Sneak Peek: Nautical Style Shoot

April 11
Coastal Adventures in Holland, Michigan

Back in the spring, I planned my first wedding style shoot at the wonderful Wizard of Oz Manor. It was a wonderful learning experience and labor of love, and I am excited with how out turned out.

After seeing the gorgeous manor, I knew I had to play up the nautical style, but with a slight twist. In my desire for something different, I drew upon the masculinity of the home and the old world charm it evoked.

A big thank you to all the vendors who brought so much expertise and talent to make this style shoot a wonderful and successful day.

Stay tuned, because this style shoot will be featured on Midwest Bride!

My 2015 Wedding Season

My 2015 wedding season has come to a close with a wedding style photo shoot to cap off the year (a sneak peek will soon follow). After a week of cleaning, organizing and returning rentals, my life and my work space finally feels back to normal and not a haphazard mess of buckets, ribbons and boxes.

You may have noticed that there haven’t been a lot of wedding blog posts from this summer. That’s at the top of my to do list once I receive the photos from all the photographers. Believe me, I’m dying to see the photos and I so am eager to blog about each wedding I was honored to be a part of.

Until then, here are a few photos I took (or my team took) during this past season.
