Rachael and James are such a sweet, sweet couple. It turned out to be a gorgeous afternoon for their Fredrick Meijer Garden wedding! We were able to get into the butterfly garden which was so beautiful. It was such an honor to be a part of their day and capture all the fun and memorable moments. I wish them both a lifetime of joy and happiness!

Amazing how mild the winter has been this year. There has been so much sunshine! It's fun to just go out and play, with no vision or goal, just to explore and photograph whatever I find along the way. I'm not generally big into shooting in direct sun or at high noon, but I changed my mind. It was fun messing to see the different bokeh effects with the sun shining and reflecting off the water. Focal length makes a huge difference with toning down the harsh shadows of the sun.
