Sami & Paul | Engagement | Karyn May Photography | Grand Rapids, MI Engagement Photographers

Meet Sami & Paul. These two are so great! They were so fun to work with and Joe and I can’t wait to celebrate with these two next year! Were getting really excited for 2013! We shot their session down by beautiful Reeds lake in East Grand Rapids, hit a quick park, then headed downtown for a few fun shots! We had great weather! These two really have a great connection with one another and truly are perfect together! Thanks Sami and Paul for hanging out with us, you two are quite the special couple and we can’t wait until the wedding!!! 🙂

Mindy & Philip | Engagement | Karyn May Photography | Grand Rapids, MI Engagement Photographers

It’s an Exciting time of year but SO busy!! This summer is flying by WAY too fast, I really can’t believe it’s July already- Geez!

Meet the Gorgeous Mindy & Philip! We met them for the first time at their engagement session as they booked us over the phone. We were so excited to finally meet them in person! They are truly so kind and funny together. They said they hardly have any pictures of themselves and think they are NOT photogenic which is total crazytown! Not only are they extremely beautiful but our camera’s loved them! They just moved to Grand Rapids from California and are planning a BEAUTIFUL west Michigan wedding next weekend with an amazing line up of vendors. Joe and I cannot wait to be part of their special day!

Thanks you guys for spending the evening with us, you were a blast to hang out with! See you guys this Saturday- can’t wait!!!

Enjoy your preview!
