Sneak Peak // Tom + Amy’s Wedding

Platinum Mix Wedding Photography Detroit

Oh, what fun we had photographing Tom and Amy’s wedding. “we”, referring to myself plus the newest Platinum Mix recruit, Rob Lewis. I met Rob a few months ago while I was DJing. Rob was the photographer. We got to talking and I thought Rob had the perfect personality to be a great DJ. He said he was interested. I gave him my card, but didn’t think he was really gonna call. He did. We are working on teaching him how to DJ, but in the meantime, the guy is a fantastic photographer. Amy and Tom had 2 photographers booked, so I thought it the perfect opportunity to bring out Rob. Here’s a few of the resulting images.

I started out the day at Amy’s parent’s beautiful home out in Milford, while Rob hung out with Tom at the Holiday Inn in Livonia where he was getting ready.

The ceremony was held at Our Lady of Victory in Northville, Michigan.

Amy’s Uncle drew this caricature for the back of the limo:

Looks like the real party was on the limo bus….. Love this next series of images all captured by Rob who got to ride on the party bus with the bridal party.

St. Mary’s Cultural Center hosted the reception, and what a party it was. Memorable moments include a good ‘ole fashioned cake fight, lots of energetic dancing, mom plus her siblings serenading the bride with their very fun coordinated mega mix, the groom and his homies rocking the backstreet boys, and The Hora (no, they are not Jewish, but I don’t see anything wrong with incorporating an awesome tradition). :)

SNEAK PEAK // Melvin + Katie’s Wedding

Here’s a few of the photos from Melvin and Katie’s wedding –>

I started the day out with Katie and the bridesmaids at their hotel. Evis and Eric were both with me as well to shoot video, but since we didn’t have a whole lot of time to get a little of Melvin too, then Evis stepped in and shot both video plus a few stills over at Melvin and Katie’s house.

After the ceremony, we headed out to the country to get some photos. I was following the party bus in my big white work van when I attempted to bust a U on a dirt road and found myself totally stuck in a muddy ditch. Oops. Number 1 priority was to get photos for Katie and Melvin, so I focused on taking the following photos, all the while thinking about how the heck I was gonna get my darn van outta that ditch.

Thankfully, the groomsmen took over the stuck van situation and called in the father of the groom who just happened to have a spare tractor around to pull me out. Crises adverted. Props to Katie and Melvin who remained remarkably calm during the whole ordeal. :) Eric, of course, took video while all this was going down:



So on we went to the reception. Held at Tina’s Country House in Macomb, Michigan.

A double engagement photo session at the botanical gardens!

Felisha, Keri, AJ and Richard are all friends. Keri and Richard are getting married May 27th and Felisha and AJ will be tying the knot Oct. 1st. Platinum Mix is providing the photographers for both couples, and so we set-up a double engagement session. Myself and Jesse Green headed out to Matthaei Botanical Gardens in Ann Arbor for the shoot. Felisha and AJ are having their wedding ceremony there, and if you’re looking for a ceremony location, I’d highly recommend it. Its a beautiful spot which really provides for endless photo opportunities. On to the photographs.

This first set is Felisha and AJ and all shot by Jesse David Green –>
