Abby + Ethan are high school sweethearts, and the absolute sweetest. Running around in the dunes, fighting some seriously intense wind, and capturing their love was an total pleasure. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for these two!
Sleeping Bear Point is easily one of my favorite locations to shoot- especially for an engagement session. It’s natural beauty and expansive dunes allow for endless possibilities and creativity. And the color palette? Chef’s kiss.
If you’ve never visited this gorgeous location, I highly recommend checking it out. And even better- head out into the dunes to catch the sunset. It’s pretty incredible.
