Golden hour bridals & reception moments from a sweet, romantic July wedding day 🍇

I also feel like it is necessary to give you all an apology for my VERY long posting hiatus haha! It was not intentional, but due to the fact that (as some of you may know from my story posts) my husband and I are expecting our first in March🤍 Seriously the biggest blessing from God and we cannot wait for our little one to get here! But, with full transparency, the first half of my pregnancy was pretty rough hence the posting hiatus. As a result, I focused all of my extra energy on keeping up with editing and making sure I gave my 2025 clients the best experience I could which left sharing your beautiful memories on the back burner for the time being. I am, however, feeling so much better now and am so excited to share all of the sweet moments that have been waiting for their time to shine!

Second shooting for my girl who is soon-to-be a bride (!)

Avery & Tyler’s December proposal on Lake Michigan was a little chilly but filled with so much love and joy. I’m so excited for these two especially because Avery and I used to work together at a golf course in the summer. Capturing such big and special moments is always so special, but especially these two who I’ve seen grow from high school sweethearts to this big part of starting their future together 🌊🫶🏼

Special little moments throughout a rainy June wedding of a sweet sweet bride and groom 🕊️

Introducing to you: The First Wedding I Captured After My Own Wedding

Weddings do hit a little different after you’ve planned and experienced your own 💌

Second shooting for the wonderful !

This fall engagement session with Dezi and Nathan was 100% giving You’ve Got Mail vibes and if you know me you know I loveeee a good romcom, so to be living in one was everything and more. We started out in downtown GR (which you guys will see photos from eventually hehe) and then came to the park for golden hour with all of the beautiful fall colors. To end the session under the tree with some cuddles and reading pride and prejudice (iykyk) and then a little leaf fight was such a dream to document. It was much a fun session filled with laughter and love 💌

With today being Ash Wednesday, I felt it was the perfect day to share just a handful of my favorite photos from this beautiful Catholic wedding from this past November. God’s presence on the Noeker’s wedding day was so strong and so beautiful as they were surrounded by their loved ones and His presence. As the church was filled with the late autumn morning sun, it was also filled with heartfelt tears and intentional moments that I’m so blessed to have had the pleasure of documenting. I can’t wait to share so many other beautiful photographs and memories from this day!
