This is my beautiful sister’s family. I made them wake up and be photo ready by 8am so we could absorb that early morning glow over their little lake. Umm… Worth it, right!? Just scroll to check out these beautiful family portraits.
Erika + Elijah Warren Dunes Engagement
Remember that weekend back in November that was like 70 degrees? Yeah, we lucked out on this sunny warm day. Looking forward to their wedding day this summer at the new Watermark Solarium. I did Erika’s sister’s wedding last summer (haven’t blogged it yet, way behind on my blogging). And now I get to do Erika’s and her fiancé, Elijah’s wedding!
Eric + Kayla Tabor Hill Winery Wedding
Eric and Kayla were definitely the most joyfilled couple ever! Each one was BEAMING at every moment of the day. At one point I was asking them to both do a more serious face and it lasted like a half second before the burst out laughing.
This was my first wedding at the new Tabor Hill venue and oh my goodness… it’s gorgeous!
While this wedding was SO EASY because everyone was so happy, it was CHALLENGING because it was 30 something degrees. Kayla didn’t want to bring her ceremony inside (which I 100% approve of). I would have done the same thing! However it literally hailed on us during the ceremony! created some epic pictures and memories, but challenging as I tried to keep my lenses clean and dry! I will never forget this amazing day. I love when brides and grooms are this in-love and I love when they are just there to have the best of time with their best of friends.

Personal Blogpost: 30 Before 30 Bucket List
I haven’t done anything like this personal on my website before, but I’ve read that if your bucket list public or on display you are more likely to achieve your goals. I sat down recently to write down my New Year’s resolutions, but I ended up creating a 30 Before 30 Bucket List. Seeing that I have just over a year and half to accomplish these things, I tried to keep them relatively attainable both budget wise and timeline wise. I’m pairing them with personal pictures from our east coast road trip because, ya know, I’m a photographer.

Hannah & Abdullah 12 Corners Vineyard Wedding
It's taken me way too long to blog this gorgeous 12 Corners Vineyard wedding. Hannah & Abdullah were the sweetest, most genuine, beautiful couple! And I'm always so pleased to work alongside 1928 Planning Co. They make weddings smooth and seamless!
Xulu + Joanna's Weko Beach Wedding Bridgman
Xuxu & Joanna had a simple, quiet & beautiful beach wedding right in my hometown Bridgman. I'm always so happy to be close to home for my job. And Weko Beach gave us the most BEAUTIFUL sunset this night in late October. The sunset was so good that it literally STOPPED the reception and everyone went outside to watch.
