Erin + Chadd = Married!

Chadd and Erin were married Saturday the 20th of September in Muskegon on a gorgeous Saturday! Erin had one of the coolest bouquets, complete with peacock accent feathers and green hydrangeas, and some green orchids whose name unfortunately I"m not sure of, all I know is that her flowers and details were amazing! We had so much fun in Muskegon, at Kruse Park, although it was unseasonably hot for this time of year, not great for guys in hot tuxes! Then we went to some of my favorite spots in Muskegon by the railroad depot, for lots of fun stuff with the wedding party, who were very fun to work with, and teased me all day long! ( I think I may have given some back as well!!) Here are a few of my favorite shots from throughout the day!




Chadd was being unusually cooperative at this moment and I was able to actually get a serious one out of him, good job Chadd!!



Gotta love those dimples!



One of those "tinking the glasses" moments at the reception...



Those beautiful green orchids were also adorning the cake, I"m going to have to figure out what those are called.....



Even the glasses were the same shade of green, love that!



A perfect toast....



This was so cute, Erin's brother sang the couples first dance song, which was the song from the Wedding Singer that Adam Sandler sang to Drew Barrymore, how cute!!



Enjoying their first dance......



The ladies showing a little leg here....



Blowing her groom a kiss.......




I really love these shots of Erin in the field here at the beach....






Erin, you were a gorgeous bride!!



These two look like trouble!
























Erin wore one of those awesome long veils, perfect for photographers who like to get shots from under them!!












A ceremony shot from the balcony....



Having way too much fun on the trolley!



The veil takes over the sky.......









Two little dolls...











Now that's a cool tie pin....



Getting ready.....



Peacock feathers are beautiful, I love the colors, and I was so excited to see them used as both decor and in the flower arrangements, I don't believe I've actually seen these used before in a wedding!
























Chinese lanterns always make for awesome decor.....




These guys were way too much fun....!



and not a bit shy!!









I think Chadd is doing a crazy dance here on his way to remove the garter, by the look on Erin's face, I think she was entertained as was everyone else!












Chadd was loving this attention....!



Two of the ladies wore green, and the rest were in black, I love that! Great use of color!


























I literally took these pictures with the veil over the top of me, laying down, and with my camera upside down. When I loaded them into my computer, I had to rotate them 180 degrees, I think that's a first for me!












My assistant Joe, took the ring shots in front of the stained glass windows, I love the purple on this one and the color reflection in the rings themselves!






















Erin is fitting that beautiful orchid into her hair, it held up all day surprisingly with no wilting, and didn't fall out once!



She decided to wander a bit during the ceremony!






Yup, they're married!



I love this shot of Grandpa!


Congratulations again Chadd and Erin, your wedding day was both beautiful and a blast! Thank you again for including us in your day and best wishes to you as you start your lives together!!
