The fall color was in full force when I met up with Justin & Ariel for their engagement session! I absolutely love the fall season and even though it gets to be so hectic and crazy, I love every single moment of it. Any chance I get to be able to go out and shoot during the peak color is an absolute joy and this session was no exception.
I am already looking forward to their June wedding next year! Enjoy this preview from Justin & Ariel’s beautiful fall engagement session

I loved being able to capture my handsome little guy in the hospital
Hello World ❤️ Meet Gideon Jay Vanderwall
He was born yesterday morning at 8:01 AM via C Section, and shortly after he was born was taken to the NICU because of his oxygen levels. Today he is doing much better, he’s off the cpap machine and we just got word that he’s off his IV fluids as well. If his blood sugars stay stable, he will join us in our room until we all get discharged from the hospital.
I’m doing well also ❤️ Just doing my best to rest & heal when I can. This also means that I am officially on maternity leave! Not 100% sure how long I’ll be off, but I’ll be checking emails periodically for sure 🥰
His big sister Ella has not met him yet, but I can’t wait until she does ❤️
Thanks Dad for snapping these last minute maternity photos for us ❤️ I just wanted a quick photo to remember this time with, especially since @laura.vanderzwaag.hairstylist just did my hair so perfect ❤️
The year 2023 was full of the very best weddings ❤️
Elisabeth Marie photography had 22 weddings this year (20 of them photographed by me, and 2 of them were photographed by associates 🥰)
And not pictured in this reel but I also was an associate photographer for 2 other weddings AND I second shot 2 different weddings with @hayleehill_photo this year.
So overall I was involved with 26 weddings in 2023.
For each couple that chose me to photograph your wedding (and fellow photogs that trusted me to help you), from the bottom of my heart, thank you!!! ❤️
I know Instagram is going to be so full of 2023 recap videos today, but I hope you enjoy this one (and all the others shared). What a joy it is so looking forward to back at all the incredible memories made. Doing recap videos feels incredibly fulfilling overwhelming, and I put a lot of pressure on myself to do these things, but it really is so fulfilling to look back at the year and all it had to offer. To think back and remember each wedding day & the amazing clients I had the honor of working with.
I’m hoping to do a full 2023 year recap with allllll the families, seniors, newborns etc but that’s going to take a bit more time.
Thank you everyone for your continued support. It means the absolute world! 2023 was such a great year for the business and I am looking forward to what 2024 has to offer. Let’s celebrate 🎉❤️
Who is ordering pizza tonight for New Years Eve?! Do you have big plans for the night? Gathering with friends? Hanging with your significant other? A cozy night in with your favorite food & a book? I’d love to hear your plans!
Also, Sara’s pizza is open tonight in Hudsonville from 4-9 pm if you need an idea for dinner 🎉 I loved doing this photo of the newest member of the Sara’s pizza family this fall ❤️
