Grand Ravines County Park - Jessica and Kyle

WEST MICHIGAN ENGAGEMENT SESSION
Grand Ravines County Park
Georgetown Twp, MI

Congratulations Jessica and Kyle!! These two met at work about three years ago. After their first date, Kyle was telling people that they were going to end up together in the end. Six months later, he told her he loved her after hanging out with her family all day. Two years later, on the exact same day, he proposed in front of her whole family. The speech was really sweet and emotional. He had her mom’s ring that her dad proposed with years ago.

These two were so fun and laid-back during our chilly November session. I can’t wait for the big day! AND…!!! I get to see one of my favorite families again! The Zick Family! If you haven’t caught those sessions, they have about 100 sessions throughout the years on my website- check out the blogs. Ha!!! I love this family.

Stay tuned for their wedding at McKay Ballroom Tower, in Grand Rapids, in July!
Enjoy the preview….

St. Cecilia Music Center Wedding

Grand Rapids, MI

Congratulations Heather and Paul!! What a fun wedding at St. Cecilia Music Center downtown! These two are just the cutest. What a sweet, laid-back couple. They made sure they had time to relax and have fun where they had their first date, Stella’s, in the downtime of the day. Who knew back then that we’d be there on their wedding day, sippin’ drinks with their besties?
They met at work and became inseparable pretty quickly. Paul proposed three months later on New Year’s Day, so that they could be engaged the entire year.
Heather and Paul love new places, travel, going to small restaurants off the beaten path, and Michigan State sports.
Happy Honeymoon in Italy guys! Thank you so much for choosing me to document your story. Here is a preview of the day:

Ice Skating Engagement! Caitlin and Matt

Grand Rapids, MI
Rosa Parks Circle

Congratulations Caitlin and Matt! What a fun day for ice-skating in the city! It was actually beautiful, warm(er) for Michigan in February, and the sun was out. These two are so cool (not just because they were ice skating! Hee hee). Their warm personalities make you feel like you've been friends for years. I instantly connected with these two. Smiles, jokes, a little insecurity about skating and falling on your arse (Caitlin)... I am so excited for this couple and can't wait for the wedding! They are having their reception at McKay Tower, which is reflected in the buildings in some of these shots. Pretty cool.

(They never fell on their arses, but other people did. They're in the background in some of these... Thought it was funny since it's the Olympics and everyone cringes on the edge of their seats waiting for people to fall. You know you do.)

Caitlin and Matt met at her cousin's wedding. Matt actually crashed it- well, kind of. The best man asked him to go. But Caitlin says he crashed it. They were together for two years when Matt proposed. There was a love note on the bed, and when Caitlin turned around, he was on his knee. He always tries to surprise her, and it never works, so this time he didn't plan anything and just did it. He wanted to propose on the blue bridge and got shot down for lack of originality. Ha!

Well, just look at these two! I am genuinely so, so happy for them. My heart gets bigger knowing people like these guys...
