Every time Kristi turns photos in to the studio from that weekend’s wedding I become more and more impressed.  She has learned so much and improved in skill even more.  I just love having her on our team!

Steve and Amy were married on the lakeshore of Lake Michigan over the Fourth of July holiday.  What a gorgeous day that was!  The day was centered around the two of them becoming husband and wife, surrounded by their closest family and friends.  What a great way to start a life together……!

Sneaking out for sunset photos is always the best part of the day.  The craziness is over and the bride and groom can just focus on one another…!
