~ Paul & Amanda ~

Traverse City Michigan is our second home here at Collective Image. Although I (Jason L.) spend more of my time in the southeastern part of Michigan, It is always a treat when I am able to go up and enjoy some family time, and of course an engagement session.

Paul & Amanda also call Traverse City their second home.  Their engagement session went back to where it all started, Chateau Grand Traverse on Mission Peninsula in Traverse City, Mi, where Paul got down on one knee overlooking the vineyard when he proposed to Amanda.  So it was only natural to return to do their engagement photographs here. Between outfit and location change, Paul & Amanda enjoyed wine tasting while cooling down from the hot July sun.  We then headed back down the peninsula stoping at a boat launch on East Bay to dip our feet in.  The session concluded at the Old State Hospital where Paul & Amanda sat down in the tall grass and overlooked the city by the bay.  Enjoy...
