Geni and Andrew ran around downtown Kalamazoo with me for their engagement photos last week. We started the session at Bell’s for a quick drink before heading down to the Kalamazoo Mall. I can’t wait to photograph their wedding at the beautiful Black Sheep Shelter in South Haven later this year in September!
Back in August, Sarah and Bryan met me in Northern Michigan’s Sleeping Bear Dunes for their engagement photos. I’ll be photographing their wedding later this year in September. Can’t wait!
Being a Kalamazoo photographer means I’m right in the middle of Detroit and Chicago and I’m always willing to do a little traveling to photograph some of these great people and places between! Here’s a few from Alyssa and Jason’s engagement session in downtown Detroit. We started at The Skip and ended at Belle Isle. Can’t wait to photograph their wedding coming up in May of 2022!
It was such an amazing experience to be able to photograph Valerie and Patrick from their winter ice skating proposal in Kalamazoo, to their engagement session in Detroit and finally their wedding day in Petoskey Michigan at the Bay Harbor Yacht Club! Here’s a glimpse of their journey through my lens…
These two are getting married on August 29, 2021 at the beautiful Gable Hill Barn in Southwest Michigan. I think it’s safe to say the temperature on their wedding day will be a bit different from their engagement session experience in Kalamazoo last weekend! It was 15° F and windy but I’d say we pulled off some great shots and had some fun doing it!
Being a photographer in Kalamazoo never seems to disappoint. We strolled around the Kalamazoo Mall, got a much needed coffee from Caffe Casa, explored a snow apocalypse on top of a parking structure, and headed to a nearby field to end the session with them wrapped up in a blanket. Check out a few highlights from their session!
Katie and Patrick really nailed it when they came out with me to the campus of MSU! These two will be getting married on July 25th with the ceremony at St Catherine of Siena in Portrage, MI with the reception following at the Kalamazoo Country Club. I look forward to photographing their wedding day! Check out a few highlights from their engagement session.
Can’t decide between WMU campus and Van Buren State Park? Let’s do both! We started on the campus of Western Michigan University at Heritage Hall with a few fun shots in front of the building, we even had time for a quick aerial shot. We then crossed the street to Vandercook Hall (one of my favorite buildings on campus) for some really cool images of the ivy covered brick walls. We also made a quick stop at the fountains behind Miller Auditorium before heading out to Van Buren State Park for sunset on the dunes over Lake Michigan. Also, I may or may not have led them down the wrong path and up a large, unnecessary dune, in the dark, on the way out…as we were eaten alive by mosquitos… Check out the awesome stuff we got!
Melissa and Evan met up with me in Grand Rapids for their engagement photos. We started out in Rosa Parks Circle, made our way to the Grand Rapids Art Museum, The Love sculpture, the Grand River, and finally The Blue Bridge. I’ll be photographing their wedding in March of 2020 in Kalamazoo at the Country Club. Check out a few highlights from their engagement session!
Julie and Cole couldn’t decide on how they wanted their engagement photos to look, so we scheduled two sessions! Their first session was in the Fall on the Kalamazoo Mall, just a bit different than this second session out on the frozen pier of South Haven. Julie and Cole’s wedding is in September with the ceremony at Trinity Lutheran Church in Kalamazoo and the reception at Cityscape on the Kalamazoo Mall. Here’s some of the results from our cold day in February on Lake Michigan…
Wow! It was absolutely freezing during this engagement session, but these two didn’t let that keep them from having a blast! One of the best problems to have on a shoot is when you have a hard time getting photos of them not cracking up! I couldn’t help but to smile along with them as I edited the images from this day. Candiance and Allyn were quite refreshing to work with and I really look forward to capturing their wedding day in August at Res-Les Farms in Southwest Michigan.
