  • About Us

    We love photographing weddings. The thoughtful look on a father’s face as he gives away his little girl, the beauty of a mother’s eyes welling up in the front row, the laughter, the tears, the sweet and tender moments of the day... we revel in it. We are Matt & Angie Smith, and we love photographing weddings.

    In exchange for inviting us to be a part of your special day, we will provide you with a collection of images that are emotive and honest, from the light-hearted to the dramatic, and sometimes even the unexpected.
    In short... the story of you.

Kristin & Mike. July 16th.

Mike & Kristin were such a wonderful couple to work with.  Fun-loving, energetic, and just so very happy together.  It was a beautiful wedding at the Cascade Falls in Jackson MI, a truly beautiful and unique setting.  Put it all together and you have the makings for some beautiful images.
Looking back at 2012, we had a ton of extreme weather weddings, and this one was no exception.  The heat index hovered around 98 degrees fahrenheit, with crazy humidity, literally we were sticking to the pavement in the park, and my tripod was sinking into the asphalt…  To say that this couple were good sports, is an understatement.  But, no matter how good of sport anyone may be, there are times when you can only do so much without being hindered by the elements.  After some very quick and creative bridal party shots, it was inevitable that everyone involved (no matter how good of sports) were ready to seek refuge in some air conditioning…  This is a perfect example of how a post couple session can come in handy.  It allowed us to focus on the bare necessities, so that the bride and groom could sneak a much needed break.  Most importantly, it kept their day enjoyable, as it should be.  As an added bonus, we were able to meet up again after the honeymoon, at a time when it wasn’t so crazy hot, and when we could take as much time as was needed to capture all of the fun creative stuff that we knew was important to our couple, but that they would have missed out on without the extra session.  WIN. WIN. WIN.
At any rate here’s some of our favorites from this beautiful wedding.  Stay tuned… We’ll post some shots from the post couple session later this week!

Chick Days. Week 4 & 5.

Holy cow!  These girls are growing fast!  The gals are starting to look like the miniature teen chicken versions of themselves.  The girls also, have officially outgrown there second brooder box, and have taken over Max’s old Dog Crate.  I know that it sounds small, but in remember that in his heyday Max weighed 180 lbs. and still had lots of room in this giant pet cage condo. They LOVE the new digs.  It seems to be serving as a bit of a playground for them too, as being that the cage has so many bars we were able to add lots of multi-level roosting spots.
Other news, Harper (our Doberman) has now met the girls.  After some guidance, and the “Those are not your chickens” talk, she seems to be doing pretty good with them.  However she has developed a habit of licking her lips whenever they are around each other for very long… We may have some work ahead of us.
