Becca and Taylor.. where do I even begin with these two? Their love is sweet (as you will find out for yourself as you scroll through these images), but their hearts are sweeter. They are some of the kindest people I’ve met. Our time together was filled with so much laughter. It was truly life-giving […]

Bridget and Matt got married last fall at the Grand Rapids Art Museum in downtown Grand Rapids. It was the most beautiful and sunny fall day, but the best part was the love that was shared between these two.

Kelsey and Steven brought even more beauty (and love!) to their gorgeous West Michigan wedding venue – and one of my absolute favorites – Hidden Vineyard.  K + S have been together for over a decade, and […]
