The Zwier Family - Part One

We divided the Zwier Family Session into 3 different parts, so I'm going to post them as three separate posts. It was all in one afternoon/evening however, out at their lovely family cottage up north. We photographed the entire family, Katie (a senior session), and Laura & Ryan (a TTD session).

The first I'm going to post about is Katie Zwier who's about to begin her last year of high school - congrats Katie!! We had a fun time shooting with her, she was game for any crazy suggestion we threw her way...and we can come up with many! :) Here are some of my more favorite photos from that afternoon:

Tammy and I loved her dress, it went perfectly with the colors in the wheat field.

Right after Katie hopped on this, a big wave came crashing over it and almost rolled it over! Luckily, we got a great picture before it happened though! :)

So cute. I really liked the jean pictures. (As you can tell, we had her in the water a bit!)

Tammy and I really like this picture - notice her "model hair!" That's our favorite part! :) The colors, the waves and whitecaps, a few clouds, the splash around her feet...it's a great photo!

I like the peaceful/thoughtful look to this one.

Yup, I'm pretty sure her legs went all the way up to my shoulders!!

Well, there was your sample of Katie's part of the shoot, hope you enjoyed the pictures! Thanks to Katie for being so willing to work with us and our suggestions, and again, congratulations on becoming a senior! Enjoy your last year of high school!!

First Post! - DeBoer Wedding

Tammy and I photographed Lindy and Brian's wedding a little over a month ago now. The wedding took place in Holland, Michigan at a church in downtown Holland, with the reception taking place at Windmill Island. This was our first wedding in Holland, and hopefully not our last because it was beautiful! Of course, it helps that the bride was beautious herself!! :) Lindy was the cutest and prettiest little miniature bride ever! We had such a FUN time that day - it was quite a long one, but very fun. The bridal party was a very animated bunch and we all had a good time doing pictures together - even the boys! :) We had a little rain during the time we were doing pictures before the ceremony (We did ALL the pictures before the ceremony, which was a first for us, and it was WONDERFUL. I highly recommend it for any brides to be!!), but luckily Lindy and Brian were flexible and we still managed to get some unique and pretty pictures! I could write a bunch more about this wedding, but I'll stop now since I know all you really want is to see some portraits from it! :)

I could post quite a few more portraits, believe me! But these were just a few of (MANY!) our favorites. It was a very beautiful and fun wedding, which always results in great images! We're looking forward to designing Lindy and Brian their own personalized wedding album - it'll just be so hard to pick which photos won't make it into the album!! I will leave you with one more portrait, and it's our personal favorite!
