I photographed Kim and Dann’s wedding a few weeks ago…it was a beautiful ceremony and reception at Southern Exposure Herb Farm in Battle Creek, Michigan.  If you haven’t been to Southern Exposure, it’s definitely worth checking out.  It was a maze of awesome gardens–and a fun place to shoot!  Congrats to Kim and Dann!

Wedding Photography - Mike and Michelle (Slideshow)

Congrats to Michelle and Mike!  My wife and I went to high school with Michelle back in Illinois, so it was a blast to be a part of her big day–my wife was a bridesmaid and I was the photographer.  The wedding was held at the beautiful home of Michelle’s parents and, despite the rain, [...]

Congrats to Willie and Sakura!  I photographed their wedding a couple weeks ago in Muskegon, and it was a beautiful day!  Their wedding and reception were held at the amazing Frauenthal Theater, and a 1937 Dodge took the newlyweds to the beach for a few pictures.  The day was a ton of fun and I [...]

Engagement Portrait – Jill & Koen

Engagement Portrait - Jill & Koen

Oddly enough, I had two couples last week that wanted to shoot their engagement portraits at the same random park south of Kalamazoo.  Of course, after I saw it, I understood why–it’s a beautiful little park with great light and lots to work with.  Here are a few photographs from my time with Jill and [...]


Engagement Portrait – Chrissy & Neil

Engagement Portrait - Chrissy & Neil

I’ll be photographing Chrissy and Neil’s wedding in August, and we had a fun time wandering around Downtown Kalamazoo a couple weeks ago for their engagement shoot.  They’re a fun couple and I think we really captured that in some of the photos… 


How NOT to choose a wedding photographer…

How NOT to choose a wedding photographer...

I’ve never seen Judge Joe Brown before, but this video made it’s way to me and was too good not to post.
Brides and grooms out there:  don’t be afraid to ask lots of detailed questions!  Your wedding is a one-time affair and your photographer will be capturing the images that will live on for the [...]


KWEP (Kalamazoo & Event Professionals)

KWEP (Kalamazoo & Event Professionals)

Ummm, yes…..this cake was good….  I attended a KWEP event Tuesday evening at The Wine Loft in Kalamazoo.  It was a small turnout due to the snow, but a great group nonetheless.  For any brides and grooms in the planning stages out there, KWEP is an excellent resource to find vendors for your wedding.  This [...]


Engagement Portrait – Ryan & Sarah

Engagement Portrait - Ryan & Sarah

I’ll be photographing Ryan and Sarah’s wedding in October and spent a couple hours with them over the weekend to shoot some engagement portraits.  Ryan and Sarah are a fun couple and since they’ve been relying on Amtrak every time they want to see each other (Ryan’s living in Chicago, Sarah’s in Kalamazoo), they wanted [...]

Halloween Wedding – Anita & Mike

Halloween Wedding - Anita & Mike

No trick-or-treating for me this year….I spent this Halloween photographing Anita and Mike’s wedding at the University of Chicago.  It was quite an experience and I had a lot of fun being part of their day.  The aisle of Bond Chapel was lined with black jack-o-lanterns and the ceremony started with a reading of Edgar [...]

Lake Michigan Wedding

Lake Michigan Wedding

I photographed Kimberly and Matthew’s wedding in Holland, Michigan on Saturday. It was a beautiful ceremony held just a couple feet from Lake Michigan. (In fact, it was so close that I got wet when the waves came in–but it was totally worth it for the shot.) They’re off on an island now and I [...]


The Guys

The weather barely cooperated for Ashley and Ryan’s wedding in Grand Rapids last month. The rain stopped just in time to do some portraits before the ceremony. Here’s one that I liked…
