Kristen + Ryan

Southeast Michigan wedding photography at Waldenwoods in Howell provided by Kellie Saunders and Leah Moss, two favorite Michigan wedding photographers.

I think I've photographed over 500 weddings in the last ten years. They all tend to blur in my mind after awhile. Brides and grooms come and go because after all, this is what I do for a living. But one thing is constant. I LOVE what I do and when I'm working with a couple, I never forget how much trust they place in me to keep their memories safe. It's an honor, truly it is! This wedding was no different. First let me tell you how much I love Waldenwoods! So gorgeous. Beyond gorgeous. There is a lake, a building with texture and history, woods, trees, a lovely pergola to get married under and so much more. Kristen and Ryan met with me long before their wedding while Kristen was finishing up medical school and Ryan was busy with a budding career as an engineer. These are two of the most highly educated, talented and kind hearted people I've ever met! I need to say they are humble as well.

They worked with Simply Brilliant events and Nicola worked magic for them so they could enjoy their day without troubles. One of my favorite parts of the day was when Kristen opened a gift from Ryan. It was in a big box and I thought, well this must be a photo of some sort. I was wrong, but kind of right. It was actually a custom frame with several photos from their time together when they dated. Each photo was from a special moment they shared and Ryan had a note on each photo with his memories in writing from that moment. It was so sweet of him! Ryan, if you are reading this, Kristen would like you to know that she opened the box with her car keys and not scissors. (This is an inside joke for those on the outside looking in... ha).

Their wedding day was simply beautiful and my sidekick Leah and I had a really wonderful time working with Ryan and Kristen. Please join me in wishing them the most beautiful life together! They have moved to Houston and I'm sure their friends and family miss them dearly. Cheers and congrats!!!!
