Katie and Erik have something that you can't teach when you are photographing a couple. They are naturally adorable in all that they do... really I am not even exaggerating. It is so beautiful to be able to watch two people interact and just see their love pour out as you do so. Katie and Erik met in their creativity class at Grand Valley so it was only fitting that we took portraits where it all began. I loved photographing these two and their wedding day; it was a perfect day full of emotion, laughter, yummy deserts, love, and great dancing. Cheers to Katie + Erik!

Sam and Kyle said "I Do" under a tall weeping willow tree with Spring Lake as a beautiful back drop at Spring Lake Country Club on a warm and windy day. It was such a fun day with an exceptional party. Congrats to the newly weds!

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!

Laura + Bryan's wedding was a wedding that I want to be at every weekend. Laura and Bryan are just great people to be around; I think I could laugh for an entire day straight with them. Laura's family is from Michigan and Bryan's family is from New York, so there were a lot of New Yorkers traveling to the little town of Middleville, Michigan. Laura and Bryan's friends and family were just as much fun as them (which I wasn't expecting anything less). The night started out strong on the dance floor and continued on the entire night. I loved Laura and Bryan's no look that took place right before the ceremony. My favorite was the moment Laura covered his eyes and give him a kiss (also one of my favorite photos). The day was filled with great love, the best bride and groom, bride and groom dinosaur centerpieces, cigars, farm animals, great dancing, and fun people; I feel like you can't ask for much more. Congratulations Laura + Bryan and thank you for letting me be a part of your day!
