soulful, authentic and timeless imagery based in west michigan

I would say our first wedding of the year was a success... don’t these two look amazing with Lake Walloon as their backdrop?! Excited to get this film back!
Heading to Walloon today to create more magic with @merrymakersnme ! This photo was from the last wedding we had at the same location! Soooo excited!!!
Our first up north wedding of the year is THIS weekend! Excited is an understatement, let’s get this wedding season going!
I hope everyone had a wonderful day with friends and family. How amazing that we can grill out and spend time with those we love the most because of the sacrifice that others have made? // Today I’m finishing up blossom mini editing and I’m just obsessed with this image in particular! Gosh, isn’t little Mila like a true baby model?! #ashleyslaterphotography
Apple blossom mini sessions were so much fun last week. Getting film back from Kalamazoo (where we had sun!) is so dreamy. I’m obsessed with this shot I got of Lydia and her cello (I might have weaves a few blossoms through the instrument too!) 😍 #ashleyslaterphotography
Muted tones for another rainy morning...love the felt mansion and surrounding property for weddings!
What.A.Weird.Week this has been. School is wrapping up this week for my boys so we have lots going on. The garden needs to be completed but the weather has been so bizarre. One of our cars died so we’ve been car hunting and driving all over to look around. I’m gearing up for regular sessions to begin and wedding season to start... it seems like we’ve been waiting for summer to start for so long now! Anyways, just wanted to check in because I’ve missed my Instagram fam here! What’s going on in your lives?!
The spring blossoms are just pure beauty! If you need quick engagement photos, maternity, or family this will be the lowest pricing I shoot at! Link to sign up for Grand Rapids is in my profile! There are about 5 time slots remaining!!

I love this casual bride and groom look.... no updo, no bow ties or too many frills, but still so perfect. It’s so cool how little details can change the entire look and feel of a wedding day celebration. 👌🏻 #ashleyslaterphotography
One of my favorite centerpieces I’ve ever photographed by @amyosabaevents — doesn’t it just look like a painting, and the textures! 😍
It’s MAY! Michigan, we survived the winter. Now let’s just hope there is no more snow storm stragglers this month. This spot in Leland is a favorite and I can’t wait to get back to northern Michigan! #almostsummer #weddingseason #moresummer
Michigan. Summertime. Lakes. Weddings. 🙌🏻👌🏻 perfection! #ashleyslaterphotography #grandrapidsweddingphotographer #traversecitywedding
Today we have snow in our forecast and I have a cute one year olds birthday to shoot—this means I don’t have to sit shivering on the soccer fields but it also means that the garden plants need covering and the blossoms for mini sessions will likely be further delayed... so, I’m not thrilled about it! Thankfully it should melt by tomorrow and then we are hoping against hope that this marks the final snow of the spring here so we can get to more fun stuff...like summer bridal parties! #ashleyslaterweddings
