When Alicia told me during her last photo session that Bill was going to propose in the near future, I was just so excited! Even though I was just waiting for it, I was still giddy when I heard the news for sure. Since then, Alicia and I have been text buddies, going back and forth about all sorts of wedding stuff. They have already chosen their date (August 25, 2012) and venue (
Comfort Suites Lakeside in Houghton Lake), and of course, their photographer... me! We got them down to Grand Rapids last weekend to do their engagement photos. Though I was really hoping to make it out to Grand Haven, we had a good time touring downtown GR and finding all sorts of cool spots for photos.
Bill and I went to school together. I work with a lot of old friends and acquaintences from my hometown, so no surprise. I've known his since way back in middle school! I'm happy to see him find such a cool girl to walk down the aisle with. Alicia and I met last year when I did his Aunt
Candi's wedding photos, and again for
some family photos we did later on that summer. She also came to visit me recently for another photo session I have yet to blog about (stay tuned!), so we're pretty bunch old pals now. She's a gorgeous girl, and I suppose Bill is a pretty good looking guy as well, so I am just thrilled to get to be a part of their wedding.
Congrats Alicia (Cali ;) and Billy, we'll see you again soon!
