From meeting Kim in high school, to joining up with her and Michael for their engagement photos on Belle Isle last year, to finally capturing their wedding day this year, it’s a blessing and an honor to journey along with people towards one of their most special days.

I first met Kaylee and Mitchell last summer during their Belle Isle engagement session, and right away I knew they were something special. They’re one of those couples who are just easy to be around — relaxed, joyful, and always laughing together. Their connection is so natural, and photographing them feels like hanging out with old friends. Their Packard Proving Grounds wedding this past July was every bit as fun, heartfelt, and full of personality as they are.

Can you say "idyllic summer session?" I can, because that's what Ally and Emory's engagement session felt like to me. Take a look at their session which involved the best of both worlds; a little bit of city and a little bit of country in downtown Romeo and Ankley Family Farm.

It all started with an inquiry from Kristen. The moment I read it, I knew I wanted in on this adventure. Matt and Kristen had this vision of an intimate celebration that was all about their family and friends and a day that just felt fun, which totally set the vibe for the whole day.

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.
