Missy and Lucas | Hastings Michigan Engagement Photography

June 29, 2009 | Filed Under Engagement/Newlyweds 

Charlie and I had a great time photographing Melissa and Lucas’ engagement session. We spent the day at Lucas’ family ranch…what a gorgeous home. We’re so glad they shared it with us. We also had the pleasure of checking out the town of Hastings and ate lunch at their wedding reception location. It’s a brewery with a lot of character and we can’t wait to photograph the wedding! We’ve been blessed with some gorgeous couples this year, it makes our job easy! Melissa and Lucas were willing to try just about anything we suggested and we had a lot of fun capturing the moments!

Their dog was so cute! She kept running up to check on them during our photo session. She’d just check everything out and then run off. We made sure to get her in a shot with mom and dad and then she was off again!

I love sweet moments like this! My favorite kinds of pictures are the candid ones that capture the emotion of the day.

Charlie and I love the outdoors and we were just a little envious of the property in Hastings that Lucas’ family lives on. We climbed up a hill and walked down a well groomed path for these photos. We could see instantly why Melissa and Lucas wanted their engagement session here!

We wrapped up the engagement session with some dramatic lighting photography. I love the results we got against the log beams of the house. And oh those blue eyes!

    Thank you for the nice compliments Robin. We had such a fun time shooting their wedding a couple weeks ago! It was so nice to meet all of your family and friends..What a great group of people. I’ll be uploading all the wedding pictures for everyone to view very soon. I hope you like them just as much =).
