Old Stonegate Farms - Kym and Tim

Old Stonegate Farms
Nunica, MI

Congratulations Kym and Tim! What a fun day! It was a beautiful October day in Michigan.
I loved capturing all this day entailed- the ladies all getting ready, the first look with her dad, the fall outside ceremony, the dancing Flower Man, all the way through the reception when everyone let loose. I especially loved the photos we got of their adorable baby, Valor, yawning in their arms, and Grandma’s cute reaction when during the daddy-daughter dance.

These two met during Covid, so they never officially had a first date. Tim sat down at the bar where Kym worked and it took off from there. They love getting tattoos, their dogs, and having new adventures. Tim proposed while they were taking family photos, a few days before Christmas, in Frankenmuth.
Tim, Kim, and Valor are such a beautiful family. Many blessings in your adventures ahead!

Rockwell Lake Lodge - Ali and Shawn

Luther, MI

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Zillmer!! What a fun and laid-back celebration, even with the added “good luck fortune” of some rain on the big day.

Shawn and Ali met at work, when Shawn re-trained Ali at Hopcat, after she returned from the Peace Corps. They hit it off immediately and for their first date they went to Wealthy Street Theatre to see Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom. Shawn likes playing video games while Ali likes to read, and they both enjoy going to the beach, camping, and having a cold beer on the deck in their backyard.

Shawn proposed on a trip to Florida with friends. They were walking on the beach alone, and Ali thought it was coming, but he didn’t do it. Then, later… she was taking pictures of the sunset and he got down on one knee.

My job was pretty easy because Shawn and Nicole, the Matron of Honor, kept making Ali laugh. I just love her animated faces!!

Thank you so much for choosing me to document your story. Keep making each other laugh. Enjoy the preview of your big day…

80 in the 80's - Gregory Family Birthday

Gull Lake
Richland, MI

What a fun celebration- “80 in the 80’s”!! Happy Birthday, Joanne! It was a beautiful, colorful, Madonna-inspired day, full of scrunchies, neon, and lace.

I hope I am this vivacious when I grow up. “Oma” is a blast. I didn’t even get that she was the birthday girl when I met her— someone had to tell me. This family is a blast. So fun and full of genuine people. Just like my family, they wouldn’t let me go home without taking a plate of food.

I loved everyone on the dance floor! They sure know how to “Celebrate good times…Come on…”

Thank you so much for choosing me to document the fun. Enjoy your preview of the day…
