The way to make memories
Jenn and Tom put in a lot of personal touches to make their wedding day memorable and special. They selected the Jabberwok Inn in Monterey, CA as the setting for the wedding day. It was a great setting for the family to spend some time together and celebrate. Here are some of my favorite images from the day.
Jenn has fond childhood memories of Snapdragons and chose to have her bouquet made of them. The bouquet looked beautiful and smelled great.
Tom’s brother officiated the ceremony. The outline of the ceremony was sitting on a table and I loved using it as a backdrop to their rings. Especially with “Beginning” labeled at the top of the page.

Jenn’s mom made her dress {awesome job Mom!}.
The Bocce Ball Court was a great feature of Jabberwork Inn, especially since this is a family with love for Bocce. {me too!}
Congratulations to Jenn and Tom!

West Michigan Love
Congratulations Rob and Kelly! Rob and Kelly were married at Heritage Christian Reformed Church Byron Center, Michigan. The reception was held in the ballroom of one of their favorite restaurants, The Walldorff Brewpub and Bistro in Hastings, Michigan. The weather called for rain, but it mostly held out and we had a nice overcast day – great for photography!!! We had to stop at a few places along the way on the drive to the reception. You can see some of those spots below. One of them was to get a shot in front of the hair salon where Kelly works. The pic turned out cute. :-) Here are are a few of my favs. Enjoy!
Loved the girl’s earrings. They look so cute with the strapless dresses.

Advice from a Bumblebee
When photographing a wedding, a bride had the little notebook above. I thought it was a really cute saying and wanted to share it with you. Do something special today to enjoy the present. Happy Summer!

Duke Gardens with Kristi and Christian
I am excited to share some photographs from the portrait session of Kristi and Christian. This is Kristi and Christian’s first official portrait session and I am so happy that I was able to do it for them. We headed to Duke gardens and were blessed with a nice, not so humid day to play around the gardens.

Riding in on a Horse-drawn Carriage
Congratulations to Angie and Eric. They were married at The Homestead in Timberlake, NC. The ceremony was held outside under a gazebo. The reception was indoors at The Homestead. It was a nice all in one location for a ceremony and wedding. Angie surprised Eric by reserving a horse-drawn carriage to bring the girls up to the ceremony location. They arrived to the ceremony in style in the carriage. Anige and Eric then used the carriage to ride off after the ceremony. It was a great carriage and really fit with the look and feel of their wedding. We had perfect weather to enjoy being outside. Thank goodness the humidity was lower and the rain stayed at bay. Congratulations again!
