Stephanie + Ryan's wedding was my second wedding in the same weekend at Bay Pointe Inn and I loved it! The crazier thing is that both of my couples were from Indiana and new a few people attending each others weddings. Such a small world! Anyway, I could shoot a wedding at Bay Pointe every weekend because it is beautiful and feels a little like home since I grew up in the town next door. Stephanie + Ryan had a beautiful celebration with fantastic weather. It was supposed to storm all day, and it was a beautiful overcast day with no rain. Their ceremony was officiated by Ryan's uncle and it was one of the most personalized ceremonies I have photographed. I felt like after their ceremony I really understood Stephanie + Ryan's relationship and new them as individuals as well. Ryan + Stephanie's wedding was a blast; it was one I wasn't ready to leave because the dancing was so entertaining. See for yourself at the bottom of the page! I hope you are able to see how much Ryan adores his bride in these photos. Congratulations Stephanie + Ryan!

Melissa + Tony are people that you meet and instantly want to become best friends with. Their wedding at Bay Pointe Inn was one for the books. They had a beautiful day with all of their family and friends traveling in from Indiana. Their friends and family were just as fun as Melissa + Tony and the night definitely turned into a fun celebration. Weddings like this are the ones that make me love my job even more. Congratulations Melissa + Tony. Cheers to the married life!

Tiffany + James had their wedding at the beautiful Centennial Barn on the most perfect July day. I photographed Tiffany's sisters wedding almost exactly a year ago (their anniversaries are 1 day apart) so it was so fun seeing familiar faces and the entire family again. You may remember Tiffany + James from their country engagement session. It was so fun to incorporate their vintage truck that was at the starting point of their relationship as well as the same bike that we used in their engagement session. Wait until you see this truck! It's every photographers dream. To see their engagement pictures and learn a little back story on the 1953 farm truck click here.
Throughout the day James and Tiffany made sure their day wasn't just about them but about James' daughter. She was the cutest miniature bride and during the ceremony she was presented with a ring after Tiffany + James exchanged their rings. It was such a sweet moment and just wait until you see James and his daughter dancing at the reception; it will melt your heart. If you know me at all, you know that I am a dog lover and Tiffany + James were lucky enough to have their dog, Elsa (take a guess who named their dog.. maybe a cute little miniature bride) at the venue all day. They even made this cute little dress for her... and painted her toe nails. She looked like a little lady. The day was full of family, friends, and much love.
Congratulations Tiffany + James! Thank you for letting me be such a large part of your special day.
Alissa and Josh had an enjoyable and relaxing day with their closest friends and family at the Grand Rapids Art Museum. I think the GRAM may be my new favorite wedding venue! Everything is so elegant and beautiful and it was the perfect fit for Alissa + Josh. Thank you so much for having me and allowing me to capture your wedding day!
