Brown to Bailey

As some of you know, I am getting married this year. We are getting married on October 13th, 2017. It falls on Friday the 13th so I know it seems kind of weird but hey, we’re weird so I think its ok.

I met my fiancé when I was a junior in high school. He was the new kid in school and had moved to Ionia from Sault St. Marie. I thought he was oober cute and we instantly became best friends. We didn’t start actually dating until after I graduated high school, two years later. We have been together ever since and I couldn’t be happier that I get to marry my best friend. He means the world to me along with our three fur babies. By the time we get married we will have known each other for over 8 years and have been dating for over 6. This has been the most amazing 6 years of my life.

Yesterday, my partner over at Brick Street Studio, Marisa, took some engagement photos of us. We just went to one of the county parks in our small town of Ionia, Bertha Brock Park. We did a few shots in the woods and then Logan and I braved the, what we hoped was frozen, pond on our ice skates. I clearly lived to see today and didn’t fall through so needless to say everything turned out just fine. I edited all of the images but I wanted to share some that we took. I cannot wait for our big day to get here, it sure is approaching us quickly!

Brick Street Studio is only booking 3 more weddings for this year!

My fiancé and I just recently had our first photo session done that wasn’t by me or my best friend. These images were taken by our wedding photographer, Marisa Henry, she allowed me to edit them but she did a wonderful job shooting! Check out Marisa’s work on her website.

I wanted to share these because I honestly cannot stop looking at them and I cannot wait to get some of these enlarged and hung up on the walls in our new house. For those of you that don’t know, we have officially moved to Ionia. We have been living here for about a month now and we absolutely love it. I must admit, I was so nervous to move back to Ionia. I loved living in Grand Rapids, having everything I could ever need right at my finger tips. However, now that we have been here I realize I truly missed that small town living. I just love that there is not much traffic to deal with!

I was nervous moving my business back to my home town but I think it will turn into one of the best decisions we have made! My studio space is roughly the same set up, its a tad smaller but hey we are making it work out just fine! My office however, is a bit larger and it is so nice being able to have a nice little set up that people can come visit. The end goal is to be able to have clients come over and see all of their photos how I see them, on my giant computer screen in full color! I can’t wait to have my first client over once the office is completely finished (its so close!).

Any who, onto these images that I love so much. These were taken right outside of our new home. To me, that makes these even more meaningful. This is Logan and I’s first official home that we own and having images near by really makes it special. I can’t wait to marry my best friend next October.
