There’s something special about sunrise engagement sessions. The quiet, calm atmosphere sets the stage for capturing genuine moments. I recently photographed Aubree and Logan at Grandfather Dam in Merrill, WI, and it was a perfect start to the day.


We started by the water’s edge, where the early morning light added a soft touch to their photos. They were so natural together, sharing laughs and soaking in the peacefulness of the moment. Moving to the overlook by the dam gave us even more beautiful photos with the warm morning glow.
