Phillip & Kendra: Married!

I have strict rules from my doctor not to photograph anymore weddings this year and to also stop doing my part-time dental assistant job. So I wasn’t able to go with Andrew to Kendra and Phillip’s wedding. Huge bummer! Andrew and I have never not done a wedding together, and I really felt left out sitting at home while he was photographing their wedding. Zach was thankfully able to help Andrew and be the 2nd photographer. Luckily, their wedding was the last one that Andrew and I scheduled for ourselves this wedding season… knowing that our little one is due to arrive at the beginning on October, I knew I wouldn’t be able to photograph many weddings in September.

As I opened up the catalog to edit the preview photos, the first few photos I saw were a line up of cars and big trucks. Awesome! I knew that Andrew probably had fun photographing them. Then as I moved through the photos, towards the end, what do I see? Why it’s a camero doing a burnout in the parking lot of the wedding reception! Now, as I type this post I’m asking Andrew for the details… and I find out that the driver in the photograph doing the burn out is not the groom. (You would assume that, right?) It’s the bride! Even more awesome!:-)

I’m sure I sound like a broken record when I write on here that purple is my favorite color to photograph. It really is just so vibrant and deep. When Andrew and I first stated photographing weddings a few years ago, green was the big color for wedding – I think that has moved a little towards purple now. Fine with me, it’s pretty! The purple of Kendra’s bridesmaids dresses is great with the texture on their dresses, I just love them!

Congratulations Phillip and Kendra! We wish you the best!

Caleb, Blair, & Deono !

Senior season is in full swing! Andrew and I have been oh so busy with senior sessions – so you’ll be seeing quite a few high school seniors on here in the next couple of weeks!

First up we have Caleb, we did his older brother Ricky’s senior pictures a couple of years ago and were very excited when their mom Betsy called to schedule Caleb’s session. I wasn’t along for Caleb’s senior session – but I heard it was a good thing I wasn’t! His session involved jumping over a fence because the baseball field was locked – I don’t think I’d be able to do that 7 months pregnant! Actually, I probably couldn’t even do it not pregnant! HA:-)

On July 22nd, our new little niece was born! Andrew’s brother Bryan and his wife Katy welcomed Blair Delaney. Blair is the 9th grandbaby to my mom and dad inlaw. Grandbabies #10 and #11 are due in October – Oh, and all the grandbabies are 4 and under! Christmas is chaotic to say the least. Blair was quite the sleepy head during her newborn session with us. Who could ask for more?! It was probably the quickest newborn session that Andrew and I have ever done… and it probably would have been even faster if there weren’t a 2.5 year old and 1.5 year old running around the studio!

Last up for the post today we have Deono – another high school senior! Andrew met Deono and his family at their house for some photos, then they headed to downtown Holland. Deono’s mom is the wedding manager at the Doubletree hotel in Holland. We have done a few weddings there and have had the pleasure of working with her a few times. Just after Deono’s session Andrew rushed home and we were off on a 10.5 hour drive to Missouri. I’m happy that we were able to get this session scheduled though!

Allison & Jeremy: Married!

Allison and Jeremy were married in a backyard ceremony. Zach and Analisa were there to capture their wedding.

I just love all of the nature elements incorporated into their wedding decor! Their cake is sooo cute!! I love it! Their reception was held at The Piper in Holland. We’ve had quite a few weddings there this wedding season. It’s nice having the lake right out the back door – it makes for great picture opportunities.:-)

Congratulations Jeremy & Allison!
