Reed & Jessica: A Beautiful Barn Wedding (West Michigan Wedding Photographer)

September 23, 2022




Some couples are just an absolute pleasure to work with. From start to finish, Jessica and Reed have been one of those couples for me. It was earlier this year that Jessica contacted me about her wedding in September and not longer after that, she asked if I was available to shoot her last minute ceremony to marry Reed, so they could spend the summer as newlyweds AND allow her to fulfill her dream of getting married at her home church in Lake Odessa. (P.S. it happened! Check it out here).

 Aside from that (which was amazing, by the way!), working with these two really was amazing. There is so much love and fun between the two of them. They are both very happy-go-lucky and really just wanted to have fun for their wedding, rather than worry about everything going perfectly. And as luck would have it, that attitude pretty much lead to the day going off without a hitch. 

A beautiful day, wonderful people and so much time to photograph at this lovely location made it absolutely amazing. I can't say much more but than I can't wait to see what life holds for the two of you, and I am so glad I got to be a small part of your story!!!
