Brad + Mindy @ the English Inn

Brad and Mindy were married on July 19, 2008 in Okemos, MI. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate with us for outdoor pictures, but it didn't matter - Brad and Mindy were stunning! Brad is the third in a group of three guy friends to get married. I first photographed his best man, Brandon in 2006, another friend Blake in 2007 and now Brad's married. They were a blast to be around. Flowers by Brew's Creations in Floral in Grand Rapids were fantastic and the reception was fantastic at the English Inn in Eaton Rapids. We stopped for a few images at the State Capitol where Brad works as well. The wedding party and families were terrific - I really felt like an old friend who just happened to be their with a camera!

Thanks for such a fun day! I had such a blast spending my Saturday with you!

Jarrod + Tracy Wedding

Jarrod and Tracy were married on July 5! I first met them at Dan and Tristan's wedding on 7-7-07 and they were a blast then and did not disappoint this time either! We had a pretty uneventful start to the day with guys and girls photos. The ceremony was in the chapel of Raybrook Home off the East Beltline. It was a very cute and quite chapel - which was perfect for Jarrod and Tracy. We then headed downtown to the Pedestrian Bridge and took photos on the bridge, around the bridge and even saw a homeless guy at the river half naked, but still talking away on his cell phone! That's one you definately don't see everyday! The reception was at Brann's Catering south of downtown and they did a great job! It really was one big party and it felt like I knew half the guests. As I told them when we first met, I want you to feel like I'm an old friend that happened to show up with a camera!

Thanks for such a fun day! I had such a blast spending my Saturday with you!

Morehouse Family Photos

Last weekend I had the opportunity to photograph the Morehouse Family. I originally met the oldest son, Scott, while in a networking group and he purchased a family portrait gift certificate. His family was able to use it on a beautiful Sunday evening at Townsend Park (great place for photos!). Thanks for allowing me to create some new family memories!

Matt is Back! Do You Know Where Matt Is?

In case you've never heard of this guy, Matt Harding, he's a former video game programmer from Washington state that a few years back saved up enough $$ to take a small trip around the world. He decided that dancing around the world sounded like a great idea and so he began video taping himself dancing at different locations around the globe. When he finally made it home, he put together a video (click here to see the original). If I am a recovering Golf-A-Holic, then my wife and I are both Travel-A-Holics as well. We found Matt back in 2006 when his original viral video hit the airways. After his first trip, Stride Gum decided it would be a great idea to sponsor his next trip and paid for his second worldwide adventure. He recently completed the video below by visiting 42 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES! So here's your assignment - if you were to take a trip around the world, what would it look like? Where would you go, how long would you stay? What's your itinerary? I recently read a book that stated, "nothing happens, but first a dream". What's your dream trip? Enjoy...
