Well I would have to say these are some of my favorite sessions to shoot. I think the best part is asking for the couple to kiss and hold it well I shoot about 10 pictures or more.

You need to check out this Cutie girl’s pictures. Every time I look at them they remind me of one of my favorite christian singers Kari Jobe . Check it out for yourself and let me know what you think.

This was an amazing and fun shoot with Katie. I brought a well small but to big for girls to carry fishing boat out to this little lake that I love and got some great shots of her on the boat. I liked what she had to say about the experience and that was, ” I never thought that getting my senior pictures done was going to be this much fun.” While here is the fun we had.

Looking back on these pictures makes me want to have summer again and winter REALLY hasn’t even started here in Michigan. Usually by this time we have 2 feet of snow and tons of slush ~ the part I hate the most about Michigan. Oh summer I could have you 365 days a week.

I first met Jorie when her mother called me to do a Christmas shot with there whole family at there house. She got my card at a Biggby in Kalmazoo. Love Biggby! Love the Patterson Family! We talked then about doing Jorie senior pictures and at that time it seemed like it was going to be such a long time, well that time came and couldn’t believe it. Here I was driving down to come capture her special day and to celebrate a special year. It was perfect! Just the way we had imaged and along with God’s help and his guidance. Well we where out, her dad and brother showed up. That even made it more special and fun. This family reminds me so much of my own and well I think that is why I feel so much at home when I with them. I already let them know that I am capturing all there family pictures from weddings…to birth’s (Jorie). Oh ya I’m going to be there and well it may seem like it’s so far away today, but it will be here before we really know it. That is what I love about photography, it’s not a job. It’s about building relationships and being apart of some pretty amazing people. I love you Patterson Family and thanks for having me capture your amazing family.

I love Jorie’s Smile, she is just the cutest!

She is so PRETTY

We had so much fun doing these shots. We where moving that chair in and out of the road every time a car was coming.

Life goes by really fast, enjoy it well you are where your at.

These are some of my favorite sessions to do. I get to be creative , I get to have the couple kiss and snuggle together for a full two hours ~Love watching people love on each other. This day it was cold out to so I’m sure that Mandy did not mind all the snuggling, it kept her warm.

You two are just adorable!

Love the “Ring”

This is one of my favorites, love the coloring on this photo and Mandy’s smile.

This is also the great part of taking engagement pictures, between all the kissing and having some strange photographer all up in your face with her lens. The two can’t help but laugh! I can’t wait for the wedding day now when I get to have them kiss twice as much and for a much longer time…lol.

Then their is this little man Luca’s. He stoled my heart the first time I met Mandy and Matt at Biggby.

Oh is he not the cutest thing in the world?

Looking forward to the day these people will be able to call each other “Family”. They will make a great one.

So don’t forget to “Save The Date”

I love working with you, Matt and Mandy and I look forward to capturing you special day and other special day’s to come.

The Ceremony!

I always like to photograph some special parts of the Ceremony, like this here where the Dad is opening the door to enter into the church. Such a beautiful moment.

And when they first open the doors before she even starts down the aisle. My second photographer got this shoot!

And I shot this one.

Another great shoot by my second photographer, you can even see where I am at. That is why I use two photographers at weddings.

Special moments! I love capturing just the simple things.

Look at Sara, her face is just glowing

The Kiss!

Again my second photographer got this!

Well come back tomorrow because their is more to come.

Here is just the beginning of Jeremy and Sara’s Wedding Day.

I grabbed my second photographer who happen to be my friend Ashley and I dropped her off to the guys, where she captured all these and did an amazing job.

Then I shoot off to where the girls are at and I start shooting them. Half way in between I have the guys ( just the groomsman) come to where I am at and the girl (just the bridesmaid) go to where the groom is. So this is what I was shooting well Ashley was shooting the guys.

Isn’t she gorgeous?

More to come, so make sure to check back.
