Surprise Engagement Shoot in Snowy Northern Michigan

Let’s talk about this gorgeous surprise engagement shoot in snowy Northern Michigan. This sweet family contacted me months in advance to have a photographer present for a surprise proposal. It happened to be our biggest snowstorm of the winter and the sweet bride and groom came riding in on a 4-wheeler after choosing the perfect Christmas tree out in the woods. Come to find out, the groom had hoped and wished for a bunch of snow that weekend and boy oh boy, did we get it! Check out these gorgeous images to re-live the love and joy of Spencer, Libby and both of their families!

Hi, I’m Liz, the photographer behind Norpine Photography! Based in beautiful Gaylord, Michigan, I specialize in wedding, family, and newborn photography. My style is a mix of moody and true-to-life tones, with a focus on capturing candid, unposed moments that showcase genuine connections. I’m especially inspired by the dramatic earthy tones and magical sunsets that Northern Michigan offers.

When I’m not behind the camera, I’m a wife and mom who loves iced mochas, peanut butter chocolate ice cream, day trips with my family, and kayaking. My favorite part of this job is helping people feel comfortable and creating timeless memories they’ll treasure forever.
