Grand Rapids Engagement- Shanna and Chris

Congratulations Shanna and Chris! These two met at karaoke night at Kale’s, when Chris was hosting. He kept asking Shanna out and she kept blowing him off, until the day she didn’t… He proposed on their three year anniversary. It was a complete surprise when he got down on one knee, while they were cooking tacos at home in sweatpants.

Celebrating their engagement was so fun. We started casually at home with their doggie, Finn. Then we went to Kale’s, where they first met (and is unfortunately closing now, so those photos will be extra special), and The Blue Bridge.

I noticed while shooting this session that Shanna’s tattoo of the arrow on her arm now points straight to her ring. “An arrow needs to be pulled back before it can soar... “ I thought it was so meaningful. So happy for my friend. I hope these two soar into new wonderful adventures! I am ecstatic that I get to document their big one, coming next year…

Enjoy the preview!

Knickerbocker New Holland Brewery Wedding

Grand Rapids, MI
The Knickerbocker, New Holland Brewery

Congratulations Liz and April!! What a fun and laid back celebration. The couple actually had their first date at this venue, which made it special and intimate. They met online, without knowing that they had actually gone to elementary and high school together. They grew up two streets away from each other and had no idea.

The kiddos actually started asking them about marriage. They ended up proposing to each other. They love playing games (they actually got engaged while playing Phase 10), spending time with their kiddos and family, and being outside.

From my arrival, at the getting ready stage, Liz and April were just so sweet and excited, having fun with their close family and friends. This is my 3rd Zick wedding, and this group of family and friends is just so amazing! They are loving, supportive, genuine, and know how to celebrate! I am extremely honored that I get to keep capturing these special life-changing times for this family.

Special thanks to Mario Petersen for shooting with me!
