Tad and Alysha - Engagement Photos

Whew! I have been so busy the last few months I haven't had a chance to post. Here are some photos from a session I did back in December with Tad and Alysha. We started out the session by going to one of my favorite places to photograph, a place called the Classic Diner. As you can see it is restruant that takes you back to the 50's. It was a slow night for the diner so we pretty much had the place to ourselves. The waitress even gave us free pop to use in our photo! Once we were done photographing inside we went outside for a few night photos. It was freezing cold but you couldn't tell it.

After the diner we made several visits along the way before ending up at the Lansing Mall. Since it was December the mall was all decked out for the holidays. On the east end of the mall was a big Christmas tree which made for a great background for last of our photos. A lot of photography in a very short amount of time, and as you can see from the photos we had a great time!

****I have to give a shout out to Ben Friedkin, from Benjamin David Photography! Ben brave the cold with me that night to be my flash stick guy! Thanks Ben!***

Jeremy & Jacque's Wedding

We had a heck of a good time with Jeremy and Jacque. They booked us for the whole day so we were able to spend a lot of time going all over St. Johns, Michigan getting some fun shots. The wedding party was great to work with. We took them to some outside locations in their wedding attire - without coats! I think the temp was somewhere around 28 degrees! You couldn't tell it from the smiles on there faces.

At one point we stopped traffic on the main street in the middle of town to do some POWER walking and JUMPING it was awesome! From there, to the Alibi Bar for a few photo ops. After we finished at the Alibi Jeremy want us to go out and pose in front of some combines! I must say, I have photographed wedding parties just about everywhere, but this was my first combine shoot. Those things are huge!

Finally on to the reception! Food, Folks and Fun a great ending to a wonderful day. Thanks Jeremy & Jacque for sharing your day with us!

Michael & Alisha's Wedding

Mike and Alisha were married on November 16th. The theme of their wedding was winter wonderland. The weather outside was cold but inside the wedding/reception hall was very inviting with lots of wonderful winter decorations.

Regan's "Family" Portrait

Here is a photo from a family session I did at Thanksgiving. This is just one photo from a photo set that I shot with the couple and their beautiful dogs. This was a lot of fun but also a great deal of work to keep the dogs attention.

Killian Family Portrait

They say a picture is worth a thousand words and this photo is no different. It is always a challenge to try and photograph outside in Michigan. On this day it had threaten to rain all day but we really wanted to get session in because it was the one time the whole family would be together. The rain did hold off long enough for me to get some nice photographs. This photo is one of them.

Josh & Amber's Wedding

Josh and Amber were married at Mount Hope Church in Lansing Michigan. It is a large church that seats over three thousand people. The wedding party were a lot of fun that made for excellent photographs.

Josh & Amber - Engagement

I photographed Josh and Amber five days before their wedding. The photos from this session were combined with photos from another session we did two months prior for a video slide presentation that was viewed before and after their wedding! We got some great shots! By the time we got to the end of the session it was cold and rainy, but you couldn't tell it by their smiles!
