Emily and Keith – Grand Rapids Wedding Photography

Posted on January 9, 2012

Kai and I were really looking forward to working with Emily and Keith after their engagement session. These two were so easy going, and that was also true on their wedding day. Their wedding was really personal, incorporating traditions from Emily’s parents wedding. Kai and I were very touched by both families involvement in the wedding, especially by Emily’s godfather and stepfather who represented her late father in walking Emily down the aisle and father/daughter dance.

My favorite moment of the day was Emily and Keith’s first dance to “Wagon Wheel” by Old Crow Medicine Machine. I’m sure most of the guests had never heard the song before but the trio of strings really grabbed everyone’s attention. The guests all watched, cheered and clapped while Emily and Keith laughed. It was so fun to see the crowd be so involved in this tradition that sometimes can feel stale.

Cara and Andrew – Day Two – Pittsfield Vermont Wedding Photography

Posted on December 11, 2011

Welcome to part II of Cara and Andrew’s wedding weekend! This is a preview of the events on Saturday. The ceremony and reception took place at the amazing Riverside Farms in Pittsfield, VT. Pittsfield is a beautiful, quaint town near Killington.

Reflecting on this wedding day I can say how lucky Kai and I feel to be chosen to photograph it. I mentioned this in the last post, but we just love Cara and Drew, and are so honored that we were able to capture this important event in their lives. Aside from that, this wedding day was perfect. The leaves were changing, but the weather had spiked to 80 degrees. Summer temps in fall … for an outdoor wedding? Seriously? That combined with the spectacular backdrop of a mountain covered in color, it really couldn’t have been any better.

Oh, and the wedding details were awesome too. You’ll see. Enjoy!

Cara and Andrew – Day One – Woodstock Vermont Wedding Photography

Posted on December 8, 2011

We are really excited to post this preview! This is our last wedding to share from our 2011 spring-fall season and it also took place in Vermont! On Friday, Cara and Drew were married in an intimate Catholic church ceremony with just immediate family present. The following day, they had a large, outdoor ceremony and reception at the amazing Riverside Farms in Pittsfield.

We loved having Cara and Drew as clients, and we also love both of them as people. It feels like we had been friends with them forever, and it made their sessions on Friday and Saturday feel so natural and care free.

The following images are from Friday. We started the day with Cara’s preparation (I did her hair and make up!), and from there we photographed a portrait session around the adorable town of Woodstock. Then it was time for the ceremony! That evening, we also photographed their rehearsal and rehearsal dinner.

Enjoy and stay tuned for the preview of the events that took place on Saturday!

Emily and Terry – Chautauqua New York Wedding Photography

Posted on November 28, 2011

We were fortunate enough to do some travelling for weddings this fall! Emily and Terry’s wedding took place in lovely Chautauqua, NY. The ceremony was held at the Chautauqua Institution, and the reception was in a tent on the beautiful property at Terry’s family cabin.

This was a very memorable wedding for me. All brides are happy on their wedding day but Emily truly glowed. I don’t think she stopped smiling all day long! This is even more impressive considering it was 45 degrees and raining – AND the entire wedding was outside. It was such a joy shooting Emily and Terry’s big day and I have no doubt they will keep each other smiling forever!
