well its only 2 weeks later but now is always better than never. the weekend i shot jay+lori's wedding tanya and i drove up to bay harbor to see my niece. she is working at the inn at bay harbor for the summer until she goes back to college. which i think is like in a week. so here are some beautiful+fun+silly pictures i took while there. it will start with leah, my niece as you will see she totally didnt want her picture taken, then you will see tanya in the distance and of course the silly one of me trying to be sexy. that one never works out. we saw this dude getting ready to wind surf so i had to get some shots of that, he was really cool and is a photographer as well. he shoots for a wind surfing magazine. go figure. the remaining pics are of bay harbor itself and ends with the sun way+way+way before sunset.

i hope you enjoy+laugh

the journey we are all on takes us to different places at different times. the important thing is to see.love.share.care.be.express.recognize.experience endure.capture.taste.smell.touch.and feel, not just feel but feel deeply as deeply as possible. the world is yours. take it. be it and truely experience it. pain hurts but its always a good sign that you are alive and that you can and are able to feel. while journying to nowhere land this weekend i think i was able to do all the above. very few things go the way i would like them to but one thing this past weekend  went my way...

...i was able to capture a little beauty...

i want to share some of that beauty with you

enjoy...

i cant even begin to tell you how beautiful this couple is.  jay+lori are very special to me. i feel like we instantly clicked the first time we met. we had a great engagement session back in march. i was so excited to be a part of their wedding it seemed like august would never get here! finally it arrived and my assistant and i drove 3 hours north to shoot their wedding. it is an unbelievable place, black star farms. i highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for casual elegance. the book is a day late but finally it is ready for you to see. i hope you enjoy!

families

__________________________________________________

we are gearing up for our annual "celebrate the family month" here at photos by anton. during the month of September we are discounting our family packages by 20% and donating an extra 10% to First Priority Of Muskegon. You are able to forego your discount and donate the 20% to them and receive a tax deduction as well. HOW FAB IS THAT.

you can find info about first priority by clicking this link

http://www.fpoa.org/content.asp?page=2&id=93

here are what very important business leaders are saying about first priority

Business Leaders
In all my years of working with young men and women I believe First Priority is the most effective tool I have ever seen.  It equips teens to reach their peers.  Now that's a novel idea...positive peer pressure with eternal consequences.  I say that to be part of a winning team you need to run, not walk to get involved in First Priority.
Pat Williams, Sr. Vice President, Orlando Magic

I believe in the ministry and in the leadership of First Priority.  I want to encourage you to support First Priority and to get involved.
Dan Cathy, CEO. Chic-fill-A, GA

this is a positive impact group that leaves a positive impact on our youth...our future..

 

Sign up for my monthly newsletter above to read all about First Priority and the people who run it. I am placing a calendar below of September and will repost it once a week so you can view the availability or you can call the studio at 231.780.5010 to schedule your session.

enter your email address above to receive the newsletter, its really cool and will have tips for brides and the avid photographer along with savings coupons. Take advantage of this special savings as it only comes 1 time a year and is really a super deal!

we have 6 sessions scheduled already which means only 24 left
