZING! I can’t wait to see them on their warm July wedding date…
Jessica, Eric, and Casey …
Jessica and Eric live with their dog Casey on a farm at the top of a hill. They will marry later this year on the Fall equinox in September. The changing of the seasons is an important part of their wedding, so to keep with this theme, we got together for a mini-engagement shoot on the Spring equinox in March. As Casey demonstrates, it was a wonderful day to play in the snow …
