Some weddings are beautiful because of the venue or the details. Others are unforgettable because of the people at the center of them. Maddi and Trenton’s nautical-inspired wedding at Bay Pointe Inn was both. As both Maddi’s cousin and her photographer, I experienced this wedding from a uniquely personal perspective, and every moment meant that […]

Some wedding days have a certain energy about them from the moment you arrive. Tonya and Andrew’s lakeside wedding at North Lake Events was one of those days. Throughout the entire celebration, there was a feeling that was impossible to miss: joy. Not just from the bride and groom, but from every person who came […]

Stephen and Alexandria’s story proves that love doesn’t always follow a straight line; it often circles back when the timing is just right. They met in high school. Drifted. Grew up. Lived life apart. And then, years later, something brought them back. Not to who they used to be, but to who they’d become. Their […]

Lakeside Wedding Full of Rustic Charm & Fireworks I can’t think of a better way to spend a chilly, overcast Saturday than wrapped up in the joy of a lakeside wedding like Emily and Glen’s. These two are the kind of couple who make everyone around them feel instantly at ease—laid back, kind, and so […]

As we ring in the New Year, I’m thrilled to share an unforgettable celebration I had the privilege of capturing this past November: an elegant Etre Farms wedding that was as timeless & stunning as it was fun. This was my second time at Etre with Laurenda Marie Photography in 2024, and I’m confident in […]

Yesterday, I had the honor of photographing Tim and Mara’s classic October wedding, and what a stunning celebration it was! Mara put so much thought into every detail; it was fun to see it all come together so beautifully. The day began at St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church, where Tim and Mara exchanged vows […]

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!) […]

Happy Wedding Season, everyone! I’m blown away that it’s already June. I have been anxiously awaiting this wedding ever since I met Ashley and Charlie at their engagement session last year. I am beyond thrilled to share this preview of their big day at Leona Road—a pretty cool Grand Rapids venue that used to be […]

Well, it’s been a minute since my last blog post hasn’t it? 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. Not only was it at one of my new favorite West Michigan venues, Glasshouse […]
