Dave and Ashley’s event was the capstone to a very busy 2009 summer wedding season. We had traveled near and far, but to have a Waterfall wedding at Frederik Meijer Gardens and then the reception immediately following was a great end to our busy season. Ashley originally contacted us about 16 months before her wedding date. We first exchanged a few emails, but after a while I didn’t hear back from her. As usual, we simply continued to follow up and low and behold she finally got back with us letting us know she was already planning on using us, so when could we get together to meet! That was music to our ears. The planning they put into their wedding day was quite a bit, but the final outcome was a beautiful day with friends and family. A last minute addition to their wedding was hiring Shutterbooth for their wedding reception. This was the first time having a Shutterbooth at a wedding reception, but it was the hit of the night, that’s for sure! If you would like to see their photos and how crazy the reception got, be sure to visit their website!
Enjoy their photos here and if you would like to see more be sure to view their entire wedding gallery, by visiting their personal website.
The day started off in a suite at the Prince Conference Center. I was thoroughly impressed with their facilities and staff!




Isn’t Ashley just stunning. No surprise that her nickname in school was ‘Barbie’.


I love this image of Ashley’s Dad. He was great at calming her nerves before the ceremony, but right after he gave her away, he just about lost it!




Dave had to be the best dipper I’ve seen yet. These two were great to work with!

Shutterbooth’s book option. The images print out right on the spot and you can write a short little note for the bride and groom! Awesome!

All the single ladies…seriously!
