I met Heather at Jody and Don’s wedding in September. Heather was Jody’s maid of honor and I remember her calming presence that day as well as her extremely heartfelt toast at the reception. I was so excited when, amidst editing photos of Heather and Ken dancing that night, Heather emailed me to tell me about their November wedding.
So, I met the happy couple at their new home in Fenton on Saturday morning for some engagement photos and, as I drove in, I hoped the rain would play nicely with us. Lucky for all of us, it did! It sprinkled a little but along with those sprinkles came the dust off the trees so their amazing colors were even more vivid. Heather wanted to get some photos in front of their new home and I loved that idea. Just as I’m moving out of the first home Eric and I have had together, I can really appreciate the importance of these images. So, we began the session with some relaxed engagement portraits on their porch. Heather and Ken were wonderful! They just sort of fit together and did amazing things without me even telling them. They are a totally relaxed couple and full of fun. Heather even mentioned to me that she’s bad a being serious – got to love a lighthearted gal!
Heather and Ken, I can’t wait for your wedding in just a few short weeks! It was so great to meet you guys as a couple on Saturday and get to know your styles some more and laugh with you both over lunch at French Laundry. You both radiate love for each other and I’m honored that I will be there to witness your vows. Until then, I hope you enjoy your preview – and good luck with the rest of your de-wallpapering process!
Everything about this scene makes me happy. Red on the trees, pumpkins on the porch, and some natural confetti all around. Oh, and some happy people in love!
Heather and Ken are so lucky to have some amazing trees on their property. We headed to the backyard to get some images with this gorgeous yellow tree – Heather knew it would look great with Ken’s shirt. Love it!
Who wouldn’t be this happy with a white picket fence around? 
After we finished up, we headed across the street to the beach on Lake Fenton where Ken officially proposed to Heather. I loved that we could capture a place so important to them in these images.
And I loved the reflective and emotional feel to this one. They just look so… connected.
Then we headed to Millpond Park in downtown Fenton for some more photo fun. This park might be small but it was awesome!
Heather and Ken, you two are beautiful together!
Ken was just getting warmed up in this one…
Warmed up for what, you ask? For this! I love when a couple gets a little goofy.
