We had such a wonderful time celebrating Kaitlin & Sam, which started with their closest friends and fur baby helping them get ready at The Daxton Hotel in Birmingham. Then we headed to the iconic Planterra Conservatory where all of the fun truly began. We had teary private vows, sentimental heirlooms were passed down, their dog Linus kissing everyone who would let him, a beautiful ceremony officiated by their best friend, and a packed dance floor. There were also many beautiful moments honoring the groom’s Jewish heritage including kiddushin, breaking the glass, a gorgeous ketubah signing that they commissioned from a talented Jewish artist, and of course the hora dance!

Mazel tov, Kaitlin & Sam!!

Best day with Michelle and Tanner at the charming Barn 1888. We had teary private vows, the family dog walking down the aisle, mini golf before the ceremony, sunshine, belly laughs, and a sparkler send off. Truly, zero dull moments!

I met Tanner a few years ago while working together at a wedding (I did photo and he did video) so getting to photograph his (and Michelle’s) big day was so so special. Michelle & Tanner’s family and friends are some of the coolest, down to earth people. If you’re reading this, I genuinely enjoyed every moment with you guys!

With an iconic West Michigan barn as the backdrop, fall colors in the distance, and a full-sun October day, it was pretty much the perfect setting.

Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Menghini! 🤍

Hey friends, I’m Rachelle! (rhymes with Michelle, some of you might wonder why I put this here but if you only knew the amount of times I get called Rachel lol) Here are some interesting facts you might not know about me, even if you’ve known me awhile.

1. As much as Ryan will tell you our dog Charlie is his soul dog (a line he stole from me), he is indeed MY soul dog thank you very much.

2. I used to spend hundreds on skincare products until I got a prescription for Tretinoin. Tret is that girl.

3. I’m rereading ACOTAR (on book 3) and reminded how freaking good of an author Sarah J. Maas is.

4. Type B moms would faint if they knew I started Christmas shopping in July this year.

5. I love visiting big cities but I don’t want to live in one. No shade to the people that do, that lifestyle looks so chic on you.

6. If I could photograph anyone in Michigan right now it would be Destination Wedding Planner.

7. After years of claiming I’m not a nap person I’ve found myself taking quite a few lately and I don’t hate it.

8. Something I want to do in this off season is paint.

9. My maiden name is Boudry and my dad’s family is from Belgium.

10. My favorite memory from this past summer was camping with our besties.

If you made it this far, thank you for being here. So excited to have ya here on this little corner of the internet. Let me know if we have anything in common!

Sometimes you just want to see pretty wedding photos and sometimes you want to be nosy and get the deets. So here’s both!

Hey friends, I’m Rachelle! A few years ago I used to share fun facts about me on Fridays so you could get to know me better. I think it’s time we do that again. Here are some interesting facts you might not know about me, even if you’ve known me awhile.

1. My second favorite month of the year is October, first is June. Forever a summer girl but fall and Halloween activities are so dang fun.

2. I love thrifting and we have so many good options in the Holland/Zeeland area. I don’t always have a lot of time to thrift though between work and 3 kids, so I’m constantly on Poshmark and Depop.

3. I love snowboarding and try to go at least once per year. I want this to be the year the boys take ski lessons so they can eventually join me on the slopes.

4. I killed my sourdough starter this year due to neglect.

5. We’ve fostered 3 dogs this year, all through Midwest Australian Shepherd Rescue.

6. If I could photograph anyone in West Michigan right now it would be liz mkhitarian & BLAIR WITH NO E.

7. I try not to yuck someone else’s yum. You do you boo.

8. Catch me always signing up for the local turkey trot. See you soon Zeeland Turkey Trot 8k.

9. We’re taking the kids to Disney World for the first time next month and I’m sooo pumped.

10. My body has been craving yoga lately but I haven’t found there to be a big yoga community here? If I’m missing something please please enlighten me!

If you made it this far, thank you for being here. So excited to have ya here on this little corner of the internet. Let me know if we have anything in common!
