Thanks Meghan and Clay for driving over with your puppies and for spending such a beautiful night with me! And Clay, I’m sorry about calling you Hank. It did make for some good laughs!

We ALMOST postponed this session because we were worried that there wouldn’t be enough buds on the trees but I am so thankful we didn’t because it was absolutely perfect. Spring is such a beautiful season!

Here are a few of my favorites from their session! Enjoy!

So, Matt and Danielle’s wedding was perfect in every possible way. Beautiful day, beautiful couple, awesome details, great family and friends, and ice-cream! I love every single little touch that they put into their special day …and there were a lot! I love details. I also was really touched my the relationship these two have with their parents. Not only do Matt & Danielle adore each other but it’s obvious they adore their family too.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, for sharing your special day with me. And, I really do wish the two of you the very best in your marriage and in life! Congratulations!

I had never met Robert or Julie before their wedding as they are both in the Air Force and have been on multiple deployments (that is actually how they met!) . But, I have had fun getting to know them via e-mail and I was really very honored to be a part of their wedding day. Their whole wedding was laid back, fun, and very beautiful. It really was a day about celebrating these two becoming Mr & Mrs!

Thank you Robert & Julie for all you do for our country! And, thank you for choosing me to be your photographer. I wish you two the very best in everything!

I have had the privilege of working with these ladies on multiple events and I can tell you that they are awesome at what they do! From planning & ideas to implementation of those plans and ideas…they have it covered! I always love working with even coordinators because often times the photographer gets stuck in that role at one point or another during the day. And, that is fine for the most part BUT when there is someone else there that has all of those details covered, it frees me up to do my job…capture your memories!

So, if you are planning a wedding or special event and you need someone to help you along with the planning or for the actual day, Cassie & crew are some of the areas best!

Here are a few from our photo shoot!

The wedding took place at Waldenwoods in Hartland, Mi. What a beautiful venue. I really enjoyed our time there even though we didn’t get to venture out onto the grounds much because it was CHILLY and snowing! Yes, the middle of April and snow, sleet and wind.

But, the warmth felt on the inside from the burning fireplaces, the candles, the love of Aaron & Sarah and their guests was what really made it special.

We started the day with Sarah and the ladies getting ready at her sisters house and Aaron and the guys getting ready at Aaron & Sarah’s place. Both the ceremony and reception were held at Waldenwoods. I loved how the guests sat at their tables while watching the ceremony take place in the middle.

If I get this story right, Aaron and Sarah were each other’s first boyfriend/girlfriend. In the 4th grade? After much time, moving away, and serving our country they reconnected and now can say that they are with their FIRST love and their LAST love.

Thank you Aaron and Sarah for including Katie and I in your very special day. You truly are a special couple and I feel so honored to have been able to capture your memories!

I rented the super awesome couch from Refunction Junktion! Noreen is super sweet and so easy to work with. If you need it, I betcha she has it!

I am planning on holding another day of mini-sessions on Sunday, May 18th. If you are interested in reserving a spot, let me know! The session is 30 minutes long, you will get a disc of your edited images and a printing release. The cost is $250.

I am currently full for the 2013 and will not be scheduling any new sessions (unless we have been in touch regarding this) so if you want/need a session, this is the time! More than likely, I will also be holding a mini-session date in October also so if you miss out here, don’t worry.

Ben and Samantha are getting married this August so we headed downtown GR to take some engagement photos. It was so nice getting to know them more and hearing about their wedding plans! I’m excited for their wedding this summer!

Kensie and Jace are high school sweethearts and I really enjoyed getting to know them and hear about their relationship. Kensie is also a photographer (very talented!) so we had a little fun brainstorming their session.

I wanted to thank Cassie Celestin from White Dress Events for finding the beautiful fireplace mantel and Connie from the Chair Cover Collection for letting us use it. These ladies are the best and so easy to work with and I highly recommend each one.

We got a ton of snow before their engagement session and I’m not kidding when I tell you that we walked a good mile in snow up to our shins! It was a good workout and I am sure that it will be a story to remember for awhile. But, despite the snow and cold temps, we had a great time and got some gorgeous photos!
