Being a wedding photographer and being asked “what’s your favorite wedding venue?” is like asking a parent “so which one is your favorite kid?” West Michigan has so many beautiful and unique spaces, and there’s something to love about all of them. But guys, I think I have a new favorite! This Felt Mansion wedding […]

I’m so excited to share this rainy Baker Lofts wedding I had the honor of capturing last weekend. You’ve all heard rainy wedding days are supposed to bring good luck, right? Well, did Sam and Nick hit the jackpot! I don’t think anyone wishes for rain on their wedding day (except maybe for this groom!) […]

Having a baby last summer meant shooting a lot less, but I realized I never shared this beautiful autumn glasshouse wedding I shot with Samantha Joy Photo last October.

My heart is so full after Mike & Sarah’s big day! You may remember their downtown Chicago engagement session a couple months ago. We had so much fun that morning wandering around getting to know each other, and I’ve been eagerly awaiting their Haymarket Taproom wedding ever since! Sarah is a talented graphic designer and […]

A dream is a wish your heart makes… This Cinderella inspired shoot at Venue3Two was a literal fairytale brought to life. Shades of beautiful blues, pinks, and creams and the subtle use of pumpkins made the historic mansion more enchanting than ever. Every time I have the opportunity to participate in one of these shoots, […]

This past Saturday I got to second shoot for my good friend, Jenna of Jenna Rose Photography, and I am so excited to share these photos with you! When I got Saturday’s itinerary and saw we would be capturing a wedding at Farrand Hall, my heart did a little backflip. I LOVE history and old […]

This spring I had the opportunity to assist Laurenda Marie Photography at an absolutely stunning City Flats Ballroom wedding. If you’ve never been to City Flats Ballroom in downtown Grand Rapids, it is a super cool old building. The ballroom that now hosts elegant weddings and events actually used to be a bank. It features […]
