Grand Rapids Wedding Photographer - Wedding Details

Every wedding features such beautiful and carefully chosen details that I wanted to show off some of them from my 2010 weddings. Some of these have been chosen and crafted by the bride and her family and friends and others from amazing wedding planners and vendors. A huge thanks to the many vendors in the Grand Rapids and West Michigan area that make weddings so beautiful, unique, and fun!

Northern Michigan Engagement Photography - Samantha and Patrick

A beautiful, snowy day on the Muskegon River in Newaygo made a great setting for Samantha and Patrick's engagement session this past weekend! Samantha and Patrick grew up in Fremont and even went to high school together but never really knew each other until 2 years ago when they were re-introduced by Samantha's dad. They are a wonderful couple and clearly meant for each other! Blessings to you both as you continue to plan your wedding and grow closer to each other! Thank you both for giving me the privilege of photographing your wedding next spring - I look forward to it!














We couldn't resist a snowball fight in this snow!



We got nice and toasty again courtesy of hot cocoa and cappucinos at the Riverstop Cafe in downtown Newaygo. Yum!

Grand Rapids Wedding Photography - Jessica & Brian

Jessica and Brian were married on October 16 in Grand Rapids on best fall days of the year. What a blast it was to spend the day photographing them with their family and friends! They had a beautiful ceremony followed by a fun reception at the Van Andel museum. It is always a blessing to see couples begin their married lives together. I could clearly see that Brian and Jessica have the support of loving family and awesome friends as they begin this journey together. Congratulations and best wishes to you both!

























Congratulations also to Alysha (Jessica's sister) and Greg who were married last month in South Carolina!

Grand Rapids Maternity Photography - Jesus, Clara, and Baby

Jesus and Clara are looking forward to meeting their little one on February 10! Clara makes a beautiful and glowing mom to be! We were fortunate to enjoy a day that was "warm" for December in Michigan for their photography session - we had a great time all around Grand Rapids! I met Clara and Jesus through Clara's sister, Adrienne, who is a wonderful stylist at Pure Salon downtown. She is getting married this coming April - congratulations! Their families will have so much to be thankful for in 2011 - a new little baby boy or girl coming to Clara and Jesus and a wedding for Adrienne. Blessings to the Rivera and Menchaca families this holiday season!
