John + Scott; Grand Haven, MI - Part I

I was so excited when John + Scott booked their wedding with JW Picture Studio!  I knew from the first moment that I spoke to John, that this would be a very special wedding for me.  John and his partner, Scott, are perfectly paired and they come with the perfect package of awesome family and friends.  I was a bit jealous that I was the photographer and not just a guest!

Part I - Pre-wedding shoot at the Grand Haven Lighthouse:

This was my first in person meeting with John and Scott.  I was nervous but excited to meet everyone, and super excited that John's gorgeous kids, Sean and Sarah came along with. 

 It was rainy most of the day and I was afraid the weather would not hold up long enough to get good shots.  Man, it was beautiful, but VERY windy.  Water was blowing everywhere when we reached the pier to the lighthouse.  John and Scott were not intimidated by the wind or the water, thank goodness, because these two got some great shots!

Here are few outtakes from the session.  

In between all of the great shots, this is what we were dealing with!  No biggie, they were game.  I loved that! 

Did I mention what a great Dad John is?  He carried Sarah's shoes, helped her change from her heels to her flats, okay pretty much changed them for her, and sent her back to the car when we realized how windy it was.  It was heartwarming to watch.  

Stay tuned for Part II of this love story.
