Kori and Adam

Kori and Adam were married yesterday on Sugar Island near Sault Ste. Marie. I’m still up north so their preview on Facebook will be a few days late. This photo is from Friday night, and that’s Canada in the background.

2010 in Portraits

Brett Maxwell — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 18:05:33 +0000

2010 was a great year. As I began to put together a summary post the number of photos I wanted to include skipped quickly from the dozens to the hundreds, so I am splitting this into two posts and have narrowed down my initial selection significantly. I’m resisting the urges to go through my archives again, tell a story with each photo, or spend too much time deciding in what order they should go. All my favorite candid moments will be posted in a few days. So, without further adieu, these are some of my favorite wedding and engagement portraits of 2010:

Sara and Steven

My last shoot of 2010! What a great year. I’ll be putting up some 2010 highlights later this week, so come back for that.

This is Sara and Steven. We met to have lunch and catch up while it was pouring rain, but by the time we left it had turned into the warmest and most beautiful December day Lansing has ever seen. I have good luck. Or maybe it was them.

Emily and Samuel

This was actually a two-part engagement session. The first day it was dumping snow, so we just took a few quick photos, had a snowball fight, then went and warmed up with some coffee. Then two days later we got a beautiful day to shoot a bit more, even if it was still below freezing.

Emily and Adam

This was part of my week of Emilys; a wedding and two engagement shoots each with an Emily. Here’s Emily and Adam, we kept it pretty quick since it was a frigid 13 degrees (photo below to prove it), but it was great just having a drink with them and taking a warm-up break for some coffee.

Elida and Brian – Engagement Photos

Brett Maxwell — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 04:11:07 +0000

Okay, I’m doing things a little backwards here and posting engagement photos after the wedding. Elida and Brian were married last week, but since they live in Arizona we weren’t able to do engagement photos until just a few days before the wedding.

Melanie and Dave

Brett Maxwell — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 18:20:54 +0000

This is Melanie and Dave. They met in Grand Rapids, they’re getting married there next summer, so that’s where we shot their engagement photos recently. We started at Founder’s Brewing, wandered around the city, and hit MadCap Coffee along the way. That’s a perfect day in my book.

Annie and Brooks

It’s been a busy month, so this engagement session from a few weeks ago almost got lost in the “to-blog” pile. Annie, Brooks and I went out to Lake Michigan on a beautiful day. I remember talking about Maui a fair bit, which is where my wife and I honeymooned and where they will be honeymooning next year. I could talk about that for days, there are so many great things to do, see, and eat. I think I’ll create a little “Honeymooner’s Guide to Maui” for them.
