Danielle & Alex kicked off their 4th of July wedding with an American themed welcome party; think lots of red, white, & blue, with stripes & stars. Everyone embraced the spirit as we played games, Alex’s dad gave a tear-filled speech, and his mom was also a flood of tears because of a gift they […]

Reagan & Michael are two of the kindest people you will ever meet and this is evidence by all the amazing loving people invited to their wedding at Noverr Farms.

Colorful Garden Party Themed Wedding at Noverr Farms in Leland, MI – Reagan & Michael

Laurel & Ben reached out to me just 17 days before their wedding hoping we would be available to shoot Super 8 film for their wedding day in Muskegon. Fortunately, we were still free but we had no idea how intentional, thoughtful, candid, colorful, fun, and wonderful their wedding would be. We were in for […]

Backyard Wedding in Muskegon on Lake Michigan’s Shoreline – Laurel & Ben Super 8 Film

Super 8 films have become our most sought after, desired, and beloved videos for weddings. While our philosophy to integrate and partake on a wedding day and in the lives of our couples has never changed, Super 8 cameras have just enhanced that approach even more. For Brenin & Packy’s wedding weekend at Bay Harbor, […]

Even though it was hot as could be this September at Felt Mansion, it couldn’t stop from Letting Abbie & Tom’s love from opening the doors (a little play on their first dance song “Let My Love Open the Doors”).

Golden Fall Wedding at Saugatuck’s Felt Mansion – Abbie & Tom

Oh wow, what could I say about these two that has not already been said from their most beloved friends and family? I will never forget starting the wedding weekend sitting across from Jill’s dad at Pepp & Dolores like part of the family. We got served some of the best food from J&Js favorite spot right around the corner from where they live while all their best friends and family stood up and gave speeches that were equal parts funny, sentimental, and honoring.

Fun Engagement on Lake Michigan with Abbie & Tom

J&J, in their home. Exposed brick walls. Delicious smells coming from the bakery below. Even better food made by them inside. I got to eat supper with them, to be invited into their home & lives where the evening light hits hard in their office room while they watched the people & traffic below in Over the Rhine.

At Home Springtime Engagement – Jill & Jhohan

2022 was the year of bringing film back into my life. Shooting film has allowed me to put phone away and be more in the moment with my family. I even invested in a Super 8 camera so I could take videos on film. This was a year of adding yet another baby girl, Hazel Hope, and of celebration.
