Summer has officially arrived! We have really booked up for the summer, and fall this year, and are starting to see the early birds book for 2010! Here is a taste of an engagement portrait captured in May. Caitlin and Ryan are planning an August wedding, in Baroda. The wedding reception will be held on their 18 acre property, which has been in the family for three generations. Right next door on either side also is owned by family, with a beautiful vineyard to the south. The area is commonly referred to as "Nitz Hill".

Dave and Cathy, Married!

So we are off and running into June. May seemed to be one of the longest and most challenging months on record for us. One of the highlights was Johnny's opportunity to stay on a really cool ranch in California. See the earlier blog of Laura on Mother's Day. Another highlight was the opportunity for me to photograph a wedding in Tampa Florida. Blog on the Tampa wedding to come! Also in May, we photographed several engagement portraits, many dog portraits, and a beautiful local wedding. Here are a few of our favorite images from the wedding. The ceremony was at St. Mary's in New Buffalo, with the reception at Heston Hills.

Art Attack takes place every year the first weekend in May. The weekend long event is sponsored by Local Color Gallery. It’s a blast! Many of the local businesses open their doors for gallery receptions, wine tastings, music, theatre, workshops and demonstrations.

We will be busy preparing our studio for the weekend. We always have a house full and for us it kicks off the season here in Michigan.

Here is one of my favorite pieces that sold last year.

Cathy & Dave

Oh my, Cathy and Dave’s wedding is less than a month away. Better get the engagement photos up before their wedding. We tottally loved spending the time together. We photographed Cathy & Dave at North Avenue Beach and used the bridge over Lake Shore Drive to Lincoln Park. We don’t typically use this area for engagement portraits but were thrilled with the results so we’ll definitely keep it in mind.

Well, if I’m going to post “Lake Effect”, I must post “Harvest Chic” which was featured in the fall issue of Wedding Essentials. This shoot was an absolute blast! We had our team out in full force with a little help from James Balodimas, http://www.jamesbalodimasphotography.com/ and Rob Freund, on camera, and our intern/assistant Shelbey Bartelheim.
