Mr. & Mrs. Angel and Terry Jackson

I had the great privilege of spending my New Year's Eve 2009 photographing the wedding of Angel & Terry Jackson. The wedding was beautiful and unique, giving me the opportunity to shoot things I'd never seen before. Their kids are absolutely darling and kept many of us entertained all day. These two are surrounded by their loving friends and family (so many that this is the largest wedding party I have ever worked with!) and their unwavering faith in God. I had a great time ringing in the New Year with them, and wish all of them the very best.

Mr. & Mrs. Emily and Michael Warari

The day after Christmas I had the awesome privilege of photographing the wedding of Emily Hop and Michael Warari. They were married at Calvary Christian Reformed Church in Wyoming, and their reception was held at English Hills Terrace on West River Drive. It was a beautiful occasion, and they are one of the sweetest and most in love couples I have ever met. Emily was a beautiful bride, and everyone could tell that Michael thought so most of all!

Holiday Cheer!

The holidays are full of great photos of family and friends, and I am blessed to have some of the best around. I also didn't find a shortage of fun holiday themed photos to take around the brightly decorated homes of my grandmothers. I hope all of you also had an eventful holiday!

The Palinsky Sisters

I had the great pleasure on Tuesday of capturing the beautiful Palinsky sisters! We braved the snow and ice to do a fun shoot at the Wharton Center in East Lansing. A more fun pair of siblings I have never met!

Millenium Park

So yesterday I ventured out into the winter weather to walk around Millenium Park in Kent County. It's a beautiful place, and I'm sure it's gorgeous in the spring! I even found a few things to shoot. There were some swans, but I didn't have a long enough lens with me to catch them in action. Winter can be beautiful too!

Emily and Michael: Engaged!

Thanksgiving weekend I had the great pleasure of shooting Emily and Michael's engagement shoot at Palmer Park in Wyoming. They're a beautiful couple, and shooting them was a lot of fun. I think we made the best of the cold, and got some really cute shots out of them trying to keep each other warm! They're getting married in less than a month, and I just can't wait to be there!

Liz and Jeremiah: Engaged!

I had the awesome privilege of photographing a great couple on the campus of GVSU. Jeremiah and Liz are so cute and in love, it was probably some of the most fun I've ever had at a shoot! Enjoy you guys, and I think you're great!

Andrea and Forrest: Engaged!

I had the great pleasure recently of shooting engagement pictures for a great couple, Andrea and Forrest. They chose two awesome locations in Muskegon, and we had a blast, laughing through the whole shoot! They're getting married in July, and I can't wait to be there! Enjoy you guys!

The Shaft Family

This weekend I got to shoot one of the greatest families, the Shafts! I've known them for more than half of my life and I think their personalities really came through at this shoot. We were playing and having a good time, and we ended up with a few of my favorite photos. What a great surprise to have them all together since two of the sisters moved away! I'm so happy with this shoot and that all the circumstances came together.

Shannon and Brent: Engaged!

I had a beautiful engagement shoot this week with Shannon and Brent, a fantastic couple! While editing the photos, I couldn't help but get excited for their wedding in May! They're absolutely beautiful and their love for each other so evident it's contagious! I know I'm getting sappy, but I can't help it.
