Jacobs wedding

This time, I traveled south to Plainwell,  to photograph the wedding of a couple I barely know and had only met once prior to the big day. I always say, it's good luck when it rains on your wedding day and as with the last wedding I shot, yes it rained, in fact we had wind and thunderstorms, but luckily not until after the ceremony and all of the formal photos!! Every time I travel to shoot a wedding, it's an experience; whether it's 40 miles or 400...it doesn't matter, every trip imprints images into my brain. These are the images that I try to include in my blogs; it could be 2 images, it could be 6. Even though this blog shows only a few, the few that I have chosen are the ones I feel represent the day. I hope you enjoy my blog and if you do, please tell your friends :)

Reynolds wedding

I've just finished editing their wedding and realized...'shoot (no pun intended) I forgot to post a preview blog.'  I am so sorry Jake and Kristi.
For those of you that weren't there, a quick recap of how the day went:
It was crazy hot out during the day and just before the ceremony storm clouds rolled in and it began to thunder. Everyone looked a little worried but I kept thinking 'it's GOOD luck if it rains on your wedding day, I hope it rains on my wedding day'  It began to rain softly just as the couple recited their vows. I wish I could remember some of the words because it was awesome, definitely the most creative vows I've ever heard. All throughout the ceremony, people on tubes and kayaks floated by on the river shouting words of encouragement and congratulations, it was quite entertaining! After the formal photos and some goofing around, we went into the tent for dinner and the rain came in torrents! Perfect timing!

These are my favorite shots from that day.
