Tasha & Rick

I loved getting to know Tasha and Rick during this engagement session and am so excited they chose to have me photograph their wedding next summer. We did this session in a field that I just happened to stumble across and I love the way it worked for the two of them. I also included a few images of them with Rick’s Harley, as I’m sure it’s an important member of their family. ; ) Thanks Tasha and Rick! Here’s a preview of your engagement photos…

Courtney & Eric

Courtney and Eric got married recently at Temple United Methodist church in Muskegon. After the ceremony, we took a boat ride over to the reception at Spring Lake Country Club. It was a very warm day… no, warm doesn’t quite describe it – it was a VERY HOT day, but everyone was still up for being outside and having a good time. I had so much fun photographing your wedding day, Courtney and Eric! Congratulations!

Aden & Eddie

I recently photographed Aden and Eddie’s wedding on Mackinac Island and I think it’s my new favorite place for weddings! Everything about the day was perfect… the couple, the details, the weather, the venues, everything. I met Aden and Eddie in Chicago several months ago for their engagement photos and after doing that session I knew they would have an incredible wedding… and they did. Aden was one of the most fashionable brides I have ever had and I’m not just saying that… really. She looked amazing at 7:30 am on our way to the hair salon, she looked amazing in her wedding dress (and I must add that dress was absolutely stunning), and she even had a third (and equally awesome) dress to wear when we took out the yellow tandem bicycle at the end of the day. I also want to thank Paul Retherford for helping me out on this one. It was great working with you, Paul! Thank you so much for including me in your wedding weekend, Aden and Eddie!

Lora & Matt

I got the opportunity to photograph Lora and Matt’s wedding in Grand Rapids, MI a couple weeks ago. Both of them were both so easy going and such a fun couple to work with! They got married at Trinity Lutheran Church and their reception took place at Blythfield Country Club. Congratulations and thank you for including me in your wedding day, Lora and Matt!

Courtney & Sam

I photograph couples in love all the time, but occasionally I get a couple like Courtney and Sam. I could feel how in love they were and it made me smile all day long. Their ceremony took place at an adorable little church in Holland, MI and the reception was in downtown Grand Rapids, MI at the Amway Grand Plaza. The forecast said RAIN, RAIN, RAIN so Courtney got prepared with rain boots for her and her girls. Somehow the 20% chance of no rain won, but I had to get them into their boots anyway.
My jaw dropped when I walked into the Imperial Ballroom where their reception took place. Everything was incredibly elegant… even the chairs at the tables. I also got the pleasure of working with Anne Oppenhuizen again – she did video for the wedding. Thank you so much Courtney and Sam! I thoroughly enjoyed spending your wedding day with you and wish you the best of luck! Congratulations!

Monica & Andrew

Monica and Andrew got married at the Amway Grand Plaza and it was an absolutely gorgeous wedding. The ceremony took place in the Imperial Ballroom and the reception was in the Pantlind Ballroom. I love both of those rooms and got to photograph in both of them on the same day! Monica was one of the most beautiful brides I have ever had the pleasure to photograph. Monica, I LOVED your shoes! Congratulations to both of you… here is a preview of your wedding day!

Macy & Rory

Macy and Rory live in Texas, but got married here in Grand Rapids. I had a great time photographing their wedding and getting to know them better. Macy looked absolutely gorgeous and I loved how simple, but perfect, all the details were! Thank you to Erin Peters for introducing us. : ) Congratulations Macy and Rory! Here is a preview of your wedding day… enjoy.

Ellie & Brian

Ellie and Brian are getting married later this summer and I was able to get to know them a lot better by doing their engagement photos recently. I love the way their photos turned out – they didn’t want a ton of posing and it worked out perfectly for how I like to shoot. It was a really, really, really HOT day so I have to give them a big thanks for enduring the heat and being so great! I’m sure the heat helped convince them to get in the water at the end of the session. Actually, I had to do no convincing at all. ; ) Ellie and Brian, I can’t wait to photograph your wedding next month!!!

Maria & Jon

I don’t even know where to begin in talking about this wedding. Simply, it was amazing. Maria and Jon were so comfortable being themselves in front of the camera and all I had to do was capture them being in love. Everyone was a bit worried about the weather, but the sun came out and it was an absolutely perfect day for a wedding. The location Maria and Jon chose was located in Mackinaw City and I LOVED it. I couldn’t have asked for a more gorgeous wedding and lovely couple. To top it all off, I got the opportunity to have my good friend and fellow photographer, Daniel Pesta, come along and help me out. Daniel was awesome to work with!!! Thank you so much for your help, Daniel. : ) Maria and Jon, you were absolutely wonderful to spend the day with and and I’m so glad you asked me to photograph your wedding! I wish you the best of luck in the future. Congratulations!

Erin

I photographed Erin recently for her senior portraits, but it felt more like I was photographing a model. She was so photogenic and I enjoyed every minute of our shoot. Thanks so much Erin and I hope I can get you to model for me some day!
