This is just a sneak peek at Leah and Todd’s beautiful wedding in Holland, Michigan this weekend. The ceremony at the Weaver House in Pine Bend was beautiful as was the the Macatawa Bay Yacht Club reception. More to come in the coming week, so check back soon!
We’ll be photographing Leah and Todd’s wedding in Holland this weekend. It should be a beautiful celebration. The bride and groom are planning on sailing into the reception on a sailboat with their wedding party. Here are some photos from their engagement session taken in downtown Holland, Michigan and the Holland State Park on Thanksgiving Day last year. Check back next week for more images from their wedding.
This evening is the opening reception for the Michiana Annual Arts Competition (MAAC) which will begin at 5:30. This is the first time I’ve ever entered the local artists competition at St. Joseph, Michigan’s Box Factory for the Arts, and I am honored that my photograph “Carousel”, featuring one of the figures from the new Silver Beach Carousel, was selected to be included in the exhibit that will run until July 26.
I had the opportunity to stop by the Box Factory earlier this week as volunteers were hanging pieces chosen for the exhibit. Hats off to all of the artists featured in the show, there are some really creative works of art on display. Susan Henshaw’s pastel which was selected as the Best of Show is quite stunning. 2010 is a record year for the show as 229 artists submitted 434 pieces of artwork for consideration.
Be sure to stop by the Box Factory if you’ll be in St. Joseph before July 26.
Ok, I’m only going to mention this once, and then I’ll get off my soapbox about it… I think photography contests are kind of silly. That said, I do occasionally enter them. This month, three of our images from 2009 weddings – two in Chicago and one on a beautiful private residence on Lake Michigan in St. Joseph placed in their respective categories in the International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers Spring 2010 contest. This was the first time we’ve entered the ISPWP’s contest, so we’re excited to have a few of our images selected. One image from Cristin and Ryan’s wedding at St. Clement Church in Chicago was chosen and is one of my all time favorites.
Be sure to check out our featured photographer spot on Shore Bride Magazine Online this week. Photos from Amanda and Ron’s Anniversary Session at the Blue Dress Barn in Millburg, Michigan and from Cristin and Ryan’s beautiful Chicago wedding at St. Clements Church and reception at Salvatore’s Restaurant are featured. Shore Bride is also an excellent resource if you’re planning a wedding in Chicago or West Michigan.
