What a fun spring wedding here in Grand Rapids, Michigan! There are so many amazing churches with tall cathedral ceilings and beautiful stained glass windows. The Bride and Groom were really fun to work with and gave us plenty of great photo opportunities throughout the day, including an amazing bubble exit from the tall wooden church doors, out into the streets of Grand Rapids. We then walked with the wedding party down the streets, stopping throughout the city for photos. We wrapped up the night with dinner, cake cutting, champaign toasts, and dancing at The Courtyard by Marriott for the reception.
Karen + James Engagement II
Just a few more from Karen and James. We did two engagement shoots, so this one was a short session. We really wanted to catch the last of the apple blossoms so we ran out to VerHage Fruit Farms in Kalamazoo. They're getting married in October at the Blodgett Wedding Barn in Schoolcraft, Michigan.
Esther + Chris Maternity Shoot
Had a great time with these two last week! Working with people like Esther and Chris sure makes my job fun. Just by being around them, It's easy to tell they're going to make excellent parents. Baby Baer is expected in June, can't wait to meet him/her. Until then, we'll just have to enjoy these images..
2017 Wedding Recap
Just a review of some weddings and moments from 2017. Last wedding season was a blast, I've learned a lot and I'm excited for 2018. I absolutely love capturing these moments and creating small pieces of art work for these couples to have for a lifetime. I really enjoy showing couples a preview right off the camera so I can see their reactions. Bringing people joy through my work is always my top priority.
Karen + James
Karen and James helped me clear the dust off my gear for my first engagement session of the year. As you can see, it's spring time here in Kalamazoo, trees are in bloom, and love is in the air! This is the first of two sessions, here at the always beautiful Kalamazoo Nature Center arboretum. Their wedding is taking place in October 2018 at the Blodgett Wedding Barn in Schoolcraft, MI.
