The Revel Center - Sam and Seth

The Revel Center
Grand Rapids, MI

Congratulations Samantha and Seth! What a beautiful winter wedding! It had some perfect moments- from Seth and Sam sharing private vows to each other before the ceremony, to family making the day even more special with their humorous toasts, and then, of course, bagpipes!

The lucky ducks have been together for about three years. They first met when the bride heckled the groom at a lacrosse game in college. Fast forward four years, when they met again on Hinge. The official first date was a movie night at Sam’s house, but it ended up being a chat that lasted for five hours instead. Seth proposed on Sam’s family vacation for the 4th of July, where everyone was in on the surprise.

High School Senior Portraits- Hunter

Wabasis Campground
Greenville, MI

Congrats to Hunter on his senior year! This cool guy has a bright future ahead of him. I still can’t believe how time flies. I worked with his mom, Sarah, while I was just starting my business on the side and I remember stories of this guy, but now he’s all grown up. I’m so glad we got some shots of mom and son as well! It’s such a great idea and great timing to do it.

Thank you, Sarah and Hunter, for sharing your special place with me. Whenever life got rough, these two would go to Wabasis to feel right again. I know these photos will mean so much more because we chose this spot.

Riverside Park Engagement- Samantha and Seth

Riverside Park
Grand Rapids, MI

Congratulations to Samantha and Seth! So excited for these two loveducks. So fun and warm (nice because it was a cold day in October!), genuine, and easy to feel right at home with them.

They met online and both knew they had something special right away. They found out they had actually met before. Both Sam and Seth played lacrosse and had the same memory about that game, when Sam gave Seth a hard time and heckled him, but he called her out on it. Seth’s team ended up annihilating Sam’s.

Fast forward a few years together, the two were up north with family for the 4th of July at the lake, with cornhole tournaments and all. Seth said a prayer after the national anthem and proposed.

Stay tuned for their big day in December!
