Mark & Lindsy: Engaged! (West Michigan Wedding Photographer)

 August 18, 2023

NOTHING is more flattering than having someone follow you from VERY early in your career and then hire you years later because they've always wanted you to be their photographer. Lindsy and I met back when we were spring chickens fresh out of high school and though we haven't seen each other in years, we've stayed in touch all this time (mostly through Facebook, haha!). And I was absolutely thrilled when she said she wanted me to do her and her fiancé Mark's engagement and wedding photos!!! YES!

Lindsy and Mark have a soft place in their hearts for Grand Rapids (as well as downtown staple, Mad Cap Coffee!) so we made sure to incorporate that into their session! We also made a point to wander around some of the more well-known areas downtown and make a good time of it.

They will be tying the knot next year, so look for more of them soon!

Drinky poo :D

Love the big smiles.

Wandering the area.

Goofing around.

Everyone needs a little (BIG?) love!

Ahhh that Grand Rapids skyline!

Sneak Peek: Mitch & Jayme

Words cannot describe how amazingly perfect Jayme and Mitch's wedding day was. I'm not even going to try. I'll just share with you guys a few fun shots with these two beautiful people and leave you wanting more! Have a great week!

Raphael & Meghan: Engaged! (West Michigan Wedding Photographer)

August 12, 2023

It was a beautiful day in Holland when I met up with Raphael and Meghan to FINALLY do their engagement session. I feel like we had to reschedule a few times (once, they VERY graciously did for me!), or maybe it was just that we had a hard time figuring our schedules out initially, but it seems that sometimes, good things come to those who wait!

I've known Meghan (at least a little bit!) for a couple years thanks to her BFF, Jessica, and I'm so very very excited to get to be a part of HER wedding this time around! She and Raphael have been together a good long time and it's going to finally be official for the two of them this coming spring!

My daughter Julie tagged along for this session, and she held the reflector and made things a little easier for us on account of all that sunshine. Normally I don't bring an assistant along (especially such a young one!) but it worked out nicely this time around. We all had a good time wandering the park and capturing some fun moments as well as getting to know the two as a couple. And now I'm that much more excited for their wedding next April!

So much "Awwww!"

Love the hat, Raphael!

Trying to NOT fall off the dock.

My daughter helped a LOT with the light in this one ;)

GLOW!

CHEESE!
