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 […]

Wedding days are simultaneously exciting, romantic, fun, and sometimes bittersweet for us photographers. Gabi and Arthur’s beautiful black tie wedding was definitely all of those things. Over the last few months, Gabi has felt like so much more than a client. We instantly connected over Instagram and have spent so much time getting to know […]

This is just the dreamiest shoot! If you love pink, orange, and big fluffy flowers, this shoot is for you! Not long ago, my friend Sam and I were chatting about all the cool murals we had noticed around downtown. It didn’t take long for us to decide they would be cool spots for a […]

When Sheila from Copper & Lace event rentals reached out about a boho terracotta themed styled shoot she was putting together at Venue3Two asking if I wanted to participate, my answer was an immediate “Yes!” Venue3Two is one of my favorites here in West Michigan. The long list of other incredible vendors collaborating to bring […]

Happy 2021, everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. It’s hard to believe that such a difficult and strange year has come and gone.

This past Saturday, I had the honor of capturing a rustic, yet elegant, campground wedding that was fourteen years in the making. Yes, Alana and Chris tied the knot on their fourteenth anniversary! So amazing! Alana first contacted me this past spring, a few months into COVID. While a lot of wedding planning was very […]

I don’t even know where to begin. This wedding was an absolute fairytale! Last Saturday, my beautiful little sister married her very own prince charming. (And I swear, him being in his army blues made him look even more prince-like!) I have never seen Marissa smile as much as she has since Paul came into […]

When Marissa and Paul got engaged in July and announced they wanted to get married in September, we weren’t sure if we would be able to do “all the wedding things” in such a short period of time. Luckily she has a wonderful sister-in-law that does event planning! Emma, this backyard garden themed bridal shower […]

2020: The year of the microwedding. This year has thrown everyone some curveballs; some bigger than others! But what we do with those curveballs is up to us.
