The last wedding of the year; a bit bittersweet! Missing the season but ready for a break. This year, my couple for that last wedding was my lucky contest winners from the bridal show I did last January! This was a great wedding despite interesting lighting issues in the church and me falling and bashing myself and cameras on the pavement (my lenses and main camera survived unscathed at least ;) ). Derek and Kerra are a quiet but sweet couple and it was a lot of fun working with their family and friends on their big day!
We did a first look before the ceremony, though we definitely wanted to hide the bride from the guests. Since we only got a few shots beforehand, after the wedding ceremony was finished, we hopped on the bus and made a few quick stops in Muskegon, including the chilly but lovely and sunset-y Heritage Landing. We ended up in some really great little areas and I love the photos we were able to take, especially the ones near the wispy grasses right before the reception!
Derek and Kerra, it was a pleasure working with you and your whole wedding party. And Carol, that's for being my point person throughout the year! Congrats to you all!
