1.15.08 : : Bid for Bachelors and Bachelorettes Shoot #2

This evening was round two of headshots for the upcoming Bid for Bachelors and Bachelorettes, and as always was such a blast!

There was also a meeting held afterwards for the committee at the new and ultra chic ultra lounge Eve which is the newest hot spot in Grand Rapids. It is also where this fabulous event will be held next month.

And if this event sounds too good to pass up, but your not of the single crowd anymore, we are looking for volunteers and sponsors who would be interested in helping with this very fun and very fabulous event. All of the proceeds stay right here in West Michigan to help those who are affected with Cystic Fibrosis. If you're interested in volunteering, you can email Michelle at mripley@pmcpa.com for more information.

Or, if you are of the single crowd and are interested in more information, you can visit the website at http://www.bidforbach.org/ for more information.

Nikki + Scott : : Wedding Preview!

When: Friday, January 4, 2008 (first wedding of the new year!)

Where: English Hills Terrace, Grand Rapids, MI

Highlight of the Day: Not only did I love working with Jen for this wedding, I just loved being back in the swing of things shooting a wedding! As soon as we walked into the hotel room where all of the wedding party was getting together, I knew it would be a fun day. The girls had a suite where they were getting ready and there were girls, boys, and kids everywhere. It was such a fun atmosphere and continued all day long. Congratulations to this happy couple!

This little one could not be more excited to be in her wedding attire.

Jen working her magic.

So serious....
But there's a smile!

This beautiful bride put all of her flowers together herself. They turned out amazing!

And despite the very cold temperatures, these two were troopers for some outside shots.

I'm still not convinced this bridesmaid is not Giada De Laurentiis Sometimes you just want to let loose a little...

Barb Hoek and her staff are phenominal. This cake was amazing! I loved the design and colors.

The reception was decorated in pinks, blacks, whites and silvers and they had beautifully wrapped presents incorporated into much of the decor.

This little ladies man was practicing up...
Looks like he's got his moves down to impress all the girls!

1.13.08 : : City of Love

Amy and Aaron are one adorable couple!

I was so excited to have an engagement shoot this weekend. Winter can be a slower time for these sessions and I can honestly say I have missed it. It sure didn't hurt that these two were fun and energetic and made working with them hardly like work at all.

They also had a special request to do a shoot looking over downtown from the Bridgewater Place which I was more than happy to oblige to. Plus, what better way to show off those fabulous hot pink shoes! (I had shoe envy!!)
