Kristi and Ryan - Married

Photography is so much more than a job for me. And when I come across people like Kristi and Ryan, I am so thankful that my passion has also included me in the lives of such great people. This wedding felt more like I was a friend along their entire wedding day. Kristi is a past bridesmaid of one my past weddings and I couldn't be happier that she choose me to document her wedding day. Since the day I met with Ryan and Kristi for their engagement session, I knew this day was going to be beyond amazing, and I was so right. To start the day off, Ryan surprised Kristi with a limo that brought the girls out to Vineyard. He also surprised her with a second wedding band (and may I say - gorgeous.) Future grooms - take note! :) The love of Kristi and Ryan, combined with their fun and wonderful bridal party, a gorgeous ceremony setting (Mackinaw Valley Vineyard,) and a rain free day (thank you Mother Nature for cooperating) this wedding was one I will always cherish. Enjoy your sneak Peek!

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! Ryan - you are one lucky guy. :)

the picture on the right is groomsmen and ushers - see how there is an usher that is a woman, she's Ryan's sister. Love that idea!

Yes, the sky was a little crazy. It didn't rain on us, but it sure thought about it all day.

Thank you so much.

Jennifer and Bill - Married

It's rare when I don't meet the bride or groom until the wedding day, but in the case of Bill and Jenn, it just so happens our first meeting was on the day of their wedding. BUT - they had full trust in me. My husband used to work with Jenn's dad, I photographed her stepsisters senior photos and had many email conversations with her mom. And I have to say - the day went off wonderfully. It was a beautiful day full of love and joy. It was a true pleasure to be in the company of so many people all there to celebrate their love for Jenn and Bill and to wish them well on their new life together. I absolutely adore the images of Bill and Jenn together - as you can see their love for each other shining through - and there is nothing that can imitate that. Enjoy your sneak peek!

Beautiful Ladies

Love this!

this little girl watched me the entire ceremony and she was just too cute not to snap a picture of. :)

they were bustling her dress - but love her expression. So much fun.

So perfect together

LOVE THIS!

Gorgeous couple

so in love

This is the hug right after Jenn's dad read a poem that he wrote. It actually brought tears to my eyes - on how sweet it was.
