Sarah & Dustin | Engagement | July 7, 2016

 

I am so excited for Sarah and Dustin’s wedding next June!  These two have wonderfully easy personalities that makes it so apparent how in love they are!  We met at my “office” (a.k.a. picnic table at the beach) to discuss wedding details and watched a fog bank roll into Glen Haven.  Michigan weather is so weird some days.  We started with foggy beach photos and then went a mile up the road to the DH Day barns, where there was no fog (yup, a mile away is completely different weather) and we had some glorious summer sun to play in.

The Hermans | Family | July 6, 2016

I always love seeing the Herman family!  I’ve gotten to see the girls grow from little girls to young ladies.  Grandma and Grandpa are as spunky as ever and everyone seems to be happy and doing well!  And Justine, let’s talk about this young man you have!!  He seems like a great dude!  Maybe we’ll see something shiny for your left hand in the future?  LOL – no pressure!

The Wills’ | Family | July 5, 2016

Grandma bought a cute dress and nice shirt for these two fun kids to have photos on the beach with their parents.  For the age gap between the two children, they were wonderful together!  Total hams!!

Colleen & Sean | Wedding | July 3, 2016

Collen and Sean had all the best details for their farm wedding at the East Jordan Event Barn.  They had great summer weather and a smooth day.  We saw tears from Sean as Colleen walked down the aisle, escorted by her son.  She was stunning in her dress that shimmered pale pink in certain light.

They had ordered and old Apache truck for a photo prop but it had to back out, having lost the fuel pump that day.  Of course, needing no extra reason to drive my ’64, I rolled in with a backup.  Funny thing is they ended up with two old trucks.  Sean’s dad spotted a little red Ford on the way to the wedding and convinced the lady to stop by for a bit.  #truckpeoplelovetoshowoff

Kristy & Vince | Wedding | July 2, 2016

Kristy and Vince and a fantastic summer wedding day on the Island Thyme patio.  These two truly wonderful people, had summer sunshine, a lovey catch phrase between themselves, a dog as a best man, fireworks, sparklers, a stellar band,  AND a s’mores bar!  There is nothing else that could have made the day any better.  Oh, wait, Allison’s puppy thought he needed to walk down the aisle, too – that was pretty funny.  And then there is their custom wedding bands that were just out of this world – complete with engravings of water and earth for Vince and coffee and flatware for Kristy.  AND let’s take a second to send a shout out the ENTIRE Tomczak family, including Dad, all the siblings (how many – 10 of you?), and all the nieces and nephews.

Two Little Smiles | Family | June 28, 2016

These guys!!  I got to play with these two dolls for a while the other night at one of the park service properties over in Glen Arbor.  The brains of children always crack me up!  Presley asked who’s house we were at.  “Uncle Sam’s house”, I exclaimed.  The exchange from there made me chuckle.  “Who is Uncle Sam?”  “The man who takes our taxes, that’s why we get to use his house.”  “Why does he take our money?”  I figured to let it be a that point.  Funny stuff though!

Jessica & Mike | Wedding | June 24, 2016

Jessica and Mike had a wonderful day for a wedding at the Homestead in Glen Arbor.  They had a beautiful mountain top ceremony performed by their brother-in-law.  Jessica’s dad cried as he walked his daughter down the aisle.  I just love it when true emotion shows through in a day.  Her reception room was dressed to the nines and they were graced with a glorious Lake Michigan sunset to round out their day.
