Kai Heeringa Photography

This past fall we had the pleasure of working with Grand Rapids based, husband and wife team Kai and Kayley Heeringa of Kia Heeringa Photography. For over four years the duo have been photographing together from Northern Michigan to Scotland and everywhere in-between!

Wedding days seem to go so quickly for all of those involved and it is important to capture the people and details for our clients and Kai and Kayley are just the people to do so. They love to show their clients a perspective of their weddings that they themselves were not able to see until well after the last candle is blown out.

Providing their clients with images that are unique and true to their event they make their photography interesting to everyone viewing it, not just to those who know the subjects.

Before we take a look at McKenzi and Rob's wedding from this past fall here are a few of my favorites from Kai and Kayley...

























Thanks Kai and Kayley for sharing your talents with all of us! Make sure to check out their blog here for their most current work!

Marissa & Jonathan, Part I

Last May I met Marissa and Jonathan at Amical for lunch in downtown Traverse City after their wedding... yes, you read that right! They eloped in March to Maui and then we threw a party for 200 of their closest family and friends in September at their home here Northern Michigan on Lake Michigan to celebrate!

Before we dive into the lakeshore tropical wedding reception I wanted to share with you their intimate Hawaiian wedding at the Four Seasons in Maui that inspired the details and design back home... Photos by Scott Drexler Photography.







































The lush tropical floral of the island, sophisticated purple hues and gorgeous sunset vistas were the backdrop of Jonathan and Marissa's wedding ceremony and reception. The only difference... 4,300 miles, fresh water beaches and one killer party!
