Heather + Tom : : Preview Gallery!

When : : Saturday, May 3, 2008

Where : : Ceremony - Holland Heights Christian Reformed Church

Reception - Spring Lake Country Club

Total troupers these two (and their fabulous wedding party!). Despite the cold and dreary conditions, we went outside, got some amazing pictures in downtown Holland, and totally rocked it out. Tom and Heather also had one amazing reception with so many of their guests out on the dance floor dancing. That always makes for a great night!






















Brides and Grooms to be...if you haven't booked your DJ yet, I can't recommend these guys enough. This is Ryan Shine from Top 5 Entertainment. Not only were they completely professional, but SUCH a fun and energetic team of guys! They were out leading dances and getting the guests completely into the fun. I was very impressed and completely enjoyed working with them.



One of Heather's bridesmaids grabbed the mic later in the night to call Heather up to sing 'Love Shack' together. She claimed it wasn't a true party until they belted out this tune together. Love it!


What an amazing day! Congratulations and thank you SO MUCH for letting me be part of your day!

Katie & Dan

This evening Katie and Dan and I got together for their amazing engagement session. Starting out at Tulip Time in downtown Holland, we had the most perfect evening. Warm temperatures, beautiful flowers and the smells of caramel corn and elephant ears (a personal favorite!) permeating the air.

After we had spent our fill in Holland, we headed up to Grand Haven. Katie and Dan met in Grand Haven working as servers at Portabellos. Because the town had such meaning to them, they called up to this establishment to have their "Save the Date" information put on the marquee. Fabulous!





Check out the lobster shorts! Guess where Dan is from originally?
And that ring? The proposal was set in New York City at Rockafeller Center. Yep...Dan is definitely a keeper!




Katie and Dan...I am SO excited to shoot your wedding next summer. You two are simply fun and fabulous!

Jenna and Karly

Jenna and Karly are the adorable grandchildren of my friend Kelle. I've been taking pictures of these two since they were about one year old!

They are cousins and only a few weeks apart in age.

I also had a job shadow today helping out! This is Erick and he was shadowing me this morning for a paper he's doing for school. He did a fabulous job.



Fun Flashback: This was Jenna and Karly's first trip to the beach two years ago when I first began photographing them. This is one of my favorite pictures of these two!
