Weaver House- Erica and Jen!

Weaver House
West Olive, MI

Congratulations to Erica and Jennifer!!  These two have been together for over five years now. They got engaged in celebration of their anniversary. They were camping when we had our first consult. I knew that I liked them immediately, and that they were some laid back ladies.

I was right. It was such a laid back and fun wedding! This couple was so cute, with their nerves going going going, until they saw each other down that aisle. Then, it was all smiles and hugs. Adorable. I kept laughing at the fact that while each of them was getting ready, they kept saying the exact same phrases.

This was another favorite venue of mine for an intimate celebration. The house was amazing and gave a great space for getting ready, dinner, and photos. The ceremony spot was gorgeous, full of hydrangeas and greenery. It was a beautiful day, all around.

I am so honored that I was chosen to document their special day. Enjoy the preview:

Blue Dress Barn- Amy and Sarah

Blue Dress Barn
Benton Harbor, MI

Congratulations Amy and Sarah! These two met online, and have been together for five and a half years. With their busy schedules, they made sure to make time for each other on Sunday and Monday nights, with wine. I knew I liked them right away with that tidbit.

Amy proposed on their balcony at home, in Chicago. Friends and family gathered below with umbrellas, with one bright red heart umbrella in the center. "I Choose You", by Sarah Bareilles, was playing in the background, and then everyone down below held up a sign asking, "Will you marry me?".

The wedding day was very laid back, at one of the best venues on the west side! My favorite parts of this day were the funnies that weren't expected. Their vows to each other, the dance that Amy and the fellas prepared for Sarah, and the costumes... An alligator dancing with the bride? Why not?

Thank you so much for choosing me to capture your story. You two are so much fun and easy-going!! Two traits to keep with you through all of life's adventures. Here is a sneak peek of the big day:

Lucy turns 1 !!

Grand Rapids, MI
Family Documentary

Happy Birthday, Lucy!! Man, this is one of my favorite families-- to photograph, yes, but just in general. So vivacious, funny, modern, fun, loving, and charismatic. I have been documenting this family for four years now!! How amazing is it that I get to be included in all their big adventures? I am so very flattered. This year is Lucy's first birthday!! She is walking, smiling, has reddish hair, and is just oh-so-squeezable! Stella and Charlotte, as gorgeous and lively as always, are still inseparable. They are really into wrestling now. Huh. Who would've thunk it? Pretty cool. Dave and Maggie are just as funny and beautiful as they always have been. Wonderful family. They even fed me.
