Sam and Kyle said "I Do" under a tall weeping willow tree with Spring Lake as a beautiful back drop at Spring Lake Country Club on a warm and windy day. It was such a fun day with an exceptional party. Congrats to the newly weds!

I think Kent Country Club is probably one of my favorites West Michigan country clubs because of its historic character and charm. It's such a perfect spot for an elegant wedding, and that's exactly how I would describe this wedding. Lindsay and Chris exchanged heartfelt vows overlooking the great rolling hill views under a beautiful birch branch arbor on a perfect sunny July day. It was such an amazing day of laughter and love, thank you for sharing such wonderful memories with me and allowing me to document your special day of love.

I think one of my favorite moments from Peter and Jessica's wedding was during the ceremony. Peter got down on his knee and gave Riley a ring, promising a commitment not only to her mom but to Riley as her new father and their new family of three. There was not a dry eye in the audience, it was truly touching. I loved that we laughed all day (usually at Peter) and I was able to capture the genuine, fun loving, authentic, and joyful bond between these two. Hanging out with Peter and Jessica is just fun, simply put. Thank you so much for trusting me to capture these memories, it's been an honor to photograph this special time of becoming a new family. May God bless you as you enjoy this journey together.
It's a pretty exciting thing for a wedding photographer when you have a bride with a flower crown or a cathedral veil, but when you have a bride with both... it's like wedding photographer mind explosion overload. There was just so much pretty at every turn for this wedding, not to mention a couple that was simply lovely together. Props to Ashley, she is seriously a trooper rocking her stiletto Christian Louboutins all day and even hiked into the woods to get some pictures with the horses we found along our adventures, in said stiletto Louboutins. Couldn't have asked for more, congrats to you both. It was a beautiful, emotional, heartfelt day of celebrating love, I'm honored to have documented it.
