Knickerbocker New Holland Brewery Wedding

Grand Rapids, MI
The Knickerbocker, New Holland Brewery

Congratulations Liz and April!! What a fun and laid back celebration. The couple actually had their first date at this venue, which made it special and intimate. They met online, without knowing that they had actually gone to elementary and high school together. They grew up two streets away from each other and had no idea.

The kiddos actually started asking them about marriage. They ended up proposing to each other. They love playing games (they actually got engaged while playing Phase 10), spending time with their kiddos and family, and being outside.

From my arrival, at the getting ready stage, Liz and April were just so sweet and excited, having fun with their close family and friends. This is my 3rd Zick wedding, and this group of family and friends is just so amazing! They are loving, supportive, genuine, and know how to celebrate! I am extremely honored that I get to keep capturing these special life-changing times for this family.

Special thanks to Mario Petersen for shooting with me!

The Atrium at Uccello's - Joe and Anna

St. Stanislaus Church, Dorr, MI
The Atrium at Uccello’s, Grand Rapids, MI

Congratulations Joe and Anna! What a beautiful day we had in October for their celebration. It was a beautiful ceremony at St. Stanislaus, followed by a fun and elegant reception at The Atrium at Uccello’s.

Joe and Anna met at work and have been together for about five years. Their first date was at Fat Boy Burger. They share a love for their faith and keep that prominent in their lives. They also love skiing, attending plays or movies, and traveling.

The proposal took place at Anna’s house on January 1, 2021. She was opening a gift, a beautiful red coat, and in the pocket of that coat was a card. Inside that card was a poem Joe had written 20 years ago to his future wife. At the end of the card was a picture of a ring. Joe got down on one knee and, as a tear fell, he asked Anna if she would marry him.

Thank you both for choosing me to document your story! You have a beautiful family and I am honored. Please enjoy the preview of your big day…

Grand Ravines County Park - Jessica and Kyle

WEST MICHIGAN ENGAGEMENT SESSION
Grand Ravines County Park
Georgetown Twp, MI

Congratulations Jessica and Kyle!! These two met at work about three years ago. After their first date, Kyle was telling people that they were going to end up together in the end. Six months later, he told her he loved her after hanging out with her family all day. Two years later, on the exact same day, he proposed in front of her whole family. The speech was really sweet and emotional. He had her mom’s ring that her dad proposed with years ago.

These two were so fun and laid-back during our chilly November session. I can’t wait for the big day! AND…!!! I get to see one of my favorite families again! The Zick Family! If you haven’t caught those sessions, they have about 100 sessions throughout the years on my website- check out the blogs. Ha!!! I love this family.

Stay tuned for their wedding at McKay Ballroom Tower, in Grand Rapids, in July!
Enjoy the preview….
