Ashley and Marcus are incredible people and I was so honored to document their special day of love. You may remember them from their Nashville Engagement session. They shared heartfelt vows on the blue bridge downtown with perfect Grand Rapids cityscape views, then danced the night away at Frederik Meijer Gardens. Everything was absolutely amazing, with so much love and laughter sorrounding them. Thank you for including me, I felt like an honorary bridal party member throughout the whole day :) Congrats to the newlyweds!

I think Kent Country Club is probably one of my favorites West Michigan country clubs because of its historic character and charm. It's such a perfect spot for an elegant wedding, and that's exactly how I would describe this wedding. Lindsay and Chris exchanged heartfelt vows overlooking the great rolling hill views under a beautiful birch branch arbor on a perfect sunny July day. It was such an amazing day of laughter and love, thank you for sharing such wonderful memories with me and allowing me to document your special day of love.

Hidden Vineyard is the most perfect picturesque place for a wedding. There were so many amazing places for pictures, not to mention the most beautiful sunset overlooking a field of wildflowers and vineyards, just steps away from the dancing celebration. Courtney and Dan said their "I Do's" under an ancient great northern catalpa tree surrounded by their closest friends and family. I loved that there was dance party in the middle of bridal party pictures, crazy face contests throughout the day, and most of all a couple that was simply in love and enjoying their amazing day. Thank you so much for sharing such a special day with me, I wish you an eternity of wedding blessings.

I think one of my favorite moments from Peter and Jessica's wedding was during the ceremony. Peter got down on his knee and gave Riley a ring, promising a commitment not only to her mom but to Riley as her new father and their new family of three. There was not a dry eye in the audience, it was truly touching. I loved that we laughed all day (usually at Peter) and I was able to capture the genuine, fun loving, authentic, and joyful bond between these two. Hanging out with Peter and Jessica is just fun, simply put. Thank you so much for trusting me to capture these memories, it's been an honor to photograph this special time of becoming a new family. May God bless you as you enjoy this journey together.
