Sarah & Scott | Wedding | Karyn May Photography |Belmont, MI Wedding Photographers

Ok. I’m reviving this blog starting today! 🙂 It’s crazy how quickly an entire year can fly by without you realizing it…. 2014 was definitely a whirlwind for us which didn’t give us much time to update or share any of our weddings and events. So, with the start of Spring I thought it would be a perfect time to share some of the highlights from 2014. We were so fortunate to have awesome couples last year so to start the season off right here are a few of our faves from Sarah & Scott’s beautiful wedding held in Belmont, MI.

This adorable Chicago couple’s original plan was to have a beautiful outdoor ceremony with all photos following …they picked a venue and crossed their fingers it wouldn’t rain! The week of the wedding Sarah and I watched the weather forecast pretty closely as it was predicting a slow moving storm! So, after many conversations, we switched up the timeline and shooting locations. I’m SO glad we did, as it down POURED during their ceremony! Rebecca (she is awesome) with Ideal Events & Design quickly moved everything inside, not exactly what they had envisioned but it really didn’t matter where it was… They were just so happy to get married!! Rain does not have to ruin your wedding day as long as you have a plan B!! Ok. Onto the pics!:)

Winter sessions, I love them! I really do…There is something SO beautiful about a winter session. Now we all know that Michigan winters can be extremely cold and some what brutal but this sweet couple had the perfect balmy Michigan winter day. Meet Rachel & Jason. They are a totally awesome and fun couple! We had a blast shooting their session up in Conklin at Rachel’s Grandma’s farm. It’s was the perfect backdrop for their fun wintery shoot! Rachel and Jason are getting married this June at the beautiful historic Amway Grand Plaza Hotel and it’s going to be one beautiful wedding- Can’t wait you guys, only 3 more months!!!
