I was excited when Becca told me she wanted to go to her and Patrick’s favorite place, Holland, Michigan, for their engagement shoot. I got to hear about how they’re (already) old souls who play scrabble out on the beach as their favorite past-time activity. And I stinkin’ loved it! These two are ones who seem like they’ve already had 20 years of marriage under their belt because of the solid friendship and joy they have with one another!

When I first got to meet up with Becca over coffee, I soon realized that we were going to be great friends! Her laid back personality and warmth helps anyone around her feel welcomed and instantly comfortable! So meeting Patrick was just the icing on the cake. He was such a trooper for their pics and (even more so) I think even enjoyed them because of all the times he got to kiss his woman 😉

Strolling around Hope college for the first portion of the shoot made me remember what a quaint little town Holland, Michigan is! And then heading down to Tunnel Park for the sunset was a DREAM! I can see why Becca described it as her “happy place”. I think it might have instantly became mine too!

I’m so excited for you to check out some of my favorites from Becca + Patrick’s Holland, Michigan engagement session. And stay tuned for next April when these two finally are able to make this thing official!
