Adam & Toni's Lakeside Wedding

Adam and Toni are a very special couple to me.  Adam is kinda like my brother (his mom started babysitting me when I was 6 months old, and his sister and I have been best friends ever since)!  I was super excited when Toni called me about taking their wedding pics.  We watched the weather all week long, forecasted to rain and be real cold.....we were nervous.  After some prayers and crossing our fingers, we lucked out!!  It was a comfortable overcast day (which is the best for photos).............and when the couple poured the sand together during the ceremony, the clouds opened right above them and sent down some sunlight.  I think that they planned it all out :)  We had a ton of fun and several locations for awesome photos. 

Adam & Toni:  Thank you so much for allowing Joe and I to follow you around all day :)  We had a lot of fun and really enjoyed photographing your big day!  We hope you enjoy the photos and wish you all the best!!!

                                                    I loved her bracelet!

This is one of my favorite parts of a wedding day......I always try to capture the way that the groom is looking at his bride....so sweet!

Scott & Michelle's Family Session

This family session was quite tricky........we headed down to the beach, hoping for the best, and when we got there, it was super windy.  I mean, it felt like my legs were being sandblasted by the sand in the wind and my hair was going everywhere!  We decided to continue and try to make the best of it..........   We took a few shots, then it began to sprinkle.....just my luck!!  We hurried through the rest of the session and jumped in our cars...as we were driving away, it began to pour!!!!  Even though the weather wasn't very cooperative, we still managed to get several great photos!  Here are my faves from our little "adventure".  :)

 

 

              This next one is my favorite!  I love the little bird up in the corner!! :)

Kris & Pam....Part II

They were so in love!!!! It was so much fun walking through the Grand Valley campus where they met! It is great to take shots of the couple at locations that have a meaning to them!

At the reception, the bride and groom even sang a song about how "Opposites Attract" which had everyone in the room crying from laughter! I was laughing so hard that I almost forgot to take the pictures!!

Kris & Pam: Thanks so much for making us feel so welcome and making sure that we were taken care of all day (A special thanks goes out to Eddie for the awesome Jimmy Johns!)...... We hope you have a fabulous time in Maine!!!! -Joe & Kellie

Bron-2010 Senior

I had so much fun with Bron!! Bron decided to have her senior pics taken on her family's large farm..... Bron rocked out the shoot in her fancy dresses and her fun personality! She was up for anything....which made for some great photos! It was my longest senior shoot to date, but I could have taken pictures for hours more....but we ran out of daylight! Here are a few of my faves......

Good luck with everything Bron! Thanks for allowing me to take your senior pics...I hope you enjoy them!
