Sonya & Wilmer (+ Olive)

A few weekends ago, Kevin and I headed to Midland to photograph the engagement session of Sonya & Wilmer. What an AWESOME couple!! We were greeted by the adorable and vivacious Olive, their beloved dog. {what a great name!!}

Sonya and Wilmer met at Michigan Tech, so a few inches of snow didn't phase them. In fact, they planned their engagement session to include snow, and luckily we got a nice white blanket of it the day before their session!!

Introducing Olive...





And the happy couple...





The whole family:





Olive was so much fun at the park. She was just a ball of energy. Look at that height!!







Sonya was such a natural in front of the camera... she's going to be a stunning bride :).





Olive wanted to play on the swings too.





What a great-looking family!!









Seriously... top models here, and they don't even know it....





After our time at the park, we headed to someplace warmer. If you've never been to the H Hotel in Midland... wow. After a major renovation, the place is stunning. We wandered the hallway, lobby, and bar for some great shots.









Absolutely fantastic together...













Our session was mostly done, so we all hung out in the O2 bar. I love this ring shot!









Sonya and Wilmer, we are so excited for your October wedding!! It's going to be wonderful, and I'm so excited to capture your special day.





Now, a few fun "behind the scenes" photos...

Kevin shows Sonya how to pose in the elevator... what a model!





Kevin couldn't help but jump into a shot... he sure livens up life, I tell you. Sonya and Wilmer didn't seem to mind.









This is what it takes to get a shot sometimes... especially a cool one with a purple light on the ceiling.





And I leave you with a shot of my husband/shooting buddy in all of his cuteness.
