Michigan Intimate Fall Wedding | Felicia + Kyle | Kendra Denault Photography

Simplicity: a thing that is plain, natural, or easy to understand. Just like the marriage between Felicia and Kyle. They didn’t need a big fancy venue to get hitched, just a patch of trees in a backyard to exchange their vows under. The morning started off with their ceremony and shortly after, lunch followed. Almost everything […]

Grand Rapids Public Museum Wedding | Laura + Rob | Kendra Denault Photography

  Sometimes a love story isn’t just between two people, but instead three (or four, or five). In Rob and Laura’s case, there was Delan – a smart and sweet 8 year old who was ready to see his mom marry the love of her life. As Laura walked down the aisle, he was just as nervous […]

The same lighthouse Joey looks at every day while he works as a Coast Guardsman. The weather for this session was […]

Apples + Blue Skies | The Klahn Family | Kendra Denault Photography

Earlier this month I got to spend the evening picking apples with the Klahn family south of town and had so much fun. This session was the best of both worlds – summer coming to an end, but the best part of fall sneaking in. Their girls, Finley and Rueney, are adventurers at heart. They ran […]
