Two weddings photographed and a family photography session in southwest Michigan

Last weekend I was again in Southwest Michigan covering two weddings and a family photography session. 

I started out Thursday Night in the Paw Paw area with a beautiful family shoot on a lake.  It was fantastic and we made incredible images of Mom, Dad, Daughter, and their dog.  Here are a few of the images:

Check out an image slide show from this family photography shoot here.

The first wedding was on 8.8.8 and was fantastic.  The day was just perfect and we made images at the church in Paw Paw, on a lake, outdoors, and at the Lawton Community Center which is perfect!  Here is my review of this wedding;

Beginning at the church, it was a nice location with a host of great spots for images.  The church is attached to the school so the ladies got dressed in the school.  The church is St. Mary’s Church and you can see their website here.

The reception was at the Lawton Community Center which is large and has ample room for the 300 guests that attended.  You can also get married there if you would like.  The Lawton Community Center is a rock building and is very nice too.  This is a perfect spot for weddings.  The flowers out front were awesome and the place looked fantastic.  You can see the Lawton Heritage Community Center’s website here.

The Videographer was Jordan Campagna and he was very nice.  I haven’t seen his work but I know that he is very nice to work with and it was nice talking with him too.  He is attending Columbia College and you can find him through Facebook if you would like.

The DJs were Corey Thorpe and Tristan Livock.

It was a party and you can see an image wedding image slideshow from Amy and Erik here.

Enjoy these wedding images:

Saturday was a wedding in Bath, Michigan at Eagle Eye Golf Club.  This is a nice
spot for a wedding and reception and Jessica and Jason had their entire wedding at the venue.  With the exception of a small amount of rain and high winds, the day was sunny and nice.  We made incredible images all day and the whole day was within walking distance.  I would recommend the Eagle Eye Golf Club and Hawk Hollow for your wedding and reception.  See the Eagle Eye website here. They are in the process of building a Chapel at Hawk Hollow too.  It is a beautiful spot but there will probably be other receptions and/or weddings going on the same time your wedding is taking place.  If you are OK with that then it is perfect.  I had to dodge one other wedding couple and their photographer during sunset images but it was not a big deal.  Check out these killer images from their weddings!

The officiant was Dr. Lynn Brown and she was good.  The DJs were a team of two Brothers and their company happens to be called Brother DJ.  They are from Grand Rapids area and they are really good and funny too!  I would check them out if you need a DJ!

You can see an image slideshow from the wedding here.

Jessica’s dress was really unique and very pretty.  I enjoyed my time with the couple and the DJ really kept the party going all night long!
