Photo by Heather Cisler Photography Do you ever feel like everyone is just bursting with excitement and you just can’t seem to keep up with all of it?  Is everything really “so exciting”?  I follow a lot of people in the wedding industry across social media and on any given day there’s always someone who’s […]

Last week I had the pleasure of my niece’s company.  She’s four and it was a little challenging… okay, A LOT challenging.  There were moments of laughter, annoyance and pure amazement, just wondering how her little innocent and overly imaginative mind works (to all you moms with 2+ kids, I applaud you). And throughout her […]

Let’s face it ladies, when it comes to the groom sometimes his attire gets a tad overlooked.  We spend hours, days or even weeks searching for the perfect wedding dress and gowns for our maids.  But when it comes to the gentlemen’s apparel we tend to just throw him in a black tux or grey […]

The last couple of days I’ve been a little Pinterest obsessed.  I had gotten away from it for a while but it really is a great resource for capturing ideas that you love.  Generally as I’m out and about in on the world wide web and I come across a picture, a bouquet or whatever […]

Hey West Michigan!  Want to talk about the weather?  Does anyone else feel like that’s the only topic being discussed right now?  Yes we have snow… thanks for the update. Sheesh!! When I was younger, any time we were planning an event or family gathering in the winter my grandparents were always the first to […]

I have had doodles, designs and to-do lists scattered about my desk for months now, all revolving around my little sister’s wedding.  I am so excited for her and I keep going back to the plans trying to figure out how to make this the absolute wedding of her DREAMS.  Now, admittedly I must say […]

A couple weekends ago I was able to show my grandpa (who barely even knows what the internet is, much less how to actually use it), my website for the very first time.  He has heard me talk about my photo shoots and weddings but never completely understood the extent of what I actually do.  […]

Simple, clean, elegant and timeless – white has been the go-to color for the modern bride.  Whether lace or taffeta, short or long, it seems hard for us to imagine a decade when the bride didn’t wear white.  But this tradition really hasn’t been in fashion as long as one might think. Throughout history brides […]

As the holidays approach, it means engagement season is just around the corner.  Engagement season?  Yes!!  That magical span of months which bring romantic evenings, warming your toes by the fire and lots of new sparkly bling.  Just watch your social media feeds, you’re about to get bombarded! Maybe you’re one of the lovely ladies […]
