The best way to reach me the rest of the week would be via phone. Additionally, I should have access to emails late in the evening at most hotels this week. Talk to you soon!

My job is not just a job. I make it my priority to make each and every client feel special. I try to provide the couple with tips and tricks to help their wedding day go smoothly. I am constantly thinking of new ways to go above and beyond their expectations for their wedding photographer. For each wedding I am full heartedly doing all that I can to make the couples wedding day experience perfect.

I always appreciate receiving thank you notes from clients. It helps me to know what stood out most in their mind about the experience. Here is one I received from Heather and Andrew. They have always been so sweet. I remember Heather bringing a little thank you treat for me after her Bridal Portraits – a yummy cupcake. So thoughtful! I really enjoyed working with them and I hope I get to be their photographer again in the future.

“Dear Maranda, Andrew and I can’t thank you enough for doing such a great job with our wedding photography. We appreciate the added personal touches such as the cool gift bags and keep sake boxes, the framed photo of us, the book layouts, personal deliveries and most importantly, your patience. We really enjoyed working with you and won’t forget how you made the whole wedding photography process seem so smooth and easy and turned it into such a positive experience for us. Thank you for a job well done! ~ Sincerely, Heather and Andrew”

Molly and Brian made it past the college rivalries to find their perfect match. Congratulations to Molly and Brian! They were recently married at Franklin Community Church in Franklin, MI. They held the reception at Plum Hollow Country Club in Southfield, MI. I was lucky to meet Molly and Brian through a referral from a previous client – Katie and Brian {click on the link to see Katie and Brian’s wedding} Referrals are a big part of my business and I always appreciate them. Thanks again! We had a lot of fun. Molly and Brian were so laid back and easy to work with. Molly’s laugh was contagious and could light up a room. The speeches at the reception were great and the day was beautiful.

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.

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!

Happy Cinco de Mayo

Maranda — Tue, 05 May 2009 23:04:31 +0000

Mexico needs some love today. In honor of Cinco de Mayo I wanted to post some pics of one of Justin and my finds from a trip. We both realized we have a soft spot for Mexican Art and fell in love with a butterfly covered skull. I know it sounds weird, but once you look at it, it just makes you happy and relaxed. You get memorized by all the fine details painted into such a small space. It was love at first site. If your a fan, you can check out more work by Alfonso Castillo. Happy Cinco de Mayo!!
