Last month I had the pleasure of photographing Justin and Ashley's wedding in downtown Grand Rapids. Ashley was beyond gorgeous, and I have never wanted to take more photos of the back of  a wedding dress than I did with hers! Talk about such a stunning detail!  The wedding party was one of the most fun I have ever worked with, as evidenced by some of the photos below. City Flats looked amazing and as the perfect location for this classy affair. I had so many favorite photos I almost couldn't choose! I hope you enjoy browsing some of my favorites and join me in wishing the Mr. & Mrs. a huge congratulations! 

Last month Jenn & Josh tied the knot on a lovely August day in Michigan!  Even though I was still technically on maternity leave, I was so excited to arrive and photograph the bride & groom and wedding party in the park!  The new Mr. & Mrs. Liske looked stunning, and it was such an amazing day! Here are some of my favorites! Enjoy, and congratulations to the newlyweds!

Planning the styled shoot portions for our workshops (The Bloom Workshop) is one of my favorite aspects of running this event.  My business partner, Michaela envisions the prettiest details and when it all comes together it takes my breath away. This past May, we hosted our workshop at the gorgeous Bieker Farms in Ada, Michigan.  Shelby of the Day's Design was on site and made us beautiful bouquets, a floral arch and a dreamy garland that ran the length of our table.  Rentals by Events by ICandy provided the perfect location to house the gorgeous cakes by Sweet Heather Anne.  The two piece gown, worn by Rhiannon of Hey Gorgeous Events was borrowed from Spring Sweet's in Holland.  Sweet touches like the bride and groom signs by Lumber Tacks, invitation suite by Estudio Rojo and ribbon and runners by Adorn Company tied the day together. 

This pretty shoot was featured over on Inspired By This a few months ago, and you can check out the full post HERE.  In the meantime, here are a few of my favorites! Thanks to Indie Film Lab for the film scans!
