Triple the Fun!

Steve had way too much fun photographing Amy and Phil’s wedding over three years ago and was beyond excited when Amy asked us to do newborn photographs of their triplets.  This was a new one for us!  Amy was well prepared with heating pads and a heat lamp to keep the room toasty warm.  Of course, trying to get all three of them bare at the same time turned out to be very challenging.  Let’s just say that the velvet we used to photograph them on has been disposed of.

Amy had just gotten the girls Christmas stockings and when she showed us Steve’s eyes lit up.  The ideas were right there.

We got to hold them and feed them and I even got to help dress them.  At just 6-weeks old the girls are all between 6lbs and 7lbs and are doing great.  We can’t wait to see them again soon and watch them grow.  I think they are all starting to show their little personalities already, what do you think!?

Samantha’s Senior Portrait Session

We got so lucky and the day of Samantha’s Senior Portrait session was a gorgeous fall day (which we haven’t seen many of this year).  We met her at the studio and after doing a few photographs outside the building we made our way to Centennial Park where the ground was covered with fallen leaves.  Then as the sun set we walked back to the studio and finished her session.  We had a great time and Samantha was great to work with.  Thanks for coming all the way to Holland, Samantha, have a great Senior year!

Crystal and Jake’s Trash the Dress Session

We shared Crystal and Jake’s story a few days ago and now we want to share some more photographs of this beautiful couple.  Not only did we have an amazing wedding day experience in downtown Detroit with Crystal and Jake but we were excited to do a moody and romantic “Trash the Dress” session with them in Sterling Heights as well. 

wicks park bar & grille, Saugatuck MI

Last week we were fortunate to discover Wicks Park Bar & Grille in Saugatuck.  The owners contacted us to do photographs of the inside and outside of the restraunt and some menu items.  We had not been inside the restraunt and LOVED the beautiful atmosphere.  Not only that but we tried the food and it is as good as it looks and better!  If you are ever in Saugatuck be sure to check out this wonderful restraunt, we’re sure you will enjoy it.

Crystal and Jake’s Wedding

We love talking with our couples and hearing about how they met, how long they dated, how he proposed and all of the fun details.  We asked Crystal and Jake to share their story with us and we’re sharing it with you.

Crystal starts her story by saying, “For a long time I was looking for Mr. Right Now and not Mr. Right.”  Then quite unexpectedly on a night out with the girls and after deciding to stop looking for Mr. Right Now and enjoy the single life of freedom Crystal met Jake who was a good friend of a friend.  They spent the night dancing and stayed up talking until dawn.  After 6-months of hanging out together Crystal and Jake finally were able to admit that it was pretty serious and a 2-years later Jake proposed.

After a weekend trip with Crystal’s family Crystal and Jake consumed a large pizza and headed out for a walk.  After heading down by the dock Jake “hurt his foot” and ended up on one knee.  Crystal claims she was speechless when Jake pulled out the little gray box and fumbled over some sweet words.  So there by the water stuffed with pizza, no makeup and a bargain t-shirt Crystal says her life was changed with a perfect proposal.

Crystal and Jake’s wedding was a dream come true for us as photographers – beautiful locations, tons of time with the bride and groom and amazing details.  We loved the time spent downtown and at the Detroit Institute of Art not to mention a crazy fun reception at Andiamo.  Crystal and Jake, thank you so much for sharing story and your wedding day with us!

Jessica and Mike’s Trash the Dress Session

Jessica and Mike’s wedding day was amazing but we weren’t able to get a lot of photographs at the beach due to the weather conditions (see previous post).  We offered to do a “Trash the Dress” session to get more of the great beach photographs we all hoped for.  We met Jessica and Mike at Camp Geneva and spent some time on the beach before heading out to Spring Lake.

Just joking around on the wedding day Steve says to Jessica, “You should water ski in your dress!”  Well, Jessica thought that sounded like a fun idea so she talked with her parents and made plans to go out on Spring Lake for some amazing, fun photo opportunities.  We love having the chance to do something new and this was definitely a first for us!  We had such a great time and got some wonderful photographs.  Thanks to Jessica and Mike for being so fun to work with and to Jessica’s parents for being so accommodating!  Be sure to watch the slideshow at the end for more of the session.

Family Photos at Tunnel Park

We had a great time last week with Kelli and her kids at Tunnel Park.  They all had a ton of energy and spent some time running down the dunes before we started.  We played around on the dune, in the tunnel and in the grass before ending the evening with a gorgeous sunset. 

Kelli is co-owner of the marvelous Paint a Pot in Holland and the new Peek-a-Boutique which is opening soon.  Can’t wait to check it out!
