Weddings & Portraits

Amanda and Ed are one of our 2015 weddings couples and we are pretty excited about that! We had so much fun with them during their engagement session. Seriously, so.many.laughs! These two are perfect for each other, the energy between them just overflows with love. I’m not sure they ever stopped smiling and giggling the entire time! 🙂  Here’s a peek at our session with them.

We started out at some property owned by Ed’s family and then made our way over to Lake Huron as the sun began to set.

Kim and Steven welcomed their baby girl last week so here’s a little throwback to a few weeks before when all the anticipation was in the air! We met up at DeVries Nature Conservancy to capture the two of them before their little one arrived. Kim had a few things she wanted to incorporate into their session to welcome their newest Detroit Tigers and Harley Davidson fan. How fun!

Congratulations you two on a beautiful baby girl!

“I have a vision,” Shanna said to us the first time we met in person. A vision indeed. From a candlelit ceremony to tons of DIY decor at their reception. The amount of planning Shanna put into their wedding was amazing! Not only were the visual parts of their day awesome, but the sentiment throughout as well. Kevin’s dad stood up next to him as his best man and Shanna and her mom’s dance at the reception was an absolute tear jerker. Instead of a first look, Kevin and Shanna stood back to back at a wall where they exchanged both their excitement and some gifts, a perfect photo op! Here’s a look at their day…

Tom and Alisa were surrounded by their friends and family as they became husband and wife on the beautiful Weko Beach of Lake Michigan. Their day was filled with so much love and joy. One of the highlights was when Tom surprised Alisa with a new wedding band as they were exchanging rings! After making it official everyone headed out to the Journeyman Distillery for some pizza and drinks to celebrate. We even had a chance to sneak away for some photos in the upstairs loft which was pretty awesome!

We met up with the “B” family at their picturesque home nestled in the woods and the possibility for photo locations were endless! As we made our way around their property we really enjoyed getting to know them. I think one of the best parts of our job is meeting and learning about new people! They are such a beautiful family on the inside and out. Thanks for putting up with the mosquitoes guys!
