Jessica and James beautiful August wedding with a Catholic ceremony. Such a fun day. It was killer hot and we were all so thankful for the A/C in the flat and we were able to stay inside and take pictures in the cool air… but also WAY COOL architecture. So fun having this stunning Three Oaks Michigan venue so close to home.
Venues: Journeyman Distillery, The Flat and St Mary's of the Lake

Flowers: Flowers by Anna
This sunrise Shenandoah National Park gave us was so moody. It gave us so many colors and versions of itself the first half of our session before the sun slipped behind the morning clouds.
This hike ended up being a little longer than we originally thought, but I loved hitting the trail with Shelby + Daniel in formal wear. And that waterfall. Heart eyes!
Sweet Bella. This beautiful high school senior was once my neighbor and I BABYSAT HER. And now she’s graduating high school. Does that make me old? The kids I babysat are graduating????
Back in 2009 I was in the beginning days of my photography journey. I took a film photography class. I carried my dad’s old 35mm film camera with me everywhere. I was at the park with Bella and I snapped a darling photo of her sitting in a playground tube. (I have the negative still. I should reprint and share!).
And this summer I got to take her senior pictures for her 13 years later. I love when life comes full circle like this. These moments are beautiful and I am trying not to take them for granted.
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.
In the spring of 2016 I was at Fernwood Gardens shooting a couple getting engaged. In my attempts to look inconspicuous I started talking to a girl standing near me. That girl was Erin. She was checking out the gardens as a possible wedding location. We got to chatting and I gave her my info. Later Erin booked Gingertown and called it destiny that we should work together. And boy am I so glad she did.
Alex and Erin are the kind of people that you can OBVIOUSLY tell impact everyone around them for the better. Their ceremony and reception were filled with the beautiful tears of joy and happiness. Thank you for being so wonderful! I wish you both endless years of love!
