Amy & Robbie :: Engaged {Nashville Engagement Photographer}

Meet Amy & Robbie. They were engaged on Valentines Day and are getting married this Summer!

Amy has so many awesome ideas for their wedding day and 

I can't wait to see it all come together.

We met in Nashville at Centennial Park for a lovely spring-time engagement session. 

I am so excited to show you the images! I know it's been a while :) but I'm finally getting back

on track with photography after this whole moving to Nashville thing. 

I have a few sessions and quite a few wedding booked and I'm really pleased 

with how everything is coming along.

So... sit back and enjoy some photos of a super sweet couple...

... and then we came upon these sweet little goslings :)

I love that they're constantly making each other laugh.

I wasn't sure how they'd feel about me busting out some Scrabble letters but it turns out they loved it

... and so did I!

...and we'll end with a super-sweet shot of her gorgeous ring!

Thank you for spending the afternoon with me Amy & Robbie! I had such a wonderful time :)

Nikki & Mitch :: Engaged!

Nikki and Mitch are planning a beautiful wedding in the Upper Peninsula where they went to
college together. They were engaged in June and after some serious coordinating, we
were able to schedule an engagement session here in Grand Rapids!
This couple loves the outdoors and all of the beauty Michigan has to offer so I wanted
to find a location to showcase some of that... and I'm pretty sure we found the perfect spot.
enjoy...

loving the earthy, romantic feel

{love!}

Love Mitch's face in the one on the left.

Now let's get a closer look at that bling!

Can't wait for September 3, 2011!

Thanks so much Nikki and Mitch - I had such a great time at the session!

Little Miss Helena is going to be an adorable flower girl :)

Katie & Josh :: Engaged!

Wow... I have so much blogging to do! Get ready for lots of updates this week!

Meet my beautiful sister, Katie and her wonderful fiance, Josh.

Their wedding is less than 3 weeks away! Katie was my Maid of Honor and

I am proud to be her Matron of Honor August 7. We did their 

mini-engagement session a while ago {with Rebecca}, but things have been so busy in the

photography department that I'm just now getting around to posting it.

Thanks for your patience Josh & Katie (even though you really got these images

weeks ago :). I can't wait for your big day!

Katie totally has the 'smile with your eyes' thing mastered... and I'm a little jealous :)

I'm so proud of my little sister - she's starting her student teaching this fall! When she's

done, she'll have her Bachelors in English & Elementary Education from GVSU. 

Josh just graduated from Calvin with a degree in Media Production. He's a 

super talented videographer and did an amazing job on our wedding. Here's

a link to our wedding video and another to his website.

We are really hoping one day we'll get to do weddings together :)

Did I mention they've been together since middle school? :)

{love you two}

Danielle & Jordan :: Engaged!

Danielle and Jordan are one of my August couples. I love all of the details they were
telling me about for their wedding day! Danielle is such a sweet-heart and
Jordan had us laughing throughout the whole session. They are high-school sweethearts
and I'm thrilled to be able to document their wedding day soon!

{I love orchards... as if you couldn't tell from all of the other orchard sessions I've done...}

So our session went a little bit longer than a usual engagement session goes...
I blame it on these two...

How cute are they!? The big one is Rusty & the little one is Roxie... Danielle and Jordan
rescued these 6mo old lab mix pups not long ago. They are adorable
and full of energy! Black lab mix pups hold a special place in my heart...
I can't believe our Addie is 4 years old now!

{a beautiful little family}

Danielle has a stunning round solitaire engagement ring... you'll see more of it later in the post :)

{love}

At this point, Jordan said we needed to start the session over
because he had forgotten to put a little flower in Danielle's hair...
awe!

I have to give Danielle props for this awesome ring shot idea... love it!

Thanks so much Jordan & Danielle for meeting with me and bringing
along Rusty and Roxie! I had such a great time and can't
wait for your wedding day!
