We had a fantastic day photographing Joanne and Travis’ beach wedding in South Haven.  The weather was questionable all morning and when the rain began to pour down before noon we talked back-up plan with the hope that things would clear up and Joanne and Travis would get the beach wedding they dreamed about. 

By 1:30pm the skies were clearing and while the girls finished getting ready the weather continued to clear.  After a transportation issue, Steve transported many of the guys and coolers to the beach and Jessica hopped the bus with the girls (the bus looked as if it could die at any moment and the girls all prayed they’d make it to the beach).  Everyone arrived at the beach as planned.  :)

Joanne made the long walk across the beach with her father while Travis and their guests watched.  It was so beautiful and as soon as Joanne’s father handed her over to Travis, she fell into his arms.  After the ceremony we headed over to the reception for a wonderful dinner and even better desserts.  It was beautifully decorated and the cupcakes matched perfectly.

Thank you so much Joanne and Travis - we loved working with you and spending your wedding day with you.

(And just for you Joanne, yours was our most favoritest wedding ever!)

My good friend Tracy came down from Traverse City to photograph Alysha and Brian's wedding with me.  We had a great day.  We got to the beautiful Eagle Eye Golf Course and didn't have much time for photographs so we asked Alysha and Brian to come outside with us at sunset and got some beautiful photographs of the two of them.   We got some cute photos of the flower girl and ring bearer too. 








































Funny story...Tracy infomed me about halfway through dinner that I had a tear in my skirt.  Of course since she didn't make a big deal of it I assumed it was a tiny hole and didn't worry about it.  Upon inspection however it was a pretty large tear right on the behind.  Yup.  Fortunatly my skirt was pretty loose and it didn't really show.  So as we are leaving I get in the car and hear the RRRRRRRRIP!  Thank goodness it was after the reception.  Then we stop to get gas on the way home.  I had turned the skirt so the tear was on the side and when we got back in the car I hear another RRRRRRRRRIP.  So now I've got two huge wholes in my skirt and to top things off, Tracy's car won't start!  Fortunatly we are only about a mile from home.  Steve had to come rescue us.  Thus ended our crazy night!  Alysha and Brian - I hope you guys had a GREAT night!  :)

I had two weddings on the East side of the state this weekend and had the pleasure of working with Holly and Bryce on Friday afternoon.  I met up with the girls at Holly's house where we did photographs in her parent's front lawn.  Then we went into Rochester and got some urban photographs.  All of this was followed by a beautiful ceremony and a fabulous reception at Petruzello's.  Thanks so much Holly and Bryce - it was a wonderful day!
