Spring Lake Wedding Photographer // Matteo & Natalie – Associate Wedding!

Remember a while back when I mentioned that we were shooting two weddings in one day?!  Well…..this is how we did it!  Recently we hired an associate photographer named Kristi.  Kristi is so sweet, as kind as can be and has a great eye for gorgeous photos!  As time goes on and business continues to grow, our goal is to have a good team of photographers to capture your special memories and milestones….starting with this wonderful lady right here!

We have SO many inquiries and wonderful couples that we would love to add to our wedding schedule, but honestly, I can only be in one place at one time!  Kristi will be here to take on a whole other calendar of weddings while expanding our wedding collection price range.  All in all…..it’s a good thing!  Please welcome Kristi to our team!

And…..after saying all that, here is a recent wedding that Kristi photographed.  After seeing these images, I’m pretty excited for the future!

Matteo & Natalie’s wedding took place on a beautiful Lake Michigan beach overlook on a perfectly sunny day.  They planned this event all the way from Florida where they live with the help of Aletha from Pearls Events.  I knew the details would be stunning if Aletha had anything to do with it!  I love the navy and pale pink color scheme twisted with some rustic Italian touches.  Simply gorgeous.

The back of her dress is perfection!

Matteo has three lovely daughters.  I loved how much they were involved in the wedding day…

I wasn’t even there and I can tell that Natalie and her dad have a special relationship..

Seriously one of my favorite flower girl baskets to date.  So simple and perfect.

Family.

These bouquets……gorge!

I love how pretty and simple beach photos can be, even in the crazy bright sun and sweltering heat.

Natalie…you were STUNNING!

Details….LOVE the details!

Congratulations you two!  We all wish you the best and hope you enjoy your weddings photos for years to come!
