Tips & Ideas

Grand Rapids Wedding Photographers // David + Mary!

Being trusted with a couple’s wedding photos is such a honor to me.  I LOVE being such a special part of my clients’ days, but it is extra special to me when my bride or groom are family.  In this instance, David is my cousin.  I have known him my entire life, so seeing him get married to the super sweet and gorgeous Mary was such a great honor!  Being part of a couples’ day behind the scene is so different than being a guest.  Lots of extra memories are made and fun stories to tell that not everyone would know about!  One of many reasons I love my job!

I loved Mary’s dress!  The bow on the shoulder was perfect 🙂

Small photos of their grandparents that could not be with them on their day were attached to David & Mary’s attire.  (That’s my grandpa Vincent on the right)

I have been lucky enough to get to know Mary over the past few years.  I have always thought she was a pretty girl, but when I saw her as a bride….her full beauty showed through!

The first kiss is always a “must have” shot…..

….but I think I like this one better.  Where they linger a moment longer to soak it all in!
