Anna & Riemer| Wedding | Karyn May Photography | Grand Rapids, MI Wedding Photographers

Happy New Year everyone! I can’t believe it’s 2016 already!! I’m sure I’ve said this a million times before but I cannot believe how quickly this past year has flown by. New Years is actually one of my favorite holidays, having a fresh new start is so exciting for me plus, I love being able to look back and remember all of the cool places I went, the memories I made with family and friends, and the awesome couples we were fortunate to work with, you know.. all the important things. 😉 2015 was a really BUSY year for us filled with lots of up and downs…. We’ve had a lot of growth this past year professionally and personally and are excited to make some new changes! So, for those who continuously support and love us, you guys are everything! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts! xoxo

Ok.. onto our first wedding for 2016!! Meet Anna & Riemer, these two are just the sweetest, easy going, and fun loving couple ever. These two had a beautiful winter wedding on January second here in Grand Rapids, MI. It was a COLD day, with a few moments of sunshine but for a January wedding in Michigan, we really lucked out with the weather! The day was perfectly planned by sweet Rebecca of Ideal Events and Design. It was so awesome starting our 2016 wedding season with this wonderful couple, you guys are just the BEST!

Sarah & Luis | Wedding| Karyn May Photography | Ludington, MI Wedding Photographers

Meet Sarah & Luis. This BEAUTIFUL Northern Michigan DIY wedding was created by the bride, groom and their families. Sarah is super duper sweet and was full of unique and fun ideas and really did an incredible job transforming their family property into a gorgeous space for their ceremony and reception! They did all the flowers and details themselves and boy did they do a spectacular job! All the details truly were a reflection of their individual personalities right down to the organic food, edible flowers, flower bombs, and their personally designed monogram which was designed by Sarah who is a awesome web designer. These two really exude patience and kindness and were truly a joy to be around!

To our sweet Sarah & Luis, we wish you both LOTS & LOTS of happy days together and can’t thank you enough for allowing us to share in your special day!!

Much Love!! xoxo

Kmay & Joe
