Just thought I would share In Frame is a fabulous magazine that caters to helping brides choose their wedding photographer, of course it highlights other vendors that helped make the wedding so beautiful to photograph in the first place! As you can see – Don + Liz’s wedding is quite a hit in the publishing world There is also a feature article the editor *Kristine Crawford* wrote on our local hospital program *Whispers* affiliated with NILMDTS. The other article is in Grand Rapids Magazine’s Feb issue with a special wedding section this month

A few more reasons to love the wedding bell…

1. Every Wedding Bell Bride has the option to have her bridal
gown given a final steam and the opportunity to pick up days or
hours before the wedding. (at no additional cost)

2. Their brides receive discounts on their bridal parties attire.

3. Thier Brides have the option to store their gown at our store until
the day of the wedding.

4. Alterations can be done on-site so you don’t have to drag your
gown to another location.

Here is one of my brides who got her dress from them…and it was the first one she tried on!

Oh yes, I said published!! This is so exciting ~ because really in the past two insane years, my business has taken off, I have hardly had a minute to *think* let alone – sort through gazillions of amazing wedding images to submit for publishing. But it is so fun to see your work in a magazine. It’s a new publication just about Michigan Photographers! The one thing I know is that this mag will always have amazing photos…It’s called ” In Frame” , they have a website, where you can have a free copy mailed to you, and it’s being passed out at many bridal events & shows throughout the state. They featured 38 of michigan’s top photographers…glad to be one! They featured a fabulous wedding I shot of Keith & Amanda and shared their adorable story! They also featured a ttd photo of Beth in the snow….that was a fun *freezing* shoot, big props to Beth on that one! And also a few details of a cake, purse, and shoe shots on the middle and bottom of the last page…the copies are below!

what a fabulous workshop!! I didn’t teach I actually attended! Lindsey DeYoung and I hosted a workshop at our studio, that Ali Hohn flew in and taught us!!! It was so fun to learn this lighting technique. We did it the entire weekend…so I am pretty sure I’ve got it down! The first five pics were taken in full sun! and the rest (except the sunset ones…) were all shot during daylight in well lit areas! Here are the fabulous results…way too many favorites!

Really, when I shoot weddings and details, I am trying to capture all these amazing details that the bride, her family, friends, or planner have spent so much time for and most likely will never see again! So, it’s really fun to see your photos and your brides ideas and art at their wedding inspire other planners, brides, and photogs….here are just two wedding blogs featuring my work over the weekend!

Pearls Events here is GR….weekend eye candy from Ben & Abby’s wedding.

Melissa’s Smitten in southern cal…..Tim & Sarah’s fabulous white glass vases and flowers.
