Grand Rapids City Views Engagement Session

Mike & Paulina are getting married in September of this year at Downtown Market. They wanted to do an engagement session in fresh winter snow with views of Downtown Grand Rapids. We considered several locations, like the Blue Bridge, Rosa Parks Circle, and the Amway Grand Plaza hotel. Ultimately, Paulina wanted to save a few of these iconic GR locations for their wedding day portraits. So, we decided to pick a walking bridge that had great views of the buildings downtown.

The bridge is within walking distance to the Grand Rapids Civic Auditorium steps, which was recently opened back up now that construction is finished. For the tail end of the session we went to Riverside Park for more wintery vibes by the river. This session ended up having many backdrops, I loved the variety.

The best part of photographing these two was their ability to open up and have fun together. You can really see their personality and energy coming through their photos when looking at their gallery. I am SO excited to capture their wedding day in September. Spoiler alert: a party bus will be involved! :)
