Everything about Mariah and Josh’s wedding was absolutely gorgeous. Also, I’m just going to put it out there….. I personally think September is the absolutely IDEAL month to hold a wedding in Michigan. The temperature is usually perfect, the skies are usually beautiful, and all of the summer flowers tend to still be in bloom. […]

Verdonis/Harris Catering and Event Center Wedding – Muskegon, Michigan – September 28, 2019

Last winter, I got a phone call from my brother’s sister-in-law, who was planning a destination wedding in North Carolina. My sister-in-law had recommended me to her, since they didn’t know who any of the photographers in that area were, and I happily agreed to photograph her wedding! Then, about a month later, I got […]

A Matter of Taste at Tapawingo Wedding Photographer – September 21, 2019 – Ellsworth, Michigan

For this wedding, I was hired to do a bit of a “mini” type package, for about 3 hours. Although I do normally only book full day weddings, I am happy to fit in the occasional shorter package on Friday, Sunday, and the rare date that I still have open within 3 months of the […]

Wedding Photography 15+ Years ago Compared to Now

Back in August 2019, I had the pleasure of photographing this, what I would call, big fat Catholic wedding! I started out with a quick stop to the groom’s family home, then on over to the church to get photos of the bride and her girls getting ready, and from there on out it was […]

St. Simons Catholic Church Wedding and Lincoln Hills Golf Club Reception in Ludington, MI

Oh this wedding. This had to be one of my most memorable weddings of all time! It seems like all summer it kept raining on the weekends and this particular weekend was no exception! This isn’t a huge deal for anyone that has an indoor wedding venue, but it certainly presents some challenges when you […]

I try to squeeze in at least a couple of trips to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan at least a couple of times a year, so I was so excited to book this one at Pinewood Lodge! Au Train is just a short drive away from Munising and Pictured Rocks so there are lots of […]
