Tom & Cassie Wedding - Charlevoix, Michigan

October 6, 2016

i am so excited to share this wedding! i am pretty sure cassie, tom, and their families single handedly helped me fall in love with charlevoix. i have had the privilege of shooting weddings all over the state and yet i hadn't shot in this stunning little costal town yet...i have been missing out! from the engagement session along the water, to their wedding among the spires of castle farms, i was blown away by the beauty of it all*

with the very best of vendors helping make this wedding all of what it was, cassie and tom celebrated alongside friends and family from all over. speeches that make you cry, details that make you swoon, and a couple who lived in the moment...every minute of the day!

thank you c&t - i hope i was able to capture the beauty of the day that was all around me. you two and your families have been so very gracious to me, and i count it a true blessing to have shared in your wedding celebration with you. congratulations again - here's to a life of joy, journeying together!

all the best,

kyle + stephanie | wedding | frederick meijer gardens | watermark country club | grand rapids, mi

July 28, 2015

often during the busy summer months of wedding season, i am shooting in northern michigan...and while the beauty of the north is undeniable, having the chance to photograph a wedding here in grand rapids is a treat...especially when you combine the spectacular frederick meijer gardens and beautiful new ballroom at watermark country club!

the story of kyle and stephanie is pretty great, i must say. stephanie won an engagement session from me last year and i was so excited when she decided to not stop with the first session, but hire me for her wedding. i still laugh to this day about their engagement session, as these two have such a brilliant, hilarious sense of humor, and some of the photos truly captured that. all i can say is head to themountain.com to get a taste of the epic apparel worn for part of the day, just awesome!

this past saturday was the culmination of a lot of communication and organization, and it was absolutely lovely* sure it was a bit warm, but the dramatic sky only heightened the beauty of the day. i had such a blast and laughed often, which is always good for my soul on a wedding day..documenting these two and their love story. k&s, thank you for such a great day and for enduring the heat with me. i hope you enjoy your wedding preview as it was a joy to capture these moments!

blessings,

Paul & Kim Wedding - Mackinac Island, Michigan

July 15, 2015

there is a first time for everything - and this past weekend saw two for me! since moving to michigan i had never visited mackinac island, but on friday and saturday i did just that, and for a very good reason too! paul and kim, one of my dear couples from chicago, were getting married on the island, and i had the unique privilege of documenting their wedding! so not only was it the first time visiting the picturesque destination, but it was also my first wedding on the island, what a treat*

the wedding took place at the mission point resort, a sprawling estate resort that offered charm and beauty, a perfect backdrop for these two. friday evening was full of wedding party fun with a bicycle rally along with the rehearsal and dinner right on the water downtown. and saturday could not have been more beautiful - clear skies, blue water, cooling breeze, and a gathering of friends and family!

p&k, thank you so much for the honor of choosing me to share in your celebration. i cannot think of a better couple to share my first mackinac island experience with. blessings to you two in your marriage - i wish you all the best!

much love,
