{it's a HOT one~Grand Rapids Wedding Photographer}

and it's more than just the weather....here is a preview of tonight's HOT couple!

{heather & eddie ~ Grand Rapids Wedding Photographer}

you know how there are some people that you meet and you instantly feel like you could have been friends with them forever! Well that's heather & eddie...I had been talking and emailing with heather for the last 4 months but did not meet her until the day of the engagement session (since they currently live in Seattle) They are seriously awesome: carefree, fun, sweet and so in love! I am actually kinda bummed they live across the country, since they are super fun to hang with!

I met them in Traverse City just two days before the wedding for the rehearsal (their families are as cool as them) and a mini engagement session.  I feel that the engagement session is so important, it gives a chance to get to know each other & gives the couple awesome pictures when they are not all glam'ed up for the wedding day (I truly cherish my engagement pictures).....

enjoy the e~session preview....wedding images coming soon!

in the cherry trees...so sweet & so TC :)

*love*

*heather, you are so beautiful*

thanks for the fun times heather & eddie!!

{heidi & dan :: engaged ~ Grand Rapids Wedding Photographer}

Meet Heidi & Dan! They are such a cute couple who hold a dear place in my heart...Heidi and I met in our freshman year at MSU...we were instant friends! I wish I was able to spend more time with Heidi but since graduating from MSU she has traveled the world and been very busy! SO over the years we have found a few times to get together which is always great and much needed to catch up!  So last November I got an email (and a mass email at that :}) telling me that she was engaged! WHAT?!?!? and an email, come on Heidi... so I was super excited for her but she was on a tour to Afghanistan (she is pilot with the United States Air Force)  so had very limited email access...I didn't hear back for almost a month, talk about suspense!After a few months of sporadic emails I finally heard the story directly from her, which was so great to hear. She was so excited, and rightfully so! 

So with Heidi & Dan planning the wedding from afar, we weren't sure they would be able to sneak in an engagement session...but we did it, I headed up to Petoskey and met them for some fantastic pictures at the waterfront and beach at Bay Harbor!

::here is a preview::

*love this*

*they can be fierce*

*absolutely LOVE seeing one of my best friends so happy*

heidi & dan...I can't wait till you guys are back in MI for the wedding! <3 you guys!
