This time last summer, I finally met Kelly, a bride from Michigan I had only talked on the phone with – and was able to work for my good friend Matt who owns Yeoman Photography (Grand Rapids, MI) and capture her wedding to Andrew on the absolutely picturesque location of Mackinac Island, MI! It was an amazing trip made perfect by the bond I had with Kelly – we just clicked (no pun intended!) and from the moment I met her after traveling from CA by plane, car and boat – I knew she was special! A year later, I received a package in the mail with a sweet note of thanks and a DVD of the classic movie, Somewhere in Time! (Somewhere in Time is a wonderful romantic movie set at The Grand Hotel with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymore that I highly recommend!) It blew me away how kind and thoughtful Kelly was – and the timing was amazing! I’ve been planning to do a 1 year anniversary blog post of their Day After photo shoot that I did with Matt.
Here are a few of my favorites, congratulations you two – and I’m so excited about your new adventures together this month!!

I would love to share, with Kelly’s permission, my card with you: “Jessica, I am passing along a heartfelt thank you for being there with me throughout the weekend of my wedding! I do not regret not having bridesmaids, however I did suspect that I would regret not having my friends there the morning of my wedding. Little could I have imagined what a gift it was to have you at the hotel while I was getting ready for one of the most important days of my life! You were an angel in disguise! 🙂 Not only did you capture what was most important for Andrew and I, but you helped capture some beautiful moments as I walked in my dress into Lake Huron with the Mackinaw Bridge behind me! Good luck with all of your future endevors! Live, Love, Laugh, Kelly” This makes my heart happy and I feel so blessed – thank you Kelly!!!
Cheers, you two!! Congratulations – enjoy your Anniversary this weekend! Big Hugs- Jessica
