Love in Downtown Grand Rapids | Julia & Brendan

As a photographer based in the Western Suburbs of Chicago, I'm constantly on the lookout for new inspirations and opportunities to hone my craft. So when the opportunity arose to photograph one of my photographers friends past couples, I jumped at the chance.

Julia and Brendan, a charming pair with an undeniable chemistry, met us at the stunning Amway Grand Plaza, setting the stage for an evening filled with laughter, love, and memorable moments.

Our adventure took us on a small tour of some of Grand Rapids' most iconic landmarks. From the elegant backdrop of the Amway Grand Plaza to the historic Civic Auditorium, we explored the city in search of the perfect shot. Along the way, we stopped at Ah-Nab-Awen Park, a tranquil oasis nestled along the Grand River, and crossed the iconic Blue Bridge, capturing the couple's joy against the city's backdrop.

But it was at Ah-Nab-Awen Park that the magic truly unfolded. As we snapped away, Julia and Brendan shared with us the heartwarming story of their engagement at this very spot, adding an extra layer of significance to our photo session. It was a reminder that love knows no bounds and that every moment is an opportunity to create lasting memories.

As the sun began to set, casting a warm glow over the city, we made our way back to the Amway Grand Plaza, reflecting on the incredible evening we had shared with Julia and Brendan. The night was filled with laughter, stories, and, of course, breathtaking photos that captured their love.

To Julia and Brendan, thanks for allowing us to be a part of your love journey and to Grand Rapids, thanks for your historical beauty.

I recommend booking your session with me about 4-6 weeks in advance (sooner if newborn session) as I cannot guarantee space, especially in summer and fall.
