The Stars opened their season last night against the Chicago Blackhawks and not only did I get to see some great friends at the game I got some amazing photos. The glass broke on the door to the visitors tunnel during the third period and I totally nailed the photo. :) Luckily I wasn't shooting from that position...I had been there in the first period shooting ice level.

Vacation Photos

Last night I was trying to make some room on my Hard Drive for more photos and I came across a folder of photos from my vacation to San Francisco in 2009. Why I had never looked through them and posted anything is beyond me, but I found this really cool photo of the Golden Gate Bridge I took so I thought I would share it. It was one of those perfect days where the clouds were low and swirling around the bridge. What I would call a postcard moment. Enjoy.

Wynne and Aaron. Married!

Yesterday I had the honor of photographing the wedding of Aaron and Wynne in Grand Rapids. It was fabulous. Here's a little sneak peek.

The rings. They had a map with pins in it of all the places they've travelled. How cool is that?

They had a first look. I totally love the first look. It gives the couple the opportunity to see each other without an audience...well except for me ;) Then they can take almost all their photos before the wedding so they don't feel so rushed and stressed between the wedding and the reception. Every bride I know who's done a first look said it really took the pressure off.

She see's him...he sees her.

Checking each other out. Cute!

And a kiss.

The gorgeous wedding party.

A few shots of them alone. We went out on the street so take photos in front of the hotel and there were tons of people walking around. I like the people passing by...makes it look real.

The ceremony was held in the Gerald Ford Ballroom and there were mirrors lining the walls to look like windows. I was afraid I would be in all the photos but when I took a look during the ceremony it was awesome...I could see the bride and groom everywhere! It was neat to see his face in the reflection when I could see her facing the camera.

Finally...the kiss! Love it.

Congratulations and Mazel Tov! I love you guys and I'll have the rest of your photos edited soon!

I am so super excited about today's wedding. We are in Grand Rapids at the Amway Grand Hotel and today is just going to be wonderful. Here are a few photos from last night's rehearsal.

Love the way he looks at her. This is an amazing couple! Look at their cute welcome boxes too!

So theri ceremony is in a ballroom that looks like the oval office. :)

The Gerald Ford Ballroom.

Love that laugh. It's going to be a fun day!

Cuddly Kenzie

This afternoon I got to photograph Kenzie in Fort Worth. She's 15 days old today and she is super sweet. Her parents are amazing and her Aunt totally rocks. Mom and Aunt had so many great props that this is just a little sneak peek. There are way more photos to post later :)

First, Look at that smile. She's a cutie!

And I love how she holds her hands close to her face when she sleeps. So sweet.

A family portrait. You may remember Sam and Jeremiah from their wedding photos May 2010. Now they have a perfect little family :)

With daddy...and mommy.

These are Kenzie's protectors. Jeremiah's mom passed away before Kenzie was born and we know she's watching over her from heaven while Trixie watches over her here on earth. By the way, Trixie is an amazing dog. Look how she's got her paw just touching Kenzie. We totally did not pose that.

The last two for now. She's got some big blue beautiful eyes and she was actually pretty content laying in daddy's arm like that. The suitcases were Aunt Beth's Idea. She might have to become my stylist. She rocks.

I hope you love them, I'll have the rest edited for you soon! Love you guys!
