WEDDING: Tim and Abby
Grand Haven, Michigan
It was touch and go whether or not Tim and Abby could have their wedding on the Grand Haven pier like they had hoped. The catwalk is now removed and the boardwalk in under construction but the wedding went off as planned with a perfect golden sunset to boot. Thirty of their closest friends and family were invited to the wedding but they had at least thirty more uninvited guests who shared in their day. There were fisherman, photographers, boaters and teenagers but everyone seemed united in Tim and Abby’s love for a few short moments.

WEDDING: Pat and Sally
Grand Haven, Michigan
Pat and Sally had an intimate wedding ceremony with a handful of close friends and family at the historic Khardomah Lodge in Grand Haven. I had never met the couple until their wedding day but I felt instantly drawn to their love story. With a few tears shed during the ceremony with an exchange of unique rings from Misty Wiersema-Jewelers followed by amazing wine and food from the Hearthstone, the day gave me the feeling that they were old friends.
May warmth and happiness follow you always.
The OTHER Camera: Justin and Jackie
Grand Haven, Michigan
Over the past couple of years, I’ve assisted in shooting a handful of beautiful and unique weddings with some super-talented photographers. I know that each one of them has helped me grow in some way and I’m forever grateful.
The workload from my own weddings has kept me from getting around to editing these but my computer told me in a spinning-wheel-of-death kind of way, that I needed to make room and purge some files. It’s funny how my to-do list is sometimes dictated by the squeakiest wheel.
Thank you, Nick Tremmel, for trusting me to shoot alongside you at Harbourfront in Grand Haven. These are a few of my favorites from the day.
GLANCE: Gretchen and Mo wedding
Gretchen and Mo drove from Louisville, Ky. to get married in Grand Haven, Mich. on the shores of Lake Michigan where he proposed on one of their vacations. The weather was beautiful (but hot!) so we found some lovely shade. Can’t wait to show more of this quaint and special wedding!
