Kate and Kevin have weathered a true storm, quite literally and figuratively. They were booked to get married and have us as their Kimball wedding photographers on June 7th of this year, and literally were holding out hope until about 3 weeks before. We gave them so many props, because while we were in contact with them, they seemed relatively low key about postponing. Solitude Links is an amazing Kimball wedding venue, and re-booked their wedding for a Sunday in August. As the date got closer, their indoors wedding got moved outdoors because of the executive order.  (more…)

I will never forgot meeting Ceil for the first time inside one of our favorite Downtown Port Huron coffee shops, The Exquisite Corpse. She met us along with her daughter in law and maid of honor, Julie. We had a latte, shook hands goodbye, and were excited to photograph her upcoming July wedding at Solitude Links. That date was March 11th, and if I would have known that that was the last time I’d leisurely sit in a coffee shop and look around and see the full smiling faces of people laughing and talking, I’d like to think I would have soaked it all in a bit more, because two days later I got a phone call at 6:00am that school was cancelled for the next two weeks (sigh. two weeks. Remember that?) I sent Ceil over her contract that day, and specifically remember thinking “I’m glad this will have all blown over at the end of July.” Courtney and I discussed the 4H Fair that was scheduled to happen the week leading up to Ceil’s wedding date, and chatted about back up plans in case one of her girl’s had a horse show that day. Flash forward to 4 months later, and we were able to finally photograph Ceil and John’s special day, Covid wedding style, and who could have ever guessed in March what that would have looked like. (Spoiler: it was stunning and so special and unique.) (more…)

Kristen and Dominic were one of our first 2020 weddings that we booked back in March of 2019. They both live in the Grand Rapids area, and loved Solitude Links and found us because of our website and past work done there. We met up at our old Port Huron photography studio (womp womp. We miss that place.) and got to know each other a bit. We learned that they love to travel, and met while being lifeguards at the city pool together. And most of all? We learned and saw just how much they love each other; that was obvious right from the start. Their Port Huron intimate wedding ended up being so beautiful and special, but it wasn’t an easy road getting there, that’s for sure.  (more…)
