  • Out to lunch or in from the rain?

    My old friend James kicked me in the face with a blogging RSS feed reality check this weekend and it occurred to me he was the one who pushed me to post more last time too… maybe I need to subscribe to myself to see how rarely I'm blogging.  It's good really; I love to share the work I'm doing but life has some real positives and joy while allowing very little time for *more work* and even though we all try to pretend it's fun, blogging is an extension of our day jobs (right?!?).  Don't get me wrong, it's fun but I'd just rather finish up people's proofs, books, and sessions!

    Okay, without further edue here are some photos in no particular order!

    On Memorial Day weekend jMe and me and the pleasure of working with a super super super fun group at the Toledo Zoo.  It's not often we get small groups like this but having Meaghan  and Eric's corresponding brother and sister as their best man and matron of honor (who were also married) made it SO easy and fun.  Doing wedding photography at the Toledo Zoo was fantastic. Our coordinator (also named Jamie) showed us around, acted as our secret service agent, and even helped when possible.  I certainly wish our wedding at the Columbus Zoo last year had the time to wander like this one did since we got a chance to see the entire place!  I love doing wedding photography at a zoo!




















    Earlier that weekend I was able to shoot a little with the fantastic Rangoli Video crew and my friend Linda Radin in the Marriott at the Detroit Renessaince Center.  Shooting Indian wedding photos at the Winter Garden was spectacular.  I wasn't there long but LOVED working with the bride and her friends!



















    On the Friday before Memorial Day I was able to meet the overly funny and often goofy Erika and Tom at the Grand Haven State Park for Engagement Photos on the beach.  There will hopefully be more later but for now, here are a couple of "normal" ones.  I'm looking forward to the wedding in September at the Grand Haven Golf Club, where my friends and clients Carrie and Greg had their reception in 2007.







    I'm happy and sad to announce baby Jacob.  He's a beautiful little kid.  Happy because he's my third little boy from Jenn and Jay but sad because it means I may only have one more from them since they're stopping at four!  No joke, they've brought me Jack at four days, Joe at 6, and now Jacob at about 3.8 days and they hope to have one more in about a year and a half.











    Ahhhhh wedding photos on the beach are so much fun!  Layla and Erend gave me as much energy as I needed to make the South Haven beach experience awesome.  It's a long-ish story but it's their third wedding to each other due to specific things required for their military affiliations but I'm glad I was part of this one on this fantastic day! 

















    Charlene and Adam got married nice and close to home but it certainly didn't lack any excitement.  We did their wedding photos in downtown Grand Rapids and at Aquinas College before heading off to the reception in Lowell.  Ahhhhhh, more military and runners!











     





    Amber and Joe gave me the HUGE pleasure of shooting wedding photos at the Bay Pointe Inn & Restaurant on Gun Lake in Shelbyville.  Rain didn't stay away but nothing stopped this Marine from enjoying his beautiful bride on his wedding day!
















    You've seen Landon dozens of times in this blog but here you see Landon exploring his new sister… just weeks before she arrived.  I'm lucky to be shooting her this Thursday on her 5th birthday… no, not 5 years old but 5 days!



    Joe and Veronica (past blog wedding entrants) brought me Sofija for some newborn photos.  I was glad to try some new things and see the way this fantastic couple reacted to their beautiful little newborn baby girl.
