Kim and Pierce’s E-Session | Overton Park Memphis Engagement Photography
July 26, 2010 | Filed Under Engagement/Newlyweds, Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
Kim and Pierce met us at Overton Park in Memphis, TN for their engagement session. They are such a fun and beautiful couple. We had a great time goofing around and getting some gorgeous images of them. The gardens at Overton Park and the architecture of the Brooks Art Museum (located in Memphis, TN next to the Memphis Zoo) lent us some beautiful backdrops for our future bride and groom’s engagement session.
Originally, Kim wanted to take all of their engagement photos out in a field of sunflowers. I was game but Mother Nature was not! With a heat wave hitting the week before our session, all the sunflowers wilted. We were bummed. But, I still managed to find a couple sunflowers for Kim and Pierce. This ended up being one of my favorite pictures of their engagement session! Thanks for such a fun evening Kim and Pierce…we still need to go get that milkshake! I am looking forward to your wedding day!

A View From Our Side of Lake Michigan
June 23, 2009 | Filed Under Artist's Gallery, Personal, Uncategorized | 1 Comment
We showed you the Chicago skyline but the view from the Michigan side of Lake Michigan is just so peaceful and serene. Charlie and I took a trip to Orchard Beach State Park for our anniversary and from there a day trip to the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes. My only regret is that we didn’t have a camera with us on our kayak ride down the Little Manistee River, what a gorgeous ride we had! Lake Michigan is impressive at any time, but it’s particularly beautiful at sunset and I couldn’t think of anyone I’d want to share this gorgeous view with more. I Love you Charlie, Happy Anniversary!
This was our anniversary night on Orchard Beach. While the sun was setting the fish started jumping out to feed on insects. We must’ve seen over one thousand fish jump out of the water. It was so cool!
I love this picture because you can see all the yummy shades of blues in the water.
We sat up here and tossed rocks into (or almost into) the water.
I love playing with natural light in photography, lens flares are my favorite!
Here’s my man checking out Lake Michigan under an overlook viewing platform.
The Orchard Beach sunsets were as gorgeous as ever…
We ended each night with a stroll down this beach. Pretty views as far as the eye could see! I’m already looking forward to next years Anniversary camping/hiking/kayaking trip.
Group Therapy | Grand Rapids Wedding Photographers
May 11, 2009 | Filed Under Artist's Gallery, Portraiture, Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
Tracy and I headed out Saturday night for some much needed group therapy!….No, its not what you’re thinking; we were there to see and photograph the band Group Therapy perform at C’s Grille at Centennial Country Club in Grand Rapids. Centennial is one of the great country clubs in West Michigan and an excellent wedding venue in the Grand Rapids / West Michigan area. Check them out when your looking to book your reception site!!!
But back to the reason for my post…As a Grand Rapids wedding photographer I know I’ve written about this before, but one of the best choices you can make for your wedding is to hire a live band, especially if the band is as professional and talented as Group Therapy! They absolutely rocked the house!!! I’d strongly recommend checking them out at one of their local gigs and consider hiring them for a social event or as wedding entertainment…you won’t be disappointed!!
Here are some images we made while we were there:
