Alex and Tara were one of the first weddings I ever photographed in my business. I had done some second hand for another photographer but this one I did for Kara Hanes Photography. This couple was and is the sweetest people and they took a chance on me and I’m eternally grateful. I’ve actually had other opportunities to photographer there family recently and we still talk about how breath taking their ceremony was.

Alex and Tara planned on having their ceremony in a private land plot overlooking Lake Michigan. However there were so many trees you really couldn’t see the lake. The owner of a house next door was so gracious and offered his backyard. Now when you scroll through you’ll see why this was so exciting for them to do. It’s almost as if this back yard was made for this specific ceremony.

For those of you planning smaller weddings You can see that this is certainly a possibility. The evening was complete with a private space at Boatwerks in Holland!
