This past weekend we had the pleasure of photographing Tera and Rob’s beautiful wedding. Here are a couple of images from their reception at the B.O.B.

We are having so much fun editing the portraits from our explorations of the building. More photos coming soon– we hope you’re enjoying your time in sunny Costa Rica, you two!

lauren: these are LOVELY, you two!!

This coupon: The subsequent time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as a lot as this one. I imply, I know it was my option to learn, however I really thought youd have something fascinating to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about one thing that you might fix in case you werent too busy in search of attention.

Cassie + Pat: Engagement

April 27, 2009

When we first met Cassie a few months ago, she was in Grand Rapids to dress shop with her mom, grandma, and some bridesmaids. So, this was the first time we spent time with both Pat and Cassie together. They were easy-going, relaxed, and up for anything… it made photographing them so enjoyable (and easy)!

Enjoy!

My favorite:

We started losing light, so we headed into the Amway for a few more…

Leandra’s favorite:

Another favorite…

The same day as Cassie and Pat’s session, there was an organized Sidewalk Chalk Flood in downtown.  We couldn’t resist incorporating the city’s temporary make-over.

When we were walking out of the Amway, Cassie said to us: “I told Pat that it’s so exciting when you say ‘let’s stop here for a picture’!” because it meant they’d have one more unique location and look.  We loved to hear that!  Cassie and Pat, you both were so great to take pictures of–thanks!

Kelly: Wonderful job with these photos! They are all gorgeous. My favorites are the reflection one and the 3rd to last one.

Beth: These are wonderful! It makes me want to get more pictures taken because they are so fun :)

Navy Sou: WOW!!! These are stunning. I love your angles!

We really enjoyed spending time with Cassie and Pat yesterday around downtown Grand Rapids–the weather was perfect, and they were wonderful to photograph!  These two stood out to us as we looked through them last night…

The rest of them are up next!

Oh, and you may have noticed that with our new website came a price change.  However, for anyone we’ve been in contact with, we’ll honor the prices we quoted you until May 10th.

Hope everyone’s enjoying the spring!

April Cochran-Smith: I love that first one. The fact that the pretty tree makes me SO happy for spring is just icing on the cake :)

It’s a new day!

April 14, 2009

Today’s the “official” launch of our new blog and website! You’re lookin’ at a blog that’s taken quite a few hours of work and energy to get “just right”… and even then, we may end up tweaking and shifting a few things in the coming weeks. We couldn’t wait any longer, though, so here it is! We imported all the posts from our old blog from this year, so there’s a bit of overlap from the new to the old. You’ll see our brand-new watermark (and bigger pictures) on Kathy and Charlie’s post and every post hereafter, but we didn’t feel like resizing and re-marking all the previous pictures (even though we like our new watermark SO much better!). We added a search capability, a bit longer “about” section, and an RSS feed. You’ll see links to our old blog, our new website, and our Twitter page, too.

The new website will hopefully be bug-free within the next few days, but there maybe be a few lingering hiccups as it works out the kinks of being a brand new website in a big, wide world.

So, if you please, update your bookmark to:

You’ll find our website at the same place as before:

Enjoy!
