Danielle and Chad were married at the end of September on a day that deceptively looked like fall but felt like the hottest day in July. It was truly a scorcher, which made being next to the waters of Gull Lake perfect. The day was really perfect and it was so wonderful their sweet kids Harper and Nolan as the flower girl and ring bearer. Danielle's dress was to die for and she was just the most stunning bride! Here are some favorites! 

When Maggie called me to talk about photographing her wedding to Zach I have to be honest that I didn't know too much about the couple. I am telling you that because most people in Kalamazoo know this couple-- of course it is no secret that Zach led the Western Michigan football team to an incredible victory the past year and became a bit of a hometown hero. More than that, people in our city know this couple because of the enormous ways they invest and give back to our community. They are genuinely kind and selfless, driven and magnets for joy. Their spirit for Christ is contagious and the more I got to know them, the more excited I was to be part of their beautiful day. --And beautiful is was! The sun was shining and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. Brooke and her team at Stellaluna Events perfected the details and ensured the day ran smoothly. As usual I have way too many images to share but after you see them you'll understand how I had such a hard time choosing favorites! A huge congrats to Mr. & Mrs. Terrell! It was such an honor to be part of your day and I am excited to see how you impact those around you in the years to come!
