Learman, An October Barn Wedding in Grand Rapids, Michigan
Why a Fun, Laid-Back, and Fly-on-the-Wall Photographer is Key to Your Big Day
Your wedding day should be one of the most memorable, joyous, and relaxed days of your life, and choosing the right photographer plays a huge role in making that happen. As a wedding photographer with a fun, laid-back approach, I strive to help my clients fully embrace every moment of their special day without feeling overwhelmed by the camera. With my fly-on-the-wall photography style, I capture the natural beauty, raw emotions, and candid moments that make your wedding day unique and unforgettable.
This wedding is my Roman Empire.
Everything about the Learman wedding screams FUN. I knew it was fate when I pulled up to the girls blaring “Pink Pony Club” from their ready room (I also blared this song the entire drive there). The boys also had one request; game day walk-up photos. We got so lucky with the most beautiful blue skies October day! I know their party went wayyy into the night, but I still managed to get some of the craziest party photos before I left;) Highlights are here!

Weddings are full of excitement, laughter, and a whirlwind of emotions. I believe that wedding photography should be a reflection of those emotions, not something that adds stress to your already busy day. When you choose me as your wedding photographer, you’re choosing someone who will blend seamlessly into your celebration and ensure that your day unfolds naturally.
Here’s why working with a laid-back photographer like me will help you maximize your wedding day experience:
Less Stress, More Fun: Weddings can feel chaotic, but I’m here to help keep things calm and fun. With my relaxed, easygoing nature, I take the pressure off you and your guests, allowing everyone to focus on what really matters—celebrating your love. I’ll work in the background, ensuring that your photos capture all the joy without you feeling like you’re constantly posing.
Fly-on-the-Wall Approach: The key to great wedding photography is being unobtrusive. My fly-on-the-wall style means I don’t intrude on your moments but instead, capture them as they happen. Whether it's the look on your partner’s face as you walk down the aisle, the laughter during speeches, or the quiet moments you share together, I aim to document your wedding day in a way that feels organic and true to you.
Natural Candid Shots: The best moments at a wedding aren’t always planned—they’re the ones that happen spontaneously. From tears of joy to unexpected bursts of laughter, I’m there to capture those authentic, unposed moments that you’ll cherish forever. These candid shots become the memories that tell the true story of your day.
No Posing, Just Authenticity: While I’ll guide you through a few key moments (like family portraits or the first kiss), my focus is on creating real, unscripted photos that reflect who you are as a couple. My laid-back approach means you won’t feel forced into stiff, unnatural poses. Instead, I encourage you to relax and enjoy each other’s company—leaving me to document your love story as it unfolds.
Maximize Your Wedding Day Experience: Weddings fly by in the blink of an eye. By choosing a photographer who blends into the background, you can spend more time enjoying your day with loved ones rather than worrying about every shot. With my approach, I capture the essence of your celebration while you stay in the moment, making the most of every minute.
What to Expect from Your Wedding Photography Experience
When you book me as your wedding photographer, you’re not just hiring someone to take pictures—you’re gaining a trusted partner who’s committed to ensuring your day is as enjoyable as possible. Here’s what you can expect:
Pre-Wedding Consultation: We’ll start with a detailed consultation to understand your vision, preferences, and must-have shots. I’ll make sure I know exactly what moments are important to you, so I can seamlessly incorporate them into your day without interfering with the flow of your celebration.
On the Big Day: On your wedding day, I’ll arrive with a positive attitude, ready to capture everything from the small, intimate moments to the big milestones. I’ll be there for the candid photos, like getting ready with your bridal party or stealing a quiet moment alone with your partner, all while staying out of the way.
Post-Wedding Editing: After your wedding, I’ll carefully curate and edit your photos, ensuring they reflect the true essence of your day. From the soft light during your first dance to the laughter of your friends and family, I’ll work to bring those moments to life with a timeless, authentic look.
Why You Should Choose Me as Your Wedding Photographer
With my fun, laid-back attitude and fly-on-the-wall approach to wedding photography, I offer more than just a set of pictures—I provide a genuine, relaxed, and enjoyable experience that lets you focus on what matters most. I want you to remember your wedding day for the laughter, love, and unforgettable moments, not for the stress of posing for pictures.
I’m here to document your day in a way that feels completely natural and true to you as a couple. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who will capture the real you, while allowing you to stay in the moment and maximize your wedding day experience, I’d love to be a part of your celebration.
