There’s something effortlessly timeless about a wedding that strikes the perfect balance between classic style and modern charm—and that’s exactly what Hannah and Drew pulled off on their big day in Grand Rapids.

Michigan spring mornings have a quiet beauty to them — soft light, blooming trees, and the first real hints of color after a long winter. It wasn't the warmest morning, but it was beautiful and Stoney Creek Metropark made the perfect setting for the Whyte family’s photo session.

With the sun setting over the water and a gentle breeze in the air, they were able to enjoy this laid-back glowy beach session to mark the beginning of this new chapter in their lives as they enter into parenthood.

There's something truly magical about a winter wedding, especially when it takes place in the breathtaking beauty of Michigan. To kick off the 2025 wedding season, I had the incredible opportunity to photograph Nicole and Evan's wedding at the stunning BlueBridge Events, just outside of Traverse City.
