Courtney + Kevin’s Wedding!
Love these two!!! We have had so much fun with these two, from e-session to their wedding….could Courtney be any more gorgeous? They were married at Castle Farms in Charlevoix back in June, and silly me forgot to get most all her details. Anyway, that gives you more time to enjoy the photos!!
Thanks for being so awesome Courtney + Kevin!

This was one of my favorite couples photographed by your awesome team for the year. I love their look, their vibe, their ultra-cool passion for one another. And of course, I loved the photography.
Big congrats to them for choosing you, and huge congrats to you guys for working it (their day) for such fabulous results.

Alisha + Brian’s Wedding at the Chop House Ann Arbor
The more we get to know Alisha + Brian the more we love them. We didn’t get to do an e-session before the wedding, so I we didn’t know each other too well come wedding day-but we had nothing to worry about! We left their wedding feeling like we had a new adopted family. We just adore Alisha, Brian, and their families. Thanks for treating us so wonderfully! Since Alisha’s dad is an owner of the Chop House, it was shut down for the wedding all day on a Sunday-talk about special! Another special thing-they honeymooned in the gorgeous island of Montserrat for 2 whole weeks. Color me jealous!
Thanks again for trusting us with your wedding guys-your the best! Enjoy your upcoming journey to Greece!
Alisha + Brian’s Details:
Venue: The Chop House
Dress: Jenny Lee
Flowers: Thom Thompson Flowers, Ann Arbor
love this shot of Alisha + her dad right before the ceremony:
LOVE these! Alisha decided to throw her bouquet outside-the reactions are priceless:

You two just blow my mind, everytime. Wow.
Wow! We are speechless! Jess and Nate - you did a fabulous job! We couldn’t be more thrilled with these pictures and we can’t wait to see the rest.

simply beautiful… great work you two!! congratulations to the fabulous newlyweds! - katrina
Ok…..I think you two are absolutely amazing!!!! How do you get such stunning clients and locations…every picture on here amazes me. I’ve known you for a while, you are an inspiration…just had to let ya know!
I must say that out of all the wedding photographer blog’s I’ve seen, your website is by FAR “la creme de la creme”. Your photos, and ability to capture such beautiful moments are a fascination for us “to-be-brides”. I’m afraid your benchmark is set too high that it just makes the rest look like amateurs.
I have a question though, I love Kate’s earings + bracelet. Could you advise me what brand/where she got it from?
Kate + Mike - your photos are absolutely stunning! It makes all of us envy to have a day as magical like yours. =)
Many Thanks!

Well little Rocco Arrived in May, and we were able to shoot his newborn pics in June. He is one of the most beautiful babies I have ever seen! We did all of these photos in the comfort of their home, and I just love being able to do that for family sessions.
You will be seeing lots more of Rocco + his family-so stay tuned for more sessions!

Kelly + Joe at Deer Lake Beach House
Kelly + Joe were married in May at the super cool Deer Lake Beach House on Boyne’s property. We had a very windy + chilly day for their outdoor ceremony-but when the sun peaked out for a minute during the ceremony, everyone was in Awe. I love Kelly + Joe for their spunk and love of life! We really had an amazing time photographing them + their family.
Enjoy!
Kelly + Joe’s Details:
Venue: The Beach House on Deer Lake
Dress: Watters Bride

so pretty! congrats to the newly weds!!! the shot of them as they walked down the aisle is awesome. so in love!! beautiful job jess and nate!!! - katrina
Jess + Nate, these are magnificent. I was especially taken by the one of all the girls walking along together with their arms linked on this breezy stormy-looking day. And the one immediately after it, with the environmental scenery surrounding the bride & groom. I love the earthiness of it all.
you images have totally blown me away! Amazing work - the toning is awesome!
Thank you guys SOOOOOO much! We can’t tell you how thrilled we are with all the photos! You captured all the moments of the day so beautifully. We love our favorite ninja photographer duo!
