Katie & Justin | Wedding | October 14, 2016

Katie and Justin had a wonderful fall wedding at Castle Farms in Charlevoix.  They had lovely mild temperatures and finally NO rain!

Katie’s tea length dress, with it’s drop-lace top and stunning waist detail, just might take the top of my list for favorites of all time!  It might even make it to my “someday” dress want list – – if only somebody made training heels for goofy types (aka me) that trip in flats.  Gosh, I’d love to rock out those beautiful shoes she had, too.  And look how cute the white Chuck’s look for after hours!

 

 

The Zywickis | Family | October 11, 2016

We had a super fun day with the Zywicki family in the apple orchard.  These little dudes cracked me up!  Such happy little guys, and busy, and curious!

Abbie & Jake | Homecoming | October 2016

Abbie and Jake had their Homecoming photos done ahead of the dance day – these are smart kids!  I so enjoy spending a little time with young people (man, that makes me sound old) who have themselves together.  It give me hope that tomorrow’s leaders really do exist.

Sue & Jon | Wedding | October 9, 2016

Sue and Jon were united with their families at Camp Firefly at the Homestead in Glen Arbor.  They had a glorious fall day; complete with their children, grand children, some golfing, a bonfire, and a lovely Lake Michigan sunset.

Allison & Ryan | Wedding | October 8, 2016

Allison and Ryan had a mild fall day for a wedding in Queens Courtyard at beautiful Castle Farms in Charlevoix.  Emotions ran high in anticipation of walking down the aisle, and as soon as Ryan saw his bride, the world melted away – tears flowed and smiles were easy to come by.

Michelle & Eddie | Wedding | October 7, 2016

Michelle and Eddie had a lovely church wedding in Charlevoix filled with emotion.  From there, we were able to run around downtown and then move on to Castle Farms for the reception.  We had a wonderful mild Fall evening to go play in the night.  I love Fall days like this.

Stacey & Troy | Engagements | October 2, 2016

Stacey and Troy braved the wet weekend to have their engagement photos done.  We had beautiful moody fall skies and even had a hint of blue showing every now and then.

Maicie & Ken | Wedding | October 1, 2016

Oh, my dear rain, I’ve had quite enough of you!  Maicie and Ken’s wedding day was a wet one!  Despite the weather, Maicie chose to have the wedding outside (with the help of many umbrellas) at Castle Farms in Charlevoix.

We began the day with a first look along the shores of Lake Michigan under clam winds and heavy cloud cover.  From there we traveled to Castle Farms for a ceremony in Queens Courtyard.  I certainly had a case of soggy boots, but it was a beautiful wedding anyhow!

Stephanie & Ryan | Wedding | September 17, 2016

Stephanie and Ryan had a day of absolute perfection at Crooked Creek Ranch in Leelanau County.  We’ve had so much rain this fall, I was worried we were going to get hit again, but instead we got gorgeous fluffy clouds, a rainbow, and a harvest moon to die for!  These two wonderful people had an ease about them and a quick smile for all, that reminded me of long-time friends.

That sneaky moon took forever to rise.  The cloud bank that rolled through, hung on the horizon and delayed the rise by almost an hour.  As our contracted time was over well before that moon came up, we stopped up the road to grab a photo of just the moon, with all intentions of creating something unique in post production.  These creative pieces are always my favorite.  I get to manipulate elements of reality into a version that I see in my head.  I love exaggerating the size of the moon – big and dreamy.

Little Callahan turned 6 months this week and we were able to do some of his photos outside.  Unheard of, it’s November!  Cal is an absolute doll, he is such a happy baby!
