Love and Marriage

I had the pleasure of taking Erin and Nicks engagement pictures this past week. Two summers ago I took Erin's sisters wedding pictures. (It was the first wedding I had ever done) I remember how cute I thought Erin was when she read the matron of honor speech. Her and her sister seem so close.
Anyways, back to the happy couple. We were planning on doing indoor outdoor pictures but again, the weather here in Michigan is so unpredictable. It was so cold and windy that we just opted to stay inside. The pictures turned out cute because Erin is so tiny compared to Nick. She is just engulfed in his size. So cute!

Kurtis & Liz at Weko Beach

Liz and Kurtis finally got to do the pictures they wanted outside. Monday we headed down to Weko Beach located in Bridgman, to play around in the water and in the dunes. Kurtis and Liz both seemed so much more relaxed this time around. Maybe it was because we were outside in the open, and not stuck in a room with bright lights surrounding us. It was cloudy, but the pictures still turned out so cute. I think they really capture their true personalities.

Kurtis and Elizabeth

Kurtis and Elizabeth came into Zdanis Photography Studio today for a wedding consultation and some engagement pictures that came complimentary with the photo package they chose. We were originally suppose to take some pictures outside but it was so cold and rainy that we decided to take some inside and reschedule for outside. I usually enjoy outside photos more than inside but today was a lot of fun. Kurtis and Elizabeth brought along their adorable 1year old dalmatian who kept us all entertained and on our toes. We will post some more photos when we get some outside ones taken.

Kiya

My Granddaughter Kiya. AH.Dorable. She had the cutest little dresses, and the biggest most beautiful eyelashes.

Andrea Platz

I had the fantastic opportunity to take some photos of the owner of Violas cafe, found in Three Oaks, MI. Andrea wanted some very casual photos of her and her son. We took a few indoor shots and then ventured out into the beautiful weather. They seemed a little bashful at first, but a little while in they were relaxed and playful.
I always recommend taking both pictures inside and outside. Studio lighting is fun, but outside lighting is natural and beautiful.
