katrina.&.adam
Katrina & Adam are getting married July 11th, 2009! back in August i had the pleasure of shooting their engagement session at Adam's family's cottage up north in Linwood, Michigan. their beautiful cottage, which was named 'Marwilla' after grandpa William & grandma Marjoire Trahan and their first daughter Laurie, has been in the Trahan family for 63 years, filling it with
many unforgettable memories --
one in particular was Adam's proposal to Katrina
....
so it was only appropriate for us to do their engagement session there!
it was a perfect sunny, summer day & we had a blast lounging around the many great spots of the cottage. i absolutely fell in love with the decor & (as you will see below) easily understood why this place is one of their (& their families) favorite spots! make sure to check out the slideshow at the end of this post if you want to see even more pics.
also, a little side note... Adam is part of an AWESOME band,
Fifth Way... & they are playing at the Magic Bag this October 24th. i am such a fan of live music & from what i have heard of their music, i
know they would be a rocktastic show! unfortunately, because of the busy season & my weekends being so booked up i haven't been able to see them live
yet.... but i
most definitely will soon! i love how passionate they are & had to give them a shout out on the blog because they truly are quite a talented group.
Katrina & Adam! finally, i get to share with you your sneak peek -- working on these has left a perma-smile on my face & i hope they do the same for you both! i cannot tell you enough how happy i am to know you & to be working with such an awesome, fun-loving, radtastic couple.
knowing what a great time i always have with you both, i know the wedding day is going to be nothing short of extraordinary!
below... Adam, Katrina & their cutie-patootie dog Lola just chillin' :
i LOVE, love the quotes & sayings that you will find throughout the cottage -- such a wonderful personal touch :
a bit of a more unique family portrait
:
the day was glorious :
Lola didn't want to be left out!
i love the movement & happy feeling in this image :
i jokingly mentioned that i thought Katrina should hop onto Adam's shoulder's & kick her legs out... not knowing she could actually do it! talk about brave, too... the fall behind her would of been a big one! she rocks :
could they be any cuter?!!!
oooh-la-la!
yes, i know... talk about a striking pair!!!
i am telling you, Katrina is uber talented!
we switched gears for the last half of the esession to show a little bit of a different side of their personalities! as i mentioned earlier, Adam is part of an awesomtastic band,
Fifth Way ... so it seemed appropriate to surround them with these great old records :
and i just looove the series below :
one of my top faves:
another one of my top faves :
their eyes are real -- i didn't add any color or fancy pigment (nor do i ever!)... but seriously, such a neat combo together, too :
there is just something about this one that i *heart* so much... their expressions are perfect
:
the happy & so-way-stinkin'-cute fam!
love this :
the quotes above them are all the different memories that have happened throughout the years at the cottage :
as i was leaving, i noticed the framed picture & come to find out, their cottage used to be a train station! how neat is that?
... so we had to end on this note!
