A couple weeks ago I met up with Gayle and Josh downtown Holland to take pictures ahead of their wedding. I have seen them in the past while doing family photos with Gayle’s sister, but it was great meeting more of the family. I loved the way they incorporated their two kids into the day and that Josh’s mom was the officiant. Plus the weather was great and Josh and Gayle are easy going and fun to work with! They claimed to not be photogenic, but I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves :)
At the beginning of October Abby and Nic has a beautiful fall day for their outdoor wedding at The Old Wooden Barn. It was hard to believe almost a year had passed since I took their engagement photos, but these two were just as photogenic and their bridal party was fun to work with! I loved the unique touches of burning a brand on a table during the ceremony, having a bonfire and s’mores kits available to guests after dinner and they made sure to include the dogs in at least one wedding picture :) Congratulations Nic and Abby, thanks for letting me be a part of your wedding day!
Last weekend I drove across the state for Kevin and Meriah’s outdoor wedding. This couple has been together over a decade and it was immediately clear how much they are loved by their family and friends. Many tears were shed during Kevin’s vows (which were a surprise to Meriah) and I heard so many people say that they were so happy to be celebrating the marriage of these two. Despite the humidity and the mosquitos their guests were partying on the dance floor all night. It was such a joy to be a part of their special day, here are some of my favorite images!
Back in August I photographed my first wedding of the year that was not postponed due to COVID-19! I’m so glad Katelyn and Calvin were able to keep their original date and location, although the reception had to be moved outdoors under a tent. It was a very hot summer day but Katelyn and Calvin were so laid back about everything and seemed happy to just be able to celebrate with the family and friends who were able to make it to their special day. Spring Grove Park made a beautiful ceremony location and Sunnybrook Country Club hosted the reception. Big thanks to my assistant Hadley for spending a hot summer day taking photos with me, here are some of my favorites from their wedding :)
At the beginning of this month I drove down to Indiana for Megan and Aaron’s wedding at a really great venue called Union 12. Like all weddings this year, they had to make some adjustments to their original guest list due to the pandemic, but they still were able to celebrate with many friends and family members. I first met Megan when she was a bridesmaid in my brother and sister in laws wedding (which I also photographed), so it was fun to see her as the bride and my sister in law as maid of honor. Megan and Aaron also have two adorable little boys who seemed to enjoy the celebration of the day just as much as the adults! Here are some of my favorites from their wedding :)
