Sara Michele Photography

I’ll start out with one of my faves I snapped of Megan when she wasn’t paying attention

And one of Chris when he was paying attention:

Chris and Megan had their ceremony at St. George Lutheran Church in Brighton, Michigan and their reception was only a few miles away at Crystal Gardens in Howell. I got there a few hours before their ceremony to start the pictures:

St. George’s was great about letting me roam about during the ceremony! The priest is a shutterbug himself so he was totally cool with whatever it took to get a solid shot (except flash – but hey, who needs flash anymore anyways?)

Chris is a fireman so they thought it would be cool to go to the fire station for photos. Awesome! I had lots of ideas planned for this, but we ran out of time with the limo so this had to turn into the QUICKEST photo session of all time: 8 minutes. That’s the hardest thing about wedding photography (for me at least). 8 minutes to pick a scene, figure out a pose, get a bridal party into position, and adjust exposure. And that’s just for 1 photo…..

The cake cutting started out innocently enough:

But then an all out battle erupted!!!

No telling who won this fight…but I will say that I think Chris was covered in a little more cake. President Tuxedo called Megan 15 minutes before her ceremony to see if she wanted to rent tuxes. They were a little late with that call but little do they know they were probably better off, unless of course they enjoy scrubbing frosting off tux jackets!

The parents:

This next one is the very last photo I took that day and it turned out to be one of my favorites. Megan’s idea. Although, I have a feeling I didn’t get anywhere near the photo that she had envisioned, but I hope she likes this one too!

Great day it was! Congrats Chris and Megan!
