Austin & Chelsea: A Fall Wedding (West Michigan Wedding Photographer)

November 11, 2023




We've finally come to sharing the last wedding of my season for 2023! Always a bitter sweet moment, but just in time for (a little!) rest during the holiday season... phew! 

And despite the cooler temperatures, this wedding was probably the nicest of all my fall weddings, weather-wise! No rain threatened us, crazy wind gusts stayed away. And we saw the sun, hooray!

Another amazing part of Austin and Chelsea's wedding was spending time with the two of them. We went on quite an adventure exploring to find some great photo spots at Sherman Lake YMCA, hunting for the last remaining fall colors available. We also managed to snag some photos on the lake while it was as still as glass. So beautiful!

These two are such sweet, kind, funny and genuine people, that every moment with the two of them was truly a pleasure. You guys are too awesome! Even better was seeing the two of them make their vows to one another with big smiles on their faces and then dance the night away with their family and friends. It may have been a long fall season for me, but we went out on top with this wedding!

Chelsea and Austin, it's been a sincere pleasure getting to know the two of you, and I wish you both so much joy and love in the future! Congrats!
