Andy & Jessica | Wedding | Karyn May Photography | Grand Rapids, MI Wedding Photographer

Meet Andy & Jessica! These two know how to love big, are super sweet to each other and perfect together! They live in Virginia but were married here in Grand Rapids where Jessica grew up. Joe and I are so lucky to have so many wonderful clients- Jess & Andy, we adore you! The day started out a little chilly and breezy but at least the rain held off- Yay!! The day was filled with lots of love and laughter and was so relaxed- I love that! They were surrounded by their family ( who are wonderful! ) and closest friends.. the day was simply perfect!

Jessica and Andy, we had so much fun celebrating with you and your Amazing families! You two were an absolute Joy to work with. Congratulations on your new life together!

We started the day at the Courtyard Marriott

Meet Sol and Anna Kate! These two had a sweet intimate afternoon wedding and reception at Townsend Park. It was a beautiful day filled with family, close friends, and lots of love!

Ross & Mari | Engagement | Karyn May Photography | Grand Rapids, MI Engagement Photographer

Fall is by far my absolute favorite time of year!! It brings in the cool crisp clean air, the warm scents, and the leaves provide a wonderful assortment of colors, it’s really a beautiful time in Michigan! It’s all about beauty and transition! I love to shoot fall engagement sessions and I’m so glad Mari loves the season just as much as I do. Meet Ross & Mari. 🙂 These two are so sweet, easy going, love the outdoors and are so cute together! They really made our job easy! We met up in Lowell and planned to shoot at Fallasburg Park, but found a few great spots along the way which were absolutely perfect and filled with lots of color! We had so much fun with these two. Mari & Ross you guys are Awesome and we can’t wait for your wedding next year!!

Enjoy your preview! 🙂

Andy & Sarah | Engagement | Karyn May Photography | Grand Rapids Engagement Photographer

Meet Andy & Sarah! Together these two are one Fabulous couple! They are both funny and playful and obviously very much in love, I just adore their funny dynamic! We started the session in downtown Grand Rapids. The weather was looking a little iffy, but we managed to get a few great shots before it started to downpour! So, we had to cut it short and plan for round two. Sarah really wanted to shoot at a playground to show their silly playful side so we picked up where we left off then we headed to the playground. 🙂 Andy and Sarah you two are wonderful! We can’t wait for your wedding next year!!

Mwah! Love you guys!! 😉
