I was really excited to shoot Karen’s wedding. Karen and I met years ago when we both worked for a publishing company in Troy. After I left we kept in touch, and she thought of me when it came time to pick a wedding photographer. When we met for lunch and she asked me to shoot her wedding I was so excited. I knew that the wedding would be beautiful, and Karen would be gorgeous—and I was not disappointed. What truly blew me away was how wonderful her new husband is. Brian is truly a warm genuine person, and it was really great spending the day with him. Karen and Brian were married at the National Shrine of the Little Flower in Royal Oak and their reception was held at Great Oaks Country Club in Rochester. Between the ceremony and reception they rented Meadow Brook Gardens for their formal pictures, it’s a beautiful spot! We also had a chance to work with RoseMary, their videoagrapher, again. She is so easy to work with and has such creative ideas.
Having two weddings in one weekend is always hard, by the second day we are so tired and worn out. But with Will & Kate on Friday and Brian & Karen on Saturday it made the days go by so quick. It’s like we were hanging out with friends, and just happened to be taking pictures as well.

I met Will and Katie last winter and liked them both immediately. We had a great initial consultation and I was really happy when they choose us to shoot their wedding. It was a tight schedule that day which would have stressed most brides out, but Katie and Will were AWESOME! They enjoyed every moment of the running around we did ; ) I can’t say enough what wonderful, warm people they are, and how much Jayson and I enjoyed the day. Their ceremony was held in Ann Arbor and the reception in Farmington Hills. After the ceremony we planned to go the the law quad on U of M’s campus as both Will and Katie are U of M grads. Before we did this we took a few moments to shoot some right outside the church and I am so glad we did, those are some of my favorite pictures of the summer! In my opinion the bright, cheerful freshness of the sky and grass really reflect their personalities even more than the charm of the law quad.

Greg and Tracey had both their ceremony and reception at the historic Gem Theatre in downtown Detroit. The venue is absolutely beautiful, and Tracey and Greg’s wedding was perfect for it. One of the many things I loved about this wedding was the formality of the venue mixed with all of the whimsical touches that Tracey and Greg included. From the invitations to her shoes Tracey has a way of really bringing everything together, the wedding was fun and exciting while still managing to be formal and elegant. It was a beautiful evening and I’m so happy that we could capture all the details.
