Mary-Kate + Ryan // Grand Rapids, Michigan

If we had to pinpoint one mission or goal that we have for JMH Photography it would be building genuine relationships with the clients that we serve while capturing who they are and precious memories in their photos.     We have had the pleasure of shooting almost 150 weddings, countless family and newborn sessions where we have made great friends and got to know lots of different families along the way.  But we must say, there is one family that kind of takes the cake.

We met the Lietz Family over 5 years ago when we met Mary-Kate’s sister Jelena at another one of our clients weddings.  Two years later we had the opportunity to photograph Jelenas wedding.  Jelena and Mary-Kate come from a family 10, fast forward 3 years later and we have had the opportunity to shoot multiple family weddings, newborn photos, family photos, and even weddings of some of their friends as well. 

Not only are we beyond thankful for the friendships and business that their family has brought to us but we are honored and blessed to have had the opportunity to experience so much life, laughter, tears, and joy along side of them.  To say that they have an unbreakable bond is an understatement and they treat us like we are a part of their family each and every time we are with them.  We are not the only people that can speak to their incredible kindness, even the musician’s from Mary-Kates wedding this past weekend could not stop talking about how welcoming, friendly, and sincere their whole family is.

Mary-Kate and Ryans wedding was nothing short of perfect.  It’s amazing how the two of them just seem to light up when they are together.  The one thing that I will take away from the day is just how much love and support these two have from all of the people around them.  I cannot wait to see where the future takes these two, and I am excited to see this family continue to grow over the years to come.  To Mary-Kate and Ryan: Thank you for letting me document your wedding day, it was one to remember.
