A Coastal Engagement Session in Maine
Shelby and Tyler’s coastal engagement photos in Maine, captured by Wild Lotus Creative, were a meaningful way to document their love during a special trip to New England. The beach setting reflected their shared love for the water and summers spent on Lake Michigan, making it the perfect location for their photos.
How Shelby and Tyler Met
The couple’s story began on a flight home from Arizona after a Michigan State football game. An MSU luggage tag sparked a conversation that revealed just how much they had in common. From that moment, their connection grew quickly, and the rest was history.
A Memorable Proposal in Petoskey
Shelby and Tyler got engaged during a winter getaway in northern Michigan. On a snowy afternoon walk along the river in Petoskey, Tyler proposed on a bridge, creating a moment that was intimate and unforgettable. They celebrated with a weekend full of wineries, cozy fires, and, when they returned home, a gathering with their families to mark the occasion.
Why They Chose Maine for Their Engagement Photos
Initially unsure about taking engagement photos, Shelby and Tyler decided to book a session once they planned a trip to Maine. Inspired by Wild Lotus Creative’s past work and recommendations, they knew that a beach setting would be the perfect backdrop. It tied together their love for the water with the excitement of exploring a new place together.
Looking Ahead to Their Wedding
The couple will tie the knot in August 2025 in Traverse City, Michigan. Their venue features a beautiful walled garden and a tented reception space, perfect for their vision of an intimate and fun backyard-style dinner party surrounded by their favorite people.
