elizabeth anne designs • library

August 2, 2008 – 10:16 am


Came across Elizabeth Anne Designs through Aletha’s Pearls Events blog. They have just launched this wonderful library resource for brides listing tons of vendors across the country. Ami and Rebekah were kind enough to list me among the michigan photographers so I wanted to return the favor here on my blog. They also have a new review site, where clients can comment on the services of their vendors. If you’re an APW bride, feel free to visit their site and leave me some love. ;)

aletha @ pearls events • vendors

March 22, 2008 – 4:40 pm

A couple weeks ago, I had a nice lunch with Aletha Vandermaas of Pearls Events. We met at yummy Panera Bread and chatted about my photography and her wedding coordinator business. I am so impressed with Aletha. She’s such a sweetie and for having just started her business this past year, she is booked pretty solid for this year and is already booking into 2009. This girl does it all. She does day of coordination, where she will show up on your day and make sure every little detail is in place, or she can help you with more of your planning if you need it, such as budgeting, meeting with vendors and more.

As a photographer, the service that she offers is helpful to me as well. A bride who has a well-organized coordinator to handle all the little details will be much more relaxed and simply enjoy her day more than one who is scrambling around trying to handle everything herself.

So, if you are from the Grand Rapids area, please contact Aletha to help you with your wedding. You’ll be so happy that you did!

Last December, I shot a gorgeous Christmas wedding. Dave & Tracey were such a great couple, so very nice. Click here to see my post after their wedding.

Dave & Tracey started their videography business shortly after their wedding and have done some beautiful work. Click on the screenshot to check out their work, pricing, and a little about how they got started.
