Michigan Wedding Photographs – The Things I love

As I was reviewing images from the past year I came across “THOSE” moments. The moments that make doing what I do and the ability to perceive and capture those moments so rewarding. With two amazing daughters myself I have to admit I am probably more sensitive to the dynamics of the family bond. Those interactions and those fleeting moments that tell such an incredible story of such an important day.

One of my favorite moments is interacting with the bridal party and making the experience so much more enjoyable.

While I am not a fan of the head cut off photo's that have become popular this tells a story. The passion of the groom as he holds his new bride firmly as she responds.

It’s this perception, this passion and sensitivity to the human experience that allows me to develop such incredibly powerful images at each and every session.

Several years ago I put a post out on this blog that was entitled The most meaningful post I have ever made – as every year we realize the responsibility we hold in capturing such an important event in a way that is truly unique to us and you.

So it is with post that I want to thank everyone that has given us the opportunity to be such a meaningful part of your lives. Bonnie and I sincerely appreciate you!

COLD – Sunny – Beautiful. Such a great day for the a wedding and the clarity of the Sky was amazing. We had the opportunity for Alison Bates from Bates Photographic to work with.

We met up with Lisa at her house for details hair and makeup then headed to Tony’s house for the same – What’s up with G6 anyway.

Tony & Lisa did their first meeting at Quarton Park in Birmingham Michigan where we had some fun with the bridal party – Thanks to Tim and Adam. Off to The Academy of the Sacred Heart in Bloomfield Hills Michigan – an absolutely beautiful location for the a wedding. Following we headed to downtown Pontiac, Michigan for some fun photos and off to the Somerset Inn Troy Michigan for the Reception. The hall was absolutely beautifully decorated thanks to Lisa and her coordinators Jill at Simplicity Day of Event Coordinating. DJ’s were really great to work with but I forgot to get a card so as soon as I find out I will update here.

Shanan & John – Plymouth Michigan Wedding Photography / Videography

I had been looking forward to Shanan and John’s wedding ever since they met us in Traverse City / Bay Harbor following Kevin & Katie’s BayShore Resort beach side destination wedding back in July.

Shanan and John had selected us for all three of our services – Photography, Videography and the LuvShak Photobooth. It was so cool when I showed up at the prep location (one of Shanan’s bridesmaids homes) and she said straight off – I am so excited for the Same Day Edit. Immediately I thought this is so cool but the pressure is on. As luck would have it the day was absolutely beautiful, Shanan Stunning and John sexy as always (LOL).

As a side note the Same Day Edit almost did not occur. At the church I decided to charge the battery which was in the foyer area and totally forgot about it until I arrived at the reception sat down to do the SDE and remembered. I thanked my lucky stars that cleaning crew was in the church and let me in and had the computer – Thank you!
