EVE at the BOB Grand Rapids--- Andy and Jen

EVE at the BOB
Grand Rapids, MI  

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Schubert!! These two are such a beautiful couple-- inside and out. They met at work years ago and have been together ever since.

Jen opened the door for me in the midst of getting ready, with the girls all a flutter, and she was just so gorgeous and warm. When I went to check on the fellas, Andy was asking me how she was doing and I felt the love he had for her. We did the door shot and I knew they just wanted to see each other so badly! It was really cute. It was nice to catch his reaction when she was walking down the aisle, though. I think everyone choked up a little at that point.

We had a sunny day on August 3rd, and took a little walk around Grand Rapids before heading back to the reception. Then the celebrating really started! The smores bar was a big hit. This wedding had the best dancing guests, I believe! It was so much fun. They only left the dance floor for "Pudgy Bunny". The Schuberts always held this competition when they went camping. You shove your face with marshmallows, saying "Pudgy Bunny" each time you do. It was funny to see 7 foot tall Andy with huge cheeks, saying "Pudgy Bunny" in his deep voice.  It was new to me, but I will be doing this when I go camping from now on!

I sincerely wish that Jen and Andy lived in Michigan. I want to keep photographing them!! Great people and a great day. I wish you two the best!

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!
