beth-ernie-michigan-engagement-photography
Each couple that becomes part of the lizzie photo story is special. Each and every one. There are so many stories, lives, backgrounds, and so many different expressions of love. When I met Beth & Ernie earlier this year, I saw a very real expression of their love: respect. Wedding planning is hard. Marriage is […]

Waiting & Anticipating – Kathy & Mark – West Michigan Wedding Photographer
Kathy and I first met years ago at Mars Hill. We learned each other’s stories over time, and together we have shared in some very joyous and very heartbreaking memories. We have shared in f new love, and cried over lost love. Though I’m no longer at Mars Hill, I cherish the days when Kathy […]

“Tweentography” – the Sweet Spot
Ladies, do you remember those awkward years? The ones when you aren’t still a little girl and aren’t quite yet a young woman? Think….remember…..and now pause….and breathe. 🙂 I look back on old photos of myself and see weird hair (not just because it was the 80s). I see parts that developed before other parts. […]

Julie & Troy – Grand Rapids wedding photographer
Anyone who knows Julie & Troy well loves them well. It’s really not that difficult. They are genuine, loving, loyal and a lot of fun. I’ve known Julie for quite a few years now, through some ups, through some downs, a journey of self discovery and a lot of blood sweat and tears. She is […]

honeymoon day 3 – Napa
Day 3 was a little slower paced….a slow morning….a leisurely afternoon…and wine tasting. We hit just two of what seemed like two million vineyards, but what we tasted & experienced was very yummy. Between the stunning views at Sterling Vineyards and the random Michigan run-in at Grgich Estate, it was a day of honeymooning bliss. […]

Honeymoon.Day 2 – Highway 1 and Muir Woods
Day 2 brought us to Highway 1 and a long drive along the coast. Perhaps it wouldn’t have been so long if we hadn’t made so many stops along the way, to take in the view, to let other cars pass, and of course, to stop, wander & take pictures of this breathtaking scenery. And […]

Amber and Norm’s winter wedding – Northern Michigan Wedding Photographer
Amber….there really aren’t enough words to describe her, but top of the list is sweet, caring, genuine, and faithful. I could go on and on and on….as I have known Amber since she was a baby. Yes, that long….and I was already in my teens (please, do not do the math here). Amber has been […]
