I am thrilled to share Jessica and Chris' Homestead wedding, which was recently chosen for the cover and for a feature story in Traverse Magazine's My North Wedding!

The incredibly talented Brian Confer was my second shooter, so of course I was very fortunate to have him along.  Thank you, Brian!

More favorite imagery to come from this wedding soon. This blog post is simply showcasing and celebrating our recent good news that Jessica and Chris' wedding has been published!  Many thanks to those involved for making us feel welcome and for helping (by doing your jobs and sharing your talents) us to fully document the day with ease.  Most importantly, to Jessica and Chris and your love for one another.  Cheers to the two of you and to the years to come!

Kristina and Ryan contacted me last spring when they began making plans for their five year anniversary celebration.  As they had once lived in the Traverse City area, they decided to venture to Northern Michigan to spend their celebratory weekend (and take some photos).

Kristina and Ryan, time spent with you was an adventure and full of lots of laughter.  Here's to the two of you and to the many more anniversaries yet to come!

- Beth

What, it's mid-September?  How did this happen...especially since I began drafting this post the first of this month?!  Today I self-declared it's officially fall as I ate two ripened apples off of a local tree, the trees are definitely beginning to take on a hint of changing colors, plus my Patagonia Better Sweater has re-entered my wardrobe on a daily basis.  (My favorite piece of clothing, btw, and a must have if you live in a climate similar to Northern Michigan.)  Although I've managed to always put "blog post" at the top of my to-do list since May, it's never happened.  Items further on down have always seemed to overtake me in precedence.

I'm finally dedicating the time for posting new imagery on this blogsite so here we go.  Scroll down and you'll be on your way!

Happy Fall - It's here, embrace it!    -Beth

Ali was married in 2009, and is a custom wedding dress designer/maker.  It would be a pretty good inference, and an accurate one, to say she designed and sewed her own wedding dress.  I cannot take credit for taking Ali's wedding photos, Jan-Michael Stump was her photographer, but I did have the opportunity to work with her in the studio for a bridal portrait shoot.  We played with different variations during her session, including using strobes vs. natural light, with and without the red rose bouquet (arranged by Ali's mom), as well as the red lipstick which we decided we wanted to try mid-session.  Thank goodness we have a salon, Tonic Salon & Gallery, next door to the studio so I popped in and was promptly given a tube of lipstick to borrow thanks to Shawnee!

To learn more about Ali, the best link I may give you is a recent article in The Northern Express.  It perfectly describes Ali's process when designing her wedding gowns, including her own.  To reach Ali, click here to email her.  Enjoy some of our top picks from the session below!   - Beth

nsb.jpgLook what I just unearthed!  Spring Break circa the 80's, me and my Dad enjoying some quality beach time.  I love this photo as it brings back memories of simple joy and innocence right down to my grandma, hipster-cut swimsuit and my Dad's yellow mesh back and front padded baseball style hat.  Had my father saved that hat I bet it would now sell quickly on Ebay as it's back in style.  My swimsuit?  Not so much.

We had no idea what email was, definitely did not have cell phones and we probably went back to the condo and cooked dinner together as a family.  We didn't see this photo until after our vacation because it was shot on film and I'm pretty certain the local drugstore did not have one-hour processing.  Those were the days! 

Now excuse me as I must go update my Facebook page, return a text, and Tweet something clever because it's been a couple days (which is making me look extinct in cyberspace in the 21st century).  I then need to post-produce a photo shoot and retouch another because it's no longer on the lab's shoulders but mine.  No Spring Break for me.  No time.  Thank goodness for the 80ties!    - Beth
