Congratulations Katie and Jeremiah! What a cool, laid-back, fun-loving couple! These two met freshman year and hung out every day after. Their first date came from a lost bet at pool when he had to take her out on an actual date. They watched a football game, played some mini golf, got some McDonald's, and then took a night walk out at Perry Farms. They've been together for eleven years. The proposal happened on the beaches right off the bay of Seattle, while they were watching for whales and gazing at snow capped mountains. They decided they were meant to be out west and wanted to get married with their families before starting their new grand adventure together.

They both love everything there is to love about disc golf, and play whenever possible. When the theaters are open, they have a date night at least once a week, or cuddle with popcorn on the couch watching Netflix. They love to travel and enjoy the outdoors. It's their dream to just own a bus and travel the country together.

Next year, they will honeymoon traveling the country out west until they end in Seattle and make it their new home.

I am so honored that Mr. and Mrs. Clennan chose me to document their story! Please enjoy the preview of their big day:

Congratulations Tara and Caitlin!!

These two met at work, when Caitlin fell in love with Tara’s sweet dance moves and great personality. Their first official date was at Founder’s Brewing in Grand Rapids.

For the proposal, Caitlin was sneaky and invited Tara’s best friends to The Detroit Zoo during the holidays, making it look like it was their idea. Caitlin found the perfect spot in a somewhat secluded part of the zoo in front of purple Christmas lights (Tara’s favorite color), and Caitlin (in her very awkward manner) got down on one knee and proposed, not knowing that Tara also had an engagement ring waiting for her at home!

Their shared interests include Batman, craft beer, Harry Potter, and exploring new things together.

My favorite parts of their wedding day:
—Tara’s animated facial expressions- a photographer’s dream!
—They were so easy to shoot because they were laughing and interacting with each other the whole time!!
—We snuck off to the winery to get some really great shots and give them some alone time
—Tara’s veil. It glowed the whole sunny day!
—I love the Calcutt family! I got to see Erin (Caitlin’s sister) and Bryan, who I photographed over 4 yrs ago! I was so honored to continue to document new adventures in the Calcutt family.

—A huge thank you to Maria Lewis Photography for her talent, skill, fun personality, and knowledge of what is needed without me even saying anything. I absolutely adore working with her!

Tara and Caitlin are so fun and I loved this oh so much! Please enjoy the preview:
