Sydney and DJ rocked their black-tie engagement session at the Lansing Capitol Building. Between their formal attire and the way the wind played with Sydney’s hair, it was romantic, classic, and timeless all rolled into one!
Sydney is the sweetest and smiliest girl you’ll ever meet. When she was a student at Valparaiso, she was visiting friends at Michigan State when she was introduced to DJ. Soon after, Sydney was spending weekends and football games with her girls and seeing DJ every chance she could! It’s no surprise DJ fell for her smiley attitude and bubbly personality. Before long, the rest was history!
Because they fell in love in Lansing, the Michigan Capitol building was the perfect location for their engagement session. I can’t wait to photograph their wedding in 2022 at Shepherd’s Hollow in DJ’s hometown of Clarkston, Michigan!
Until then, enjoy the photos!
