Sneak Peek: Tuni & Lauren

July 23, 2022

Another weekend, another wedding! It was a warm one but it certainly was a beautiful day for Tuni and Lauren's wedding on the shores of Gull Lake. Surrounded by their loved ones, they said their vows and spent the evening enjoying all the company. And there was a LOT of dancing! Can't wait to share more of these but for now... here's your sneak peek!

Zach & Julia: Engaged! (West Michigan Wedding Photographer)

June 12, 2022




Once and awhile, a couple comes along that you just fall in love with! When I first met these two via an online Zoom chat, I felt like we really just hit it off. They are so bubbly and genuine, it was refreshing and fun to talk with them. I'm so excited they chose me for their photographer for their October wedding because YAY! I like them so much! 

They were in Michigan back in June and we were able to meet up in Rockford for their engagement session. Despite some parking issues, it was absolutely PERFECT for photos and we got a ton of great ones. These two have a great dynamic and are adorable together, so enjoy this session... only a few more months until you see them here again!





Adorable!



Gotta love golden hour :D





Just goofing around




When in Rockford...



Maybe it's just that their personality shows through a lot here but I just LOVE this shot!



They NAILED this one!

Have you practiced this? :D

Austen & Courtney: A Lakeside Wedding (West Michigan Wedding Photographer)

May 22, 2022



The busiest weekend ever, but when I get to spend it with couples in love, I'll take it. 

I was at Bay Pointe Inn for a second wedding in a row on May 22. I had JUST met Courtney the day before (as they were doing their rehearsal while I was wandering by for the other wedding I had at Bay Pointe) but we've been chatting for a year now and I love finally getting meet with couples in person. 

It was a beautiful sunny day and that sun certainly helped knock a little of the chill in the air out for us.

Most of the guests were from out of town, but they made the most of their Michigan lake day with a perfect wedding and reception. Gun Lake was looking gorgeous, that's for sure! It was great meeting this couple and their family and friends. Congrats to the two of you, and I am so glad I got the chance to be a part of your wedding day.
