Riverside Receptions is a very pretty outdoor wedding venue with absolutely beautiful landscaping. Katrina and Anthony live out of state, but fell in love with this venue and knew they had to have their wedding there. Unfortunately, when the day came, it rained ALL. DAY. LONG. Well, correction, it slightly drizzled off and on all […]

Old Town Marquee Wedding, May 3, 2019 – Lansing, Michigan Wedding Photographer

My final wedding of the year was at Apple Blossom Chapel in Fennville, Michigan. This one was a smaller and more intimate wedding with only close family. It was another very COLD and windy day, with the ceremony taking place just after dusk. We were able to get a first look in and take a […]

Apple Blossom Chapel Evening Wedding, Saugatuck, Michigan – November 16, 2018

Katelyn and Kyle celebrated their wedding at St. Barts in Newaygo, as they had a connection to that particular church, but Muskegon offered more wedding venue options, so the celebration was held in both Newaygo and Muskegon. We started off the day at Shoreline Inn, where Katelyn got ready with her ladies, and then made […]

Pentwater Pier Wedding and Iris Hills Reception in Pentwater and Ludington, Michigan – September 8, 2018

Geoff and Erin chose Kellogg Manor for their wedding, even though they live out of state, because Erin had such special memories of the area from her childhood.
