Lake Michigan Engagement: Katie & Rob

Good morning and happy Saturday!

I don’t usually post on weekends, but I sort of ran out of time yesterday and desperately want to show you Rob and Katie’s Lake Michigan engagement session!

These two are getting married on 12/13/14 at Della Terra in Estes Park.  And after our weekend together in Michigan I can say that I am SO excited to spend the weekend in Estes with them. He made me feel so welcome while in Michigan, including greeting me at the airport and escorting me to the little lakeside town of Saugatuck, MI where we shot the next day.

Rob was born and raised in Kalamazoo, Michigan and came to Colorado to attend the University of Denver.  Katie’s a Colorado girl from Parker who rides and shows horses. She’s super sweet and awesome and I can’t wait to watch her ride sometime! These two are so wonderfully elegant and classic, I loved every ounce of preppiness they wore. :) They both love Jesus and have such a sweet relationship together.

Katie and Rob, I can just tell you two are going to make amazing teammates forever.  No matter what life throws your way, I have a feeling you’ll handle it better together.  And I’m so happy I get to be there for the start of your forever. Thank you for being you.  I love you guys! I am so blessed.

With love and joy,
René

With 20 years of experience, I bring a calm, steady presence to your most meaningful days. I specialize in documenting relationships over time—from weddings and anniversaries to babies and families—with a love for black-and-white imagery, honest moments, and photographs that belong in albums, not just on a feed. There are no forced poses or “pretend to” prompts here, only space for what’s real. I’m not just here for the highlight; I’m here for the history you’re creating.

And I can't wait to capture your story
