Summer wedding inspiration at The Morris Estate in Niles, Michigan photo by Cynthia Mae Photography

Sharing another beautiful wedding today. Sierra and Michael got married a couple weeks ago at The Morris Estate wedding chapel in Niles, Michigan! It was a beautiful summer day (with a couple surprise showers, but beautiful nonetheless!). But hey, rain is good luck on your wedding day, right?! Everything about this wedding was so special.. […]

Oh boy, I am really excited about this blog post! Meaghan and Scott had a beautiful spring wedding day at Venue3Two in Grand Rapids. Not only was it a stunning day at one of the best venues in Southwest Michigan, it was also the first wedding I brought my film camera along to in a […]

Let me introduce you to the sweetest couple; Alisa and Braxton. From the moment we had our first phone call, I knew they were so special. We immediately became friends. They are the type of people you meet and feel like you’ve known your entire life. I knew I was in for a treat when […]

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. Between Matt’s medical school residency, buying a house (lots of DIY projects!), and Bridget’s law career, […]

Now that “fake spring” is upon us (in Michigan “fake spring” references the time between March and April where we intermittently have really nice, warm days followed by more winter weather to which winter never seems to end) I decided it would be time to share this beautiful winter wedding! Mackenzie and Christian got married […]

Courtney and Ben share a moment at their downtown Grand Rapids engagement session

I don’t normally do engagement sessions in March because Michigan weather can be so unpredictable. However, I am so glad I made an exception for Courtney and Ben because we lucked out with a 75 degree, sunny, beautiful day! Is it a coincidence that it took place on St. Patrick’s Day? We’ll just say it’s […]

When I shoot the most important day of someone’s life, I want it to be absolutely perfect. I want every bride and groom to come away from their wedding knowing that I loved every moment of that day as much as they did. I want them to be confident that I know exactly how to […]

Step back into time with me … back to July, when the sun was shining, when temperatures weren’t in the single digits, and when Kelly and Lee joined together as husband and wife! The tiny details gave this West Michigan wedding an extra something special: the gorgeous detailing on their invitations, Lee’s Spartan-themed cufflinks, the […]

Now that we’re firmly in the middle of Michigan winter, I love looking back at my summer shoots. 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 […]
