max+chelsea {truly.best.friends}

when i first met my wife...it was, in a sense, a two for one special* chelsea and jana: best of friends, thick as thieves, two peas in a pod...

i had the honor of having chels on my side as i fell in love with, pursued, courted, married, pursued, pursued, pursued my beautiful bride.

and now, jana and i have the honor of being on her side as chelsea soon will become mrs. max garter! chelsea has found a new best friend in max...an incredible man of God and now truly a good friend of mine*

so good for each other, so overjoyed, so clear eyed and head over heals in love.

being a part of their story is truly a humbling honor.  cheers for best friends in love!

luis+maria {from.sand.&.city.with.love}

i love shooting in michigan, and i certainly love our city of grand.rapids! but when maria and luis said 'chicago' - i jumped at the chance...and exciting possibilities*

we had a great day, starting at the beach where these two best friends had their very first date, and ended in a city that luis knows all too well - the windy city delivered with a beautiful day, and spectacular skylines!

anthony+katie engagement

i don't think we could have packed in more locations into a single engagement session, and with such class and beauty! haha...shooting tony and katie's 'she said yes' session was every bit of spontaneous, fun, whimsical, romantic, and beautiful that you could imagine.  it is so great that i have the privilege to be with these two in june! talk about party - can't wait friends! -npe
