Aaron & Cassandra's Wedding!

Aaron and Cassandra's wedding was our first out of state wedding. They got married on 8-15 in Holland, Michigan. They currently reside in NYC but got married at Aaron's parents house. It was a gorgeous outdoor garden wedding with a big white tent reception all right there on their property, it was perfect! Cassandra put so much creativity and planning into this day and you could totally tell by her precise attention to detail. This will be a long blog post but I know you will love re-living their day through these photos.

This purse belonged to Cassandra's Grandmother and Cassandra carried it on her wedding day!

She wore the coolest green heels!

The handsome Groom, Aaron

These are a couple of Patrick's shots below

And the stunning bride, Cassandra

This is Aaron's sister Sarah and her newborn baby Carter. Him and I share the same birthday, July 13th. How cool is that? I kept my eye on him most of the day, it was making me miss my baby (Mason) at home.

Then Patrick grabbed this shot right before Cassandra headed outside for her Dad to walk her down the aisle!

This was something I hadn't seen before but very neat...they used two bottles of their favorite wines to pour together into one glass representing their unity.

This shot was special because Aaron's Grandmother has handmade a quilt for each of her Grandchildren on their wedding day, so it was FINALLY Aaron's turn for his!

After the ceremony, we headed over to Lake Macatawa's Beach for an awesome photo opp!

And finally, the reception. I loved all of the orange and green!

We wanted to say a special thank you to Alison and Brian Fisher (one of our past weddings) for the referral of Aaron and Cassandra. Brian and Aaron were each others "Best Men". It was great seeing you guys again!

The Buttler Family!

I cannot wait to tell you about how awesome our kids Birthday cakes were this year! Patrick's friend from work made these cakes for Jackson and Madison's birthdays this summer. You have to check out JamaBakes for your next cake! Jackson's was a Mario Kart cake and Madison wanted a Minnie Mouse themed cake. Jama did a superb job and they tasted just as amazing as they looked.

And this was their family shoot. Meet Jama, Jim, Brooke and Ty!

One of my favorites from the day!

The Rockey Family!

I have known Kevin and Pam for probably 20 years now. They used to teach my Sunday School class when I was growing up, then I went off to college, got married, started a family and then our paths crossed again! Pam sells Premier Designs High Fashion Jewelry (so she can be a stay at home Mom!) Premier is a service centered company based on biblical principles. You can contact her at pamrockey@gmail.com for more info. or a copy of the catalog. This first shot of them was a headshot that she needed for her Premier business.They have 5 awesome and active boys! Pam came to me with a great idea of doing a baseball shoot because they all play and love the sport. They are full time baseball fans between all of the various games they go to!!!

I thought this was cute!

I love the shot below with Lincoln peeking.

The Piechocki Family

Meet the Piechocki family! You may recognize one of the daughters, Danielle, from her senior portrait session last year. We had a beautiful day to work with for this shoot. We did the session at the Greenwood Children's Garden (one of my favorite places to shoot on the southside).You can tell how much fun they have together!

Yes, we actually had a train going by during our shoot so I had them run over and stand in front of it. How awesome how this shot turned out that I happened to snap at the same time this graffiti was rigtht over their heads!

This is the what Patrick and I like to call the "band shot". Don't they look like they need to be on the front cover of a CD?

Marley's Senior Portraits!

Marley is a senior from Fishers High School. She was so much fun to work with and has the sweetest personality. We were able to get several different, fun looks for her and I loved the way they all turned out!
