Whenever you think of a wedding, you usually assume it will take place sometime during the summer, right along with all the other weddings. If you are recently engaged and want an event that is a little different, you consider choosing a date sometime after turkey day and before everyone starts going on spring break.

Introducing my brother, the married man! My wife and I could not be more proud of the man he has become! Ari was the best choice he could have made.  We were so excited to be a part of their day:  June 5, 2010…
However, the weekend of wedding festivities did not start off the best. Here is a recap of a wedding for the record books:

Friday we arrived in the late morning to decorate and set up at the Holland Area Arts Council.

Dan and Caitlin’s wedding day was nothing short of spectacular. Just about a week before the wedding I realized that Caitlin’s mom, Carol, is a wedding and event designer on the east side of Michigan, so I knew she was going to go all out for her youngest daughter.
These two met while at Michigan Tech and if you’d like to know their story, be sure to visit their wedding website where Dan told everyone about how they met. They are both now done with school and have moved to Castle …

Ben and Kayla will be getting married in June 2010 in Grand Rapids. Currently Kayla is a student in Florida and Ben is a student in Grand Rapids.

We spent half our session outside in 20 degree temperatures and the other half around the Ada Village Bike Shop and the Ada Grill! If you would like …

I have been so excited to share Brad and Emily’s images with everyone ever since their wedding day. Their ceremony was held at Mayflower Congregational Church in East Grand Rapids and I’ve been wanting to shoot there for quite some time. The location didn’t disappoint, that’s for sure and on top of that, Watermark Country Club was fantastic as well. The day started off at Heidi Christine’s in Ada, which is where I met Emily and the ladies at bright and early. The funny thing was that Alisha and Kristi …

Dave and Ashley’s event was the capstone to a very busy 2009 summer wedding season. We had traveled near and far, but to have a Waterfall wedding at Frederik Meijer Gardens and then the reception immediately following was a great end to our busy season. Ashley originally contacted us about 16 months before her wedding date. We first exchanged a few emails, but after a while I didn’t hear back from her. As usual, we simply continued to follow up and low and behold she finally got back with us …
