Lake Michigan beach engagement portraits 1940s theme

Whoa. A shoot like Sunday's 1940s themed Engagement Session with Caroline and Josh was the perfect way to wrap up a busy weekend. I'm digging through the 1500+ photos we shot of prep and all around the bluffs and beach at Silver Beach in Saint Joseph, Michigan. Yep, 1500 photos, and in less than 2 hours of daylight. It's easy to →

Saturday we spent the late afternoon and eve with Jacqueline and Zachary in Michigan City for their Engagement Session along Lake Michigan.
