Stacey & Aaron
















Stacey & Aaron were introduced at their reception to the theme song of Stars Wars! It was awesome watching Aaron hold up Stacey's hand as they paraded across the dance floor....I half expected Darth Vader to pop out of the corn stalks! What a fun wedding with a Halloween motif, there was even a trick-or-treat table with lots of delicious goodies. Thanks for letting us be part of your special day! And for letting us eat your candy. :)

Sarah & Brian





What a beautiful day for a wedding! The sun was shinning down on us as we headed to Grand Haven Pier for some amazing photos! Sarah looked absolutely stunning in a simple, classic wedding gown. The reception was at the Kirby Grill in Grand Haven, which is such a fun place. There was video games to keep all the kids occupied, and the rustic brick interior served as a great back drop for some urban photos. We had a lot of fun taking photos of the bride and groom playing pool too. I'm so glad we could be part of your special day!

Lindsay & Ben

This trash the dress session was awesome! Lindsay is such a natural beauty and such a trooper! Her dress probably weighed about thirty pounds after she got out of the water. I love trash the dress sessions, everything is so laid back, and the possibilities for photographs are endless. Special thanks to Ben from Deep End Films for creating a video story of the day. The video will be coming soon, if you aren't sure about trashing your dress, the video will give you a good idea of what to expect. If you are looking for a wedding videographer I recommend Jon & Ben, Deep End Films, check them out at: http://www.deependfilms.com.

Jill, what a beautiful bride! I had so much fun editing these images. The combination of her filigree covered wedding gown and the white columned wedding chapel transformed their special day into a scene from a Victorian era romance novel. Thanks Nate & Jill for letting us be a part of your special day!

Shannon & Paddy



Photobucket



What a great location for a wedding...the Roanoke Ranch in Lowell was a fun, rustic choice! It rained all day, I think the rain came down the hardest during the ceremony, which was supposed to be outside. Shannon, the beautiful bride, didn't even seem to care. She was so much fun to photograph, with her bright big smile and her adorable facial expressions. Thanks for hamming it up for the camera Shannon! We decided to break out the umbrellas and rain boots and venture out by the big red barn. I love the photos with the sunflowers! This is going to be a unique wedding album, I can't wait to design it.

Joni & Brent






The flower girls were so adorable! After they walked down the aisle none of them wanted to sit in the pew. Instead they all stood up and stared in wonder as Joni came down the aisle. It was so precious!

Stacey & Aaron







The rain held off for us! I had so much fun with this session. I was smiling behind the lens just as much as these two were. What a fun couple! Aaron was so spontaneous, he went for the dip all on his own, and it was such a sweet moment.

Habitat for Humanity







This is the eclectic group of people I have come to know and love as my house church, we all met through Mars Hill Bible Church. Isn't it crazy that average people like us can all come together to build a house? What an amazing sense of community Habitat for Humanity brings about. If you want to learn more about Habitat or volunteer, click on the title "Habitat for Humanity" above and it will bring you to their site.
