jacob + kaitlin : lifestyle engagement session

ben — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 12:00:26 +0000

we were really excited when jacob and kaitlin told us they wanted an old schoolhouse feel to their engagement session. they wanted to think outside the box and do something unique, which we obviously were all about! jacob and kaitlin met while studying so she thought it would be fitting to have that be the theme of their session. when kaitlin asked if we knew of any old schoolhouses … we were super excited that we actually did … this particular schoolhouse was built in the late 1800′s and has such unique character! we had an incredible shoot and were so very happy with the final results … enjoy :)

nick + brynna : grand rapids wedding

ben — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 12:00:31 +0000

We had the wonderful opportunity to document Nick and Brynna’s wedding a few weeks back and it was one crazy day! Brynna is absolutely hilarious while Nick just sits back and chills out and laughs every few minutes! The perfect balance! They live out in San Fransisco, but decided to have their wedding back in Michigan b/c Brynna grew up here … we wish they lived a bit closer so we could hang! Thanks so much guys for being so wonderful to us … we hope you love the final result.
