Hillman, MI- Abby and Nolan

Hillman, MI

Congratulations Abby and Nolan!!! These two are so fun to be around. What a beautiful day this was up north. There's nothing like a wedding out in the country.

I loved this group. Cowboy boots, haystacks, and overalls!! It was very laid-back and just a good time. We had a gorgeous, sunny ceremony at the Wade's home. Abby and Nolan actually live in Montana and held their big day in Michigan with family and friends. There were many southern traditions with this celebration. The huge bridal party, the  groom's cake, the "Ball and Chain" dance, etc. I loved it all. Cowboys dancing all night long. So much fun...

I wish you two the best. I still wish you lived in Michigan, though.

Enjoy the samples...

Grand Rapids Public Museum Wedding- Jeremy and Caitlin

Grand Rapids Public Museum
Grand Rapids, MI

Congratulations to Jeremy and Caitlin!! What a beautiful wedding!  We couldn't ask for a better venue, with the wonderful background of Grand Rapids.

This was the first time I photographed the first look with the bride's father. What a loving moment with such a loving family. Speaking of family, I was astounded that the grandparents were ready and waiting for photos an hour before we needed them! How cute is that?! (A big thank you to Jackie, family friend and "wedding manager", for organizing everyone and everything that day! How I wish you were a wedding planner!)

This day came with a ton of surprises. My favorite one was when the Brockette family surprised their parents with a "first dance", since they never had one at their wedding.  It was really beautiful.

This wedding was filled with lots of tears, smiles, and laughter. Caitlin and Jeremy are such a warm and friendly couple. I wish you the best life together!!

Enjoy the sample photos of their big day...

Congratulations to Nate and Diana! This couple is so sweet together. I had the pleasure of photographing a couple of sessions for them, so I knew how natural and adoring they would be on their wedding day.

My favorite part of this day was definitely the snow!! What a gorgeous winter wedding! Thanks to the entire bridal party for being troopers in the cold!

I hope Mr. and Mrs. Westgate have a wonderful honeymoon and warm up a bit in Hawaii!
