New York, New York

Last week Elizabeth and I got to head out to New York City for a family wedding. I wasn’t the one photographing this one, but here are some stills from our three days there, including sunset on the Hudson in front of the Statue of Liberty to close out the trip.



My favorite still from the trip. A man listening to a radio in Central Park.

This is the only image I took during the actual wedding, on the left.

Ashley and Devin - Engagement

I took Ashley and Devin’s engagement pictures at the spectacular Lincoln Brick Park at around golden hour (of course). The fields there looked great, and luckily no ticks!

Here’s to Ashley and Devin’s wedding next May in Fowler!

Katie and Alex were married at the beautiful St Joseph’s Church Rectory in Pewamo. We started the day with some emotional first looks (we even had a fawn visitor), and a perfect first touch on the church steps.

Afterwards we made our way through some farm fields and even got up on an old Oliver tractor.

After the reception we went out to capture some of that golden hour light, and It was so worth it.

Faith and Zach’s wedding in Portland started with beautiful ceremony in St Patrick’s Catholic Church. During bridal photos, we visited Zach’s family farm and got some incredible shots on a combine. The rolling hills were a perfect backdrop for photos that highlighted Zach’s family’s dedication.

The reception at The Knights of Columbus in Portland was a great celebration of Zach and Faith. We capped things off with evening shots of our couple dancing and the golden hour light came through for them big time.

Here’s to the freshly minted Spitzley’s! Congrats - I am so happy for you both!

Chloe and Masons engagement session was spectacular. We dodged the ticks (which are so bad this year) to chase the fading light in the fields of Grand Ravines.

Chloe and Mason danced as the sun set behind them and we snagged some shots that highlighted how perfect they are for each other.

Chantelle and Andrew picked such a cool location for this engagement session. They found a beautiful peony field that allowed us to visit and take photographs. The session took place the night before flowers were cut, and we snuck it in before some major storms rolled in.

Little did we know, once the session ended we would be outrunning tornado warnings and torrential rain to make it home! We had to stop several times on the road due to limited visibility.

The pictures were worth it, and I wouldn’t have changed anything. Here’s to your wedding next year at The Casnovia Barn!

Addie and Trevor were married at the beautiful Dimnent Memorial Chapel on the campus of Hope College. I have had the chance to photograph on the grounds before, but never inside the church for a ceremony. The stained glass was such a fun highlight to feature in their photos.

The beautiful architecture at Haworth Hotel made for an incredible backdrop for photos of Addie, Trevor, and their wedding party.

The warm, sunny day came together beautifully and the reception kicked off with a choreographed first dance that had everybody smiling.

Emmalie and Nathan’s wedding in Kalkaska was a testament to their community. We pulled in to get set up to tents pitched, an aunt wheeling in a load of pine needles to cover some mud in the aisle, a sister finishing up a homemade wedding arch (they cut down some small trees, soaked them in water and then bent them into an arch) , flower girls wandering in a field with daisies and ferns, a baseball game between cousins in front of the aisle, and kids fishing on the dock (and one of the dogs making a funny cameo during the first look).

Their people showed up for them, pitching in to create a beautiful setting for their ceremony. The night ended at a newer venue, Odd Fellow on the Lake, with drinks, dancing, bubble wars, and parking lot baseball. Thank you for letting us document this beautiful day for you, it was an honor!

Poor Bill Nye (the Science Dog) loves summer but hates rain and especially thunderstorms. We have tried everything, turning up the music in the house, giving him dog w**d, and thunder-vest. Nothing really seems to help, he starts shaking the minute rain hits the window. Do any of you have any secrets that can help out Bill (and save us from him panting in our faces while we try to sleep)?
