Jeff & Shannon {Wedding Reese, MI}

There are more "perks" to my job than you could ever imagine. No, I'm not talking about financially, but spiritually and mentally. One of my most favorite is when I get to reconnect with people that I knew years ago. When I worked as a bartender at a resort, I never imagined that the girl at the front desk and the boy in the gift shop would ever end up getting married, but that goes to show you what I know. Jeff and Shannon are the epitome of what unconditional love is. I left their wedding feeling like anything with love is possible. I hope I never take for granted the fact that people are willing to allow me to come and be apart of such an intimate day. If I ever do, that will be the day I walk away from photography. So, thank you, thank you, thank you Jeff and Shannon for opening your hearts and letting us all get a glimpse of your love through photographs! God bless you and your marriage for many, many years! And on a side note, please give it up for my second shooter Savannah of Savannah K Photography who totally rocked it out! Don't worry, you'll be seeing much more of her!

Laura & Charlie Engaged {Holly, MI}

As I get older, I realize how true it is about things coming around full-circle. People move in and out of your life, but even in the brief encounters become somehow part of your life. That is how it is with Laura and Charlie. I had known Laura from working together in Frankenmuth for a few years. I never dreamed that the day that I quit working with Laura that years later I would be taking her wedding photos. Seriously, how fun is that?! Laura and Charlie are just one of those couples that you're immediately comfortable with. Charlie is cracking the one-liners and Laura is making sure he has a filter :) We had such a great afternoon together climbing through possible poison ivy, wadding through water and finding a creepy little farm to capture some great photos. You two seriously are the reason that I love my job so much!

Rachelle and D.J. Married!

Weather? Unseasonably warm and beautiful. Couple? Stunning. Location? Breathtaking. Bragging to all the other photographers that have to deal with less-than-ideal wedding weather in other parts of the country this weekend? Yeah. Just a bit :) I had such a great time last night capturing Rachelle and D.J.'s wedding. They're a really sweet couple that surrounds themselves with people that are just as wonderful. I may or may not have fallen out of Rachelle's lifted pick-up truck looking for the marriage license, but we're not going to talk about that... Thank you, thank you, thank you to both Rachelle and D.J. I hope I never start taking for granted the privilege that I have coming into these moments in people's lives. Blessings on your wedding and your future!

Chris & Alicia Married!

Nothing thrills me much more than when I get the opportunity to hang out at weddings and take pictures of wonderful people. Even better than that? Hanging out at a wedding of a childhood friend and taking pictures of her and her wonderful new husband. Seriously? Don't I have the most rad job ever?! I know. I do. And it is an awesome blessing that God allows me to be able to participate in the most incredible moments of people's lives. So, without further ado, I present to you Chris and Alicia's fall inspired wedding day. Gorgeous!!!!














Allow me to explain the next few pictures. Chris's mom is a 2nd grade teacher and to practice writing sentences, she had the kids write wedding advice to Chris and Alicia. Some had you laughing and others almost in tears. I love their perspective on marriage!






Thank you to Chris and Alicia for allowing me the opportunity to be such a huge part of their special day!

Keep smiling!
