This couple is from Michigan but now live in New York. I had the pleasure of photographing their wedding here in Michigan this fall.

We started in Central Park and wandered all over Manhattan, got some photos of the city from Brooklyn just before & after sunset, then finished up back in Manhattan at Grand Central Station. I’m always up for traveling to fun locations for engagements, weddings or post-wedding shoots!
