Grand Ledge Wedding at the Opera House - Jessica and Jeff married!

The Opera House is nestled in a beautiful garden of flowers next to the river, right in the heart of downtown Grand Ledge.  It was such a serene place for a romantic ceremony and evening full of laughter and fun.  What better way would there be to describe Jessica and Jeff's fabulous wedding.  I adore this couple, you may remember them from our apple blossom engagement session earlier this spring.  I knew from that moment on that we would have a wonderful time photographing their fabulous wedding.  I felt like family the entire day as I moved through each activity, clicking the shutter and enjoying every experience.  It was a day full of so much emotion and I couldn't help but get caught up in it myself.  I shared such a precious moment with Jessica and her mom as they finished putting her dress on, took a deep breath gazing into each others eyes, and just cried and laughed together over the excitement of what was to come.  Thank you so much Jessica and Jeff and to all your family and friends, it was a true joy to have been part of this day. We wish many blessings to you in journey of marriage together!

Stephanie's natural beauty really shows in her senior pictures! Her sweet smile and soft looks really do describe her extremely sweet personality. It was so nice to get to meet Stephanie and hang out with her for an evening in some beautiful nature spots. Oh and Stephanie had some serious style... all her outfits were great senior picture outfits. I sure have had some really great seniors this year! I hope you enjoy. - Alyssa

Kids Barn session | Declan is one! | Associate Alyssa

Declan was seriously a dream to photograph. He was so easy going and happy. Erica and David have been blessed with a happy child! I have a feeling Declan has many adventures in his future; he has already lived in 2 countries and 2 states! Erica thanks for letting me take such precious pictures of him at one year. Declan is such a cutie which you will witness in the images below! Mom is really funny, as you can see from his laugh below! Declan got really serious when the chickens came around.... I love his face!

Crystal Gardens Detroit wedding | Kyle and Amanda are Married! | Associate Alyssa

I know that I say this in all my posts.... but it was such an honor to photograph Kyle and Amanda's special day. I had the chance to meet Kyle and Amanda just this last year, and it was so great to meet both of their families and friends in their home towns outside of Detroit, MI. What is sooo great about Kyle and Amanda (and adorable) is that they met when they were just toddlers. How stinkin' cute!! And now they are married!! One way you can tell that Kyle and Amanda are amazing people is by their wedding party. They had a HUGE wedding party that made the day a lot of fun, all day long. Amanda and Kyle surround themselves with some great people and the best thing about being a wedding photographer is that I get to hang out with them all day.. all the way from getting ready, to moments before walking down the isle, in the party bus, and I even get to share laughs and tears during speeches at the reception. It was a great day and I am so glad I was able to be a part of it. Now take a look at this beautiful couples pictures below! See if you can find someone hanging upside down in a tree.... I wasn't kidding when I said they had a fun wedding party...
