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
In an effort to reduce the calories I consume without thought, my coffee these days is looking less like c3 and more like an e5. 🙄 On the bright side, it’s been a little stronger so I’ve been busting out summer travel schedules and bookings like a champ. Seeing all this green start to pop up outside has me ready for open window days and the smell of fresh cut grass punctuated by lots of evening trips for drippy ice cream cones! 🍦📷@delish
Happy Easter from all of us! We tried to get some good pictures but you know how that goes! The last photo is more real life...me trying to get the boys to stand still and smile! But it doesn’t matter, we are celebrating the fact that Jesus has risen and we have the hope of salvation because of him this Easter Sunday! Hope everyone has a great day!! {dress can be found here for those asking: http://bit.ly/2lztSSt
Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe. Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow. #itisfinished BUT #sundayiscoming #heisrisen
Cheers for FRIDAY! We made it through this busy Easter week and my heart is happy because Michigan is promising us a sunny, 70 degree Easter Sunday! I’ll be celebrating just like this bride and groom 😉 #ashleyslaterweddings
Is it wedding season yet?! Asking for... me. Because I am so ready! Also, this day was so rainy hence my wet hair but the clouds cleared and we got our bride and groom out for some really awesome shots in a blooming apple orchard and in front of this vintage camper! #ashleyslaterweddings #westmichiganwedding #grandrapidsweddingphotographer #bridalportraits #filmphotographer #michiganweddingphotographer
Dreaming of summer days and weddings all over beautiful Michigan! This barn is one of my favorites and I finally got to work there last summer and love it even more now!
I had the most wonderful time shooting in studio Easter mini sessions for some over the top adorable kids last week! Here are just a handful of my favorites! I have another round of outdoor spring blossom minis coming up (as soon as this snow goes away and spring really decides to come!) so comment with your email below if you want on the list to find out when I announce the dates! #icantbelievewehavesnowontheground #whymichiganwhy
