The Engagement Story

A day, told quietly.

At the end of August 2022, Lysette and Donald joined us for an engagement session at Grosse Point Lighthouse in Evanston, Illinois , surrounded by lush greenery and the beautiful shoreline of Lake Michigan. The location offered the perfect setting for an artistic collection of photographs, combining the character of the historic lighthouse with the natural beauty of the beach. Lysette especially enjoyed posing, and the photographer happily followed her lead, incorporating many of the beach images she had envisioned for their session.
