A couple of weeks ago I got the opportunity to do something very very cool. I got to shoot engagement photos somewhere that has a special place in my heart. I was able to take pictures at the place that a special lady agreed to put up with my crap for eternity. A place where that special lady (my wife) and I also had our engagement pictures taken. That place is Mackinac Island in Northern Michigan. Those of you that have been lucky enough to visit Mackinac Island know the breath taking beauty and laid back atmosphere that’s in abundance there. Those of you that haven’t made the 15 minute ferry ride back in time are missing out on a piece of heaven on earth.
Not only did I get the opportunity to take pictures at one of my favorite places on the planet, but I also got to spend a Baby-moon with my beautiful wife. Bet your wondering what the heck a Baby-moon is aren’t ya??? A Baby-moon is somewhat similar to a honey moon albeit with bigger bellies by all involved :) Yes I have the notorious "sympathy cravings" to thank for mine. Basically a Baby-moon is the last trip away before the joys of parenthood.
If it wasn’t for the frigid temps the Mackinac trip would have been absolutely perfect. I still get chills when I look at the pictures. I just can’t decide what it is that gives me the chills. Is it the cold weather we experienced, the breath taking beauty, or the return to the scene of our (my wife and I) proposal??? Who really knows??? Maybe it is capturing a young couple so much in love. Going through the same things my wife and I went through only 2 years ago.
Looking back over the last 2 years of my life, I am quite amazed…
I am truly a lucky man……
Here are a few of my favorites from Chris and Michelle’s Mackinac Island engagement session…
