looking back and moving forward

As I look at all the beautiful couples below and think back over the past six years, I have so many wonderful memories. I have been so overwhelmingly blessed to be part of all of their weddings – some family, some friends, some strangers who I now call friends. Taking the leap to start my […]

kelley + chris • in their own words

I love this feature of my blog. It’s so fun to hear what bride’s love about their pictures, which pictures are their favorites and why. If I photographed your wedding (engagement, family or senior pictures, too), send me the file #’s of a few of your favorites and why you like them and I’ll put […]

I loved being a part of Lindsey & Kevin’s wedding reception. They got married in Puerto Rico and had their reception a few weeks later here in Michigan. I’ve gotten to know Lindsey over the past year and a half or so since she first hired me for the wedding and she even assisted me […]

in their own words

Time again for the “in their own words” feature of the blog. I started this after my 2005 season had wrapped up and loved all the participation from my awesome clients. So, I decided to make it an annual thing. Now that all my 2006 weddings are done, I’m looking forward to reconnecting with my […]

Tracey and Dave’s weddings was so beautiful and they are such nice people. I feel like I say that about everyone I work with, but they really are so nice and God has just blessed me so much with such wonderful people. Here are a few of Tracey’s favorites from their December 16, 2005 wedding […]

in their own words • anya & nick’s engagement

We took Anya and Nick’s engagement pictures at the church where they were getting married.  It was last February and cold so we wanted to find a nice indoor location with lots of light.  The day ended up being pretty mild and we were able to get some outdoors shots, too. Here are their favorites:

in their own words • alycia & cj
