Susan & Jim - Tie the Knot with a Bang!

Had a great time shooting Susan and Jim's big day a couple weeks ago. The best part? It was at a venue quite literally a two minute drive from home! They had all the usual wedding day activities, ceremony, dinner, dancing, cutting of the cake, etc. with one little extra item on the agenda for the evening. They wanted to finish the night with a fireworks display... The tricky part was lighting the bride and groom and also having the fireworks show up in the exposure. I experimented with the lighting a bit and dragging the shutter and I think we ended up getting some pretty cool results.

Enjoy!

Senior Portraits: Amanda

A few weeks ago we shot some great senior portraits with Amanda who recently graduated from Traverse City Central. Amanda wanted to try something unique and pose with a horse.

This was our first time working with people and large animals for shots, but they were both great models. The horse's owner even had commands like "ears up!" to make sure we got some great shots!

Check out the results and remember that now's the time to get those portraits done for Senior Year!

Happy Independence Day! Frankfort, MI

There's nothing like the Fourth of July in Northern Michigan. This year, we skipped the Traverse City fireworks and made the drive out the Frankfort. We really think they do an amazing job out there and it's funded solely with donations.

Check out some of the beautiful shots we got this year. Can you believe these photos are untouched! The light was great. The photos really reminded us of a laser light show, so bright and full of color with the gorgeous contrast of Lake Michigan.

We hope that your Fourth was this lovely!

They Grow Up So Fast...

We just did a photo shoot for some friends near Hartland, MI.  Their daughter Celcilia was only a week old in these photos, but she hardly looks it. 

Bringing home a newborn is a busy time but they grow up so fast, make sure you capture it!

Wedding Preview: Jennifer and Justin- Northport Bay Retreat

We just shot Jennifer and Justin's wedding at the Northport Bay Retreat last weekend.  It was real family affair.

Even with the crumby weather, we got some really beautiful shots.  We really loved the Jennifer's birdcage veil.  It was so on trend and gave her a really modern look.


Here's a preview from the big day.  We'll have more posted shortly at www.jkphotoworks.com. See more of our work on Facebook
