🏐💗 **Dig Pink Night at McBain!** 💗🏐

The McBain Ramblers took on the Manton Rangers last night and came away with a match victory! But the biggest win was the support shown for our local families battling breast cancer. 💗 Proceeds from Dig Pink Night will help families in our community facing this difficult journey. Thank you to everyone who supported this special night! 🎀💗

“Coming soon to a hangar near you… Captain Cormac!” ✈️

Same little pilot. Same studio. A whole different world.

From a simple studio setup to a scene straight out of a vintage aviation movie. A little imagination goes a long way. Having a little fun playing around with my Hollywood lights with an extremely cooperative model!

Some families are extra special to photograph, and this is one of them! ❤️

It’s such a joy to watch Thomas and Britney’s family grow, and soon sweet Lincoln will have a new title — BIG BROTHER! 🥰

Baby #2 will be here in just a week or two, and we are so excited for this next chapter in their family’s story! 🤰🍼

💍 A TABLE FULL OF MEMORIES… AND HEARTS FULL OF GRATITUDE. ❤️

As we look through these wedding invitations, ceremony programs, and little table favors we’ve saved over the years, we’re reminded of just how many beautiful love stories we’ve had the privilege of witnessing through our cameras.

Over the years, we’ve photographed several hundred weddings, and each one was special in its own way. (Many weddings not included either)
Every couple had a story, every wedding had its own personality, and every little detail represented a day filled with hope, promises, family, and dreams for the future.

We began saving these little keepsakes because they were just too special to throw away. Looking at them now brings back so many memories—not just of the weddings themselves, but of the families, the laughter, the happy tears, and the wonderful privilege of being invited to document such an important day.

Some of these couples are still celebrating anniversaries together. Others have traveled different roads in life. But every wedding was a meaningful chapter in someone's story, and we feel truly blessed to have been there to capture those moments.

Photography has given our family so much more than beautiful images. It has given us a lifetime of memories, wonderful relationships, and the opportunity to share a passion we love. Through the years, family members—including my daughter-in-law, brother, mother, and granddaughters—have stood beside me, helping capture these special days and making this journey even more meaningful.

To every bride and groom who trusted our family with your wedding memories over the years: THANK YOU! ❤️ Thank you for welcoming us into your celebrations, allowing us to do what we love, and becoming part of our family's story along the way.

We may not remember every photograph we've taken, but keepsakes like these remind us that behind every wedding was a couple, a family, and a day worth remembering.

What a privilege it has been to be part of so many beginnings. ❤️

📷 NOW, WE HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU!

Do you recognize your wedding invitation, ceremony program, or table favor in these photos? Maybe you see your own wedding—or that of your parents, children, siblings, or friends!

We would LOVE for you to comment below with the couple's names and wedding year if you recognize something! Please tag the bride or groom, or share this post with family members who might recognize a special keepsake. We'd love to hear your memories and see how many of these couples and families we can reconnect with through this collection!

With heartfelt gratitude,

Judy K. Gilde Photography ❤️

Some kids love football. Some kids love to be outside. And then there’s Charlie—who loves football and loves God. ❤️🏈✝️

Watching him grow, chase his dreams, compete on the field, and keep his faith at the center of who he is makes this season extra special.

Charlie, keep working hard, keep believing, and always remember that the greatest victories aren’t just won on the football field—they’re found in the way you live your life.

Play with passion. Lead with faith. Love God. Be Charlie. 🏈🙏❤️

One of my favorite senior sessions this summer was a pretty special one. 💙

My granddaughter, Bryn is a senior at Beal City High School, and I had the joy of photographing her senior pictures. We had fun exploring, from the sunflower fields to downtown and the beach.

Bryn loves to read, throw disc and shot put, play basketball and is also a fantastic cook and baker. I’m so proud of the beautiful young woman she has become and can’t wait to see what her senior year brings!

Love you, Bryn! ❤️

Some love stories come full circle... ❤️📚
What a special day it was celebrating Matt & Eva!

These two actually met when they were just 2 years old because their moms were best friends. Although they didn't grow up together, life eventually brought them back into each other's lives, and this past Saturday they were married.

Their ceremony was held at the Ardis Missaukee District Library, a place especially meaningful to Eva's family. Her great-uncle, Charles Ardis, donated the library in honor of his wife, Virginia.
One of my favorite details of the day was Eva's wedding dress. It has now been worn by three generations—first by her grandmother, then her mother, and now by Eva. A priceless family treasure.

Following the ceremony, everyone walked to the Rustic Hog for the reception. As the evening came to a close, family and friends continued the celebration with a walk down the street to the Tasty Treat for ice cream—a sweet tradition that brought back so many childhood memories for Eva.

It was also a special day for me because my granddaughter, Alexis, photographed right alongside me from start to finish.

Congratulations, Matt & Eva! Thank you for allowing us to capture such a beautiful day. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness together!

Some stories begin with a chance meeting, are written over time, and finally find their perfect ending... or perhaps, their perfect beginning. ❤️
