Natalia + Kevin | Morgan Creek Falls Engagement
Natalia made her way down to the ice after the game as the team took photos and reminisced about the season. Kevin played hockey for the Northern Michigan Wildcats, the hockey team of the school where they both attended – even more, the school where they had met. Sliding one foot in front of the other so as not to slip, Natalia found Kevin and embraced him in a congratulatory hug. She pulled back, noticing out of the corner of her eye that the guys on the team had formed a circle around them, each getting down on one knee. Natalie stood confused, turning back to Kevin to gain some sort of understanding about what was happening. Instead she found Kevin down on one knee – but directly in front of her, an open ring box in hand. Holding back tears, Natalia nodded quickly as the building echoed cheers and hockey sticks slapped the ice.

The weekend Natalia + Kevin’s engagement session rolled around, we texted nervously as the forecast was showing severe thunderstorms and rain for the day of the shoot. Studying the hourly forecast, we decided to pick the small window where it looked like the rain was supposed to hold off, and we prepped ourselves to be ready for the worst. In typical Upper Peninsula fashion, the weather decided to change it’s mind all together, and blue skies appeared near the end of our time giving way to a hot summer sun and humid air!
