She’s quiet and patient. He’s shy and funny. They are best friends. They’ve been together through everything and more to come. I want to keep them in my pocket. I want to bottle their love and open it when I need proof. Proof that love like Donna and Adam’s still exists. Their love is so real, pure and inspires me to not only be a better photographer but a better person. That is powerful stuff. I don’t care if it seems corny. It’s the truth.
Donna and Adam…they are so many words I could write, but all I can say is thank you. Thank you for allowing me to document and follow your love story. From your engagement images to your wedding day, I felt so welcomed. Much love and appreciation…
This may be my favorite series of first look images ever. Many thanks to Kelly for assisting.
Ok, I love black and whites, I just can’t stop myself. After the ceremony, we went to the riverfront downtown Grand Rapids and got in a few shots before the rain started.
I actually kind of like rainy days. Not complete downpours but just a little sprinkle. The sky looks amazing and the light is dewy and perfect. Plus, it’s a perfect time for a cute umbrella shot.
Donna is pure perfection and beauty.We headed down the street to a building with a large overhang and let the rain fall and create great natural light to shoot with.
Their reception was held at San Chez and I loved every DIY detail Donna and Adam worked so hard on.
Ok, not to toot my own horn, but I think my photos look really good on a cake. It was such a clever idea and total surprise.
I love when couples choose to do a photo booth with me. I loved interacting with all the guests and bridal party.
Crazyness always ensues later in the evening…
Donna and Adam, thank you for an amazing, beautiful day!
Love them and their story. You captured them beautifully, too. I enjoyed sharing this special couple with you!
Oh, Grand Rapids is a beautiful place. That is where I am from! I love the mustaches on a stick idea.
