Kelly & Matt

The best way to describe it? Wow!! What a transformation the Mendel Center went through in preparation for this amazing couple. Like stepping into another world. It was so much fun just to be there not to mention the blast we had filming the wedding and reception. The ultimate dream wedding. Kelly and Matt make such a great couple and their families are wonderful people. Thank you for inviting us along. At the end of the night we pinched ourselves, then clicked our heels three times 'cause that was the only way to get home.

Sarah & Ryan

Sarah and Ryan couldn't have picked a better place to have their beautiful fall wedding. Sarrett Nature Center was setting for their wedding day. Sarah's mom was in a car accident the day before the wedding, and as a result of that accident, her leg was pretty badly broken. What a trooper her mom was though, she came straight from the hospital to her daughters' wedding. Now that is love and determination.

Our middle son Matthew married a lovely young lady name Katrina. We had a beautiful 80 degree autumn day. Katrina was a beautiful bride with a gorgeous dress. I know Katrina and her mom work very hard to make everything so pretty. Thank you to everyone who help make Matthew and Katrina's day so amazing. To my Mom and Tom, I couldn't have done everything I needed to do without your help.

I was pretty good till I walked up the stairs to get in line to be seated, and I looked up and saw my good looking husband and all three of my sons in tuxes, time stood still for just a moment as I thought how handsome they all looked. I thought to myself, how in the world did my sons grow up so fast, it seems like the last thing I remember is that they were all little squirts, then I cried and ruined my makeup. To me it crazy how you can have so many memories in just one moment of time. Anyway, here's some photos of that magical day with videos to follow soon. I wish I could post all of them, but my new daughter in law loves pictures as much as I do, all 1,500 of them.


Here's Matt walking in with Gracie the flower girl, they are cousins!

Excerpt From Wedding Vows

Here's just a sample of what the vows can sound like with wireless mics.

Prehoda Wedding

What a beautiful day for an outdoor wedding. Trisha looks so stunning among all the pretty colors. Mike and Trisha just blended in with scenery, sort of like they belonged there. The wedding and reception was held at the Blue Dress Barn which was decorated so spectacular. The pre-wedding photo shoot was downtown St. Joseph. I thought Mike with his groomsmen posing in front of all those old cars was really cool.

Chris & Sommer

Another beautiful summer day, just for the bride, Sommer. How appropriate is that? The church was unlike any church I have seen for a while and to think it exists in Benton Harbor. What a treasure. We had the privilege to work with Amy Witkowski, from Meister-Witkowski Photography. You can tell she loves her job, plus she takes lovely pictures.

Sommer and Chris looked way cool in that car at the beach sporting sun glasses and all, what fun! Their reception was at the Heritage Center in St. Joseph. Everything was just beautiful in there. I loved all the family pictures you had displayed, what a nice touch. Jackie you and your family did an awesome job planning all that.

Emily Getting Ready

I love to watch the brides getting ready. All the details. Emily looked so beautiful, just a glowing bride. I loved the fact that you wore your mother's veil from her wedding. How special. I was glad I could capture some of the those special moments that you tend to forget about when it is all said and done.

Emily and Alex were married in St. Joseph at the Band Shell. Alex's family came all the way from England to attend their son's wedding. Their reception was held at the Blue Dress Barn which always looks beautiful. I think Emily took out a row of lights throwing her bouquet. That was to funny.

Ammy & Brian

What a fun loving family. Wow! What alot of dancing Ammy, Brian and the whole family did that evening! I know everyone had a good time just being together, they wore me out and I didn't even dance. I loved how you all you just sang to each other all evening.

The Hinkelman's

Bridges, castles and golf courses! I didn't know there were so many beautiful bridges in Lansing. Korey & Levi jumped on bridges, danced in front of a castle and even drove a golf cart during their photo shoot. I had lots of fun!

Miss Coloma 2008

Lots of lovely young ladies. They all worked very hard for many months to get ready for the pageant. It was fun watching all of them get better and more confident with each practice.
