Heidi and Joel

Heidi and Joel were married July 14. Joel was my son's first friend in kindergarden, so it was pretty great for me to be a part of their day.
And what a beautiful day it was!




...lots of laughing...







...a little playing with the wind...




...and after the wedding we followed them around the beautiful Meijer Gardens...








Congratulations!!

Rainy Day

The sky opened up just when we were ready to go outside for pictures at Emily and Joe's wedding....


But we found some good light inside...



Emily's mom did all of the flowers...




...and the rain stopped in time for pictures after the ceremony.







Emily and Joe held their reception at Bridgewater Place in downtown Grand Rapids. It's one of my favorite venues to photograph.




Cheers!

My Friend, Ruthie

I'd like you to meet my young friend Ruthie. She has been visiting me about once a year since she was a little baby. We always have a good time... until we are both exhausted! ;-)

It Has Been so Long!

Wow it has been a long time since I posted! No good excuse, so I'll just get right back to it. Thanks for visiting!

Kristen and Curt

Kristen and Curt were married on a beautiful sunny day in September. Now that life at Sportel Photography has slowed a touch I can share a few images of their day with you.
