Nick & Holly: A Winter Wedding (Grand Rapids Wedding Photographer)

December 29, 2012

This past summer, I met this super cute couple at my studio. That very night they chose me for their wedding photographer. I was pretty excited, as their wedding was in December and this would be only my SECOND winter wedding ever in the seven years I've been doing weddings. I met Nick and Holly again for their engagement session in Lowell (where Nick and family are from, a cute little town, just east of Grand Rapids, I might add!) where they would also be getting married. The weather was MUCH warmer that day, but for the end of the year, I don't think Holly and Nick could have gotten a nicer wedding day. It was cold, of course, but there was snow on the ground and a few little flakes drifting around the church for photos, it was perfect!

These two are so cute together, and SUCH sweet people as well. I love working with happy couples who are also friendly too (2012 was a great year for that!) and the two of them had the NICEST things to say to me by the time the wedding was over, I almost teared up! I wish them all the happiness in the world... and hope they LOVE their wedding photos. I know I do!
