Lizzy senior session




It's been too long since I've had a senior session...
This girl is so beautiful that I really wanted more time with her but the heat and schedule conflicts prevented that. We were in the Thumb of Michigan which can be a challenge since the terrain is so flat for miles but, there is a nice little park on the Cass River where we went. Lizzy was a great subject subject and I think I may ask her if I can work with her again pro-bono just for more portfolio shots.

Jason and Tammy





I travel out of town for most of the weddings that I photograph, so for this wedding last weekend, I left early so I could grab a bite to eat in downtown Ann Arbor. I love Ann Arbor almost as much as I love Grand Rapids.
The wedding took place in the quiet town of Milan. The sister of the bride was a co-officiant and assisted the pastor, that was pretty cool. I was a little worried when the pastor requested that I not use my flash, usually they don't mind. However, I felt cheated because all of the guests decided to take pictures and use their flash. Oh well.
The couple rode away in a 1948 Kaiser Frazer, I wanted to spend an hour with the couple and the car but hungry guests awaited our arrival and we did not have much time for photos. darn!

Dan and Stacy





















Last weekend I photographed the wedding of a co-worker, Stacy. I work with Stacy at Lincoln Country Club, part-time, which is where she had her reception. It was so strange being served and waited on by my co-workers. Dan and Stacy have been together for years so it was exciting to see them finally tie the knot. Stacy kept giggling during the ceremony, I think it was because she was just so happy! We took some goofy photos out on the practice green of the golf course and if we had had more time, we would've went for a spin on a golf cart!

Cass City wedding





I recently traveled to the Thumb again to photograph a wedding of a family friend. I love going back for "business" purposes. The ceremony took place north of town at the father of the bride's farm. It was such a beautiful day, a little on the sunny side, but perfect temperature and a slight breeze. The reception was at a hall in Bad Axe, MI and the couple gave all of the guests a bottle of homemade BBQ sauce, it was delicious!
