Engagements

Felix and Bethany

It was another chilly fall day in Grand Rapids Michigan when Felix and Bethany explored downtown with me. Luckily we got to cozy up at Studio Three from GR Studio Space to dodge some of the rain. These two are so in love and can’t wait to start a family. With getting married during a pandemic Bethany wanted some romantic photos to hold on to since they never did engagement photos. I’d say we made up for the lost time. It was a pleasure capturing these moments for you guys.
