Megan & Matt Engagement

10.12.2008

I had a blast getting to know Meagan & Matt on their engagement shoot! Megan is so real and full of personality and her smile is bigger than life. Matt is sweet and loving and so taken with that smile of hers. Together they are the perfect and I am the fortunate one to shoot their wedding next June! Here they are...too cute! ;)

Michelle & Blake Wedding

8.23.2008

Private Residence

Perfect in every way..from the natural floral arrangements that adorned the tables to the enormous white tent placed alongside a vegetable garden. Michelle and Blake exchanged vows on a dock alongside a river as guests watched below in white chairs on the sprawling grounds. Perfect in every way...the love that they share was witnessed by their closest friends and family and tears of joy flowed as they became husband and wife at last. A dream wedding it was and I was honored to be chosen as their photographer. I wish you guys the best as you start your lives together!

Lorraine & David Engagement

Lorraine and David became engaged on August 4, 2008, in Ann Arbor, MI. David took Lorraine out for a fantastic dinner at Mediterrano restaurant, and later that night he proposed beneath the stars as they walked their dog, Molly. I shot their engagement session at Nichols Arboretum in Ann Arbor and it was truly a beautiful night! Molly accompanied us and made her way into a few pictures-how could I resist that sweet face?!!

Christina & Dan Wedding

Troy Marriott

Christina and Dan met at work in 1999. Christina was so shy that she actually had a friend approach Dan to let him know she had a crush on him. As fate would have it, Christina locked her keys in her car one day and while waiting for help ran into Dan in the hallway. They started talking and the rest is history! 7 years later on her 27th birthday Dan asked her to marry him.

It was a beautiful wedding and I was honored to be their photographer. Congrats you guys-I wish you a lifetime of love, smiles, and togetherness.

Stacey & David Wedding

Private Residence
Sweltering heat, humidity and rain showers-we battled it all on Stacey and David's wedding day but it was still an unforgettable celebration! David's grandparents hosted the ceremony on their property and when I drove up I couldn't believe my eyes-a photographer's dream setting!
The ceremony took place on an island surrounded by old oak trees and wild flowers near a beautiful gazebo covered with Ivy. Stacey looked absolutely gorgeous as she was escorted over the bridge by her father and David couldn't take his eyes off her. They giggled as they recited their vows in the rain. They say rain is a sign of good things to come-I think they are off to a good start! ;)

Copper & Pink

How would you make pink work for a fall wedding?

The designers over at http://www.snippetandink.blogspot.com/ have answered that question by putting together the most beautiful inspiration board!

Board #269: Copper & Pink
There's no reason pink has to be set aside for fall weddings; just pair it with a more typical fall color. Here I've used copper, and the pink almost ends up being more of an accent color, which I think works. Also, this color combination is a nice twist on the ubiquitous pink and brown, with copper's ruddy metallic patina lending more complexity than a flat chocolate. How would you make pink work for a fall wedding?
