Leah & Kenny I Engaged

Kerri Banyas — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 03:10:15 +0000

I come from a HUGE family….and they all happen to be hotties (yeah, I went there! )…its genetic…we just can’t help it.

Naturally I was super excited when one of my most favorite cutie pie cousins was planning her wedding and asked lil’ ol’ me to capture their big day….Leah and I used to climb apple trees together, hang out on the railroad tracks next to grandma’s house, play on the tire swing and giggle late into the night at our “grandma pajama” parties….and she was even in my wedding. I am so excited that she found such an amazing guy to spend her life with! Kenny is perfect for her…and of course it helps that he is a hottie too (; I had so much fun shooting their engagement session and I can’t wait for their wedding in only a few weeks!

Here’s a sneak peek of some of my faves

I knew Emily and Andrew were going to be AMAZING when they found me on facebook and told me they were friends with Kyle & Sarah (remember the record store shoot?)…and I was even more excited when they said they were going to be bringing their adorable little doggie Chanel! She was so precious…I could take pictures of her all day! It was so fun to hang out with them and I LOVE what we came up with….proceed with caution….this post is eye candy city!

Enjoy!!

Emily’s one request was that they have a couple of shots listening to music like they do at home together LOVE

Kim & Jeremy :: Grand Rapids, MI Wedding

Kerri Banyas — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 03:08:33 +0000

After exchanging emails, I met Kim & Jeremy in a local coffee shop to chat about wedding plans, and we hit it off instantly. I LOVED their story….they actually had already been married for about a year, but they still wanted the ceremony, white dress and all, to celebrate with all of their loved ones. 2 hours and a couple of lattes later, I knew they were truly one of the sweetest couples I had ever met & I couldn’t wait to shoot their wedding!

Kim and Jeremy were married in a beautiful outdoor ceremony among the pine trees in their own gorgeous back-yard surrounded by a few of their closest friends and family. After the ceremony, we headed downtown Grand Rapids for some fun shots and then off to their amazing cocktail party reception at Eve Lounge . Everything was absolutely perfect! I am truly honored to have been able to be such an important part of their day!
