Lili + Michelle’s lakeside engagement session

The day was cool but sunny.  Lili wore heels in the name of fashion, Michelle a pin stripped shirt and white slacks.  Together the two were warm, affectionate, and quick to laugh.  What impressed me the most was both their willingness to climb over rocks to make it to the end of the pier where the sun hit from behind, casting a dreamy glow on the scene.  We’re all crossing our fingers for the same weather conditions, albeit slightly warmer, for their wedding this September. They’re set to marry at sunset on the waves of Lake Michigan.  I’m looking forward to shooting the ceremony!  Thanks for a great afternoon Michelle and Lili!
