Eyliana + Matt | Asylum Lake | Downtown Kalamazoo

We have had so many amazing sessions in 2021 that we would literally be posting a blog every four days in order to share them all! Even though it breaks our heart, we've had to cut back to sharing weddings, engagement shoots, and a few family sessions each year. However, this session is unique in more ways than one. Not only did we get to spend the evening with one of our stunning J+A brides and grooms from 2021, but when they told us they wanted us to "come up with something new and creative," their session became our first "parking lot" shoot and we are just slightly obsessed!

These two have a rather interesting history with us, and it can all be summed up in one of the first things we said when we saw each other, "Wow, we should plan our next photo shoot when it's not freezing outside!" Somehow, both their engagement shoot and their wedding happened to be on cold days, and we successfully completed the "Freezing Trifecta" with an evening where the temperatures dropped and the wind blew with a vengeance. And yet, these two "J+A Pros" walked away looking like absolute models, not only in nature but also in the city!

Eyli and Matt, we are so happy that this is becoming a "yearly" thing for the four of us! The joy you bring into our lives makes each time we see you better than the last. We are so thankful that we get to follow you two on your journey and see where God leads you next! Thank you for not only being awesome people but also awesome friends!

All our best!

J + A

And last but not least...there's this one. No one wants cold ears on a photoshoot! Thanks, Josh!
