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 […]

Watervale Inn Wedding – Arcadia, Michigan – September 14, 2019

Nestled “up north” in Gaylord, Michigan, is the beautiful Sojourn Lakeside Resort. This was my first time doing a wedding here and I loved it! It is such a pretty place nestled in the woods! I’m glad we had the time to tour the property and get lots of portraits in various locations because I […]

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 […]

Watermark Country Club Wedding – Grand Rapids Michigan Wedding Photography

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 […]

I always love getting the opportunity to photograph weddings right here in the city where I live. Our city has a lot of nice areas by the water, and an up and a growing downtown. There’s a reason our motto here is #watchusgo ! It is only getting better! We started out the day with […]
