Grand Rapids Engagement Photos: Capturing the Love of Mikayla + Hayden

Updated: Dec 14, 2023

Grand Rapids, Michigan, is a city filled with so many love stories. With its charming streetscapes, vibrant art scene, and elegant skyline, it's no wonder that countless couples choose this city as the backdrop for their love stories. And Mikayla and Hayden's recent engagement session is no exception.

Classy Neutral Engagement Photos in Downtown Grand Rapids

These two decided to go with two outfits. One classy and dressed up, and one casual! They felt that these two options would fully represent who they are as a couple, and I love that. It's so important to feel like yourself during your engagement session, and I think we captured that perfectly for Mikayla + Hayden.


We started out at a beautiful spot in the heart of Grand Rapids where there is gorgeous architecture. This really went well with the dressy outfit!





Casual Engagement Outfit on a Grand Rapids Rooftop

Mikayla let me know her vision for this casual outfit- and I think we nailed it. She loves the candid and prompted poses, and we mixed in some film-style motion blur in there too! Their outfits were perfect for the casual, authentic vibe for these images.


As the sun started setting, we went off to a rooftop near a luxury downtown hotel, where breathtaking views of the city provided the perfect setting for these photos. 



The entire session was full of love, laughter, and pure joy. It is so clear the love these two have for each other, and cannot WAIT for their upcoming wedding!
