katie + chadd | married!

winter is here

I've been quite absent from my regular posting but I have been brewing up a lot of new ideas and some new ventures for the new year....Stay warm and check back soon for a lovely November wedding and soon, a beautiful December wedding.....

lindsay + joe

There are times where Mother Nature just works against a photographer and I was worried that the day of Lindsay and Joe's wedding was going to be one of those times.  It was a beautiful, crisp fall day in Michigan but the wind was a little out of control.

We were lucky enough to find some spots tucked in the woods where the wind couldn't bother us.  For a quick 15 minutes of shooting I think you can truly see the love between Lindsay and Joe....they were glowing!

Enjoy!

Ashley + Josh :: Married!

Hope the fall season is treating you well!  I shot the gorgeous Ashley and Josh last month and am so excited to share their wedding slideshow...Enjoy!

caroline + adam are having a baby!

I always love getting to photograph a couple when they are expecting their first child...there's absolutely nothing like the feeling of waiting for your baby to arrive!!!

I've had the privilege of knowing Caroline and Adam from way back in our college years! Caroline and I worked at the University Bookstore together and have stayed in touch after all these years. When she contacted me to come to Grand Rapids and have a little session with her, Adam and their baby bump, I was thrilled! Enjoy!

roderic + lauren

As I headed to Northern Michigan on August 13, it rained and rained. And then rained some more. I'm not going to lie - I was feeling so sad. I had been looking forward to Roderic and Lauren's wedding since they hired me last year! Any chance to get to Traverse City and shoot near water is my favorite thing......But, as my husband and I drove onto Old Mission Peninsula, the weather miraculously cleared up. It was chilly but let me tell you, after shooting weddings in HOT weather all summer, the chill was welcomed.

The location for this wedding was perfect. I have no other words to describe it. And Roderic & Lauren? Well, let's just say I couldn't take a bad photo of them if I tried....
