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.

SNEAK PEAK: Jodi + Jason // wedding photos

Here’s a couple photos from Jodi and Jason’s wedding yesterday! Ceremony was at Kensington Church in Troy, Michigan (they have a cafe in this church!) and the reception at Partridge Creek Italian American Cultural Center in Clinton Township, MI.

This next one was shot by Jesse Green. So useful to have a 2nd photographer around, especially for the pre-ceremony stuff when the girls and guys are separated. Thanks Jesse!

Jodi’s garter she picked out for Jason who was in the Marines:

The “Square Pegz” rocked the reception with their hip 80′s covers. Love this pic with the bride! ->

Sneak Peak: Andy + Bree’s Wedding Photos!

What a pleasure it was to work for Bree and Andrew on their wedding day. I loved all the details, from the bouquet [photo above] made by the mother of bride, to all the thought that went into the reception decorations (the centerpieces, candy buffett, memories table, etc). Everything was gorgeous! Here are a few photos from their day ->

The party at Arnaldo’s in Riverview, Michigan was a blast. Everyone got their boogie on to an eighties cover band called “Riot House“. Bree’s brother even rocked the drums for a song or two ->

Congratulations Bree and Andy!

Did lots of experimenting with different lighting setups at Dan and Jenni’s wedding. I’m still looking for that perfect reception lighting setup…..but I did learn what happens when you fire a flash directly at a disco ball!

Juliana and David’s Wedding Photos – A Preview

So writing this blog has suddenly gotten harder for some reason. Maybe its because I’ve been blessed lately with AMAZING clients. For me at least, my editing workflow is: 1) Photograph wedding 2) Download, backup and import all photos into the computer 3) Go through and select a “few” favorites for blog/client preview. 4) Edit just those favorites and upload to blog 5) Process the rest of the photos. My problem? Stage 3. A “few” favorites, lately has become like 156. As was the case with David and Juliana’s wedding. They had both their Ceremony and Reception at the Grecian Center in Southgate, Michigan. The grounds hiding behind the Grecian center are incredibly PERFECT for photographs. Add to that, David and Juliana who are so cute together and great at posing for the camera, not to mention totally open to all of our crazy ideas, and the result – too many photos to choose from! This is a good problem to have. :) Here are just a few from their wedding day:

Admit it, David looks like a total bad ass in the following photo. I looooove this photo. Unfortunately, I can’t take complete credit for it. Platinum Mix did the photography and video, and Eric, the videographer set this shot up. I actually shot this kind of on a side angle while he did his thing with video. Can’t wait to see how his video version came out!

I don’t think the woman in the next photo spoke any english, but she was one of my favorite characters of the day. Every time I pointed the camera at her, she gave me the nicest smile. She just seemed like the sweetest woman of all time.

In retrospect, I wish I would have taken the following photo just a few feet further back so I could have gotten the whole car in the photo. Still, i love the church in the background with the classic car in front.

Congratulations David and Juliana!!!

1 late photographer + 1 broken finger = Erica + Charles Engagement Photo Session!

I’ve been looking forward to photographing Erica and Charles since I met with them a few months back to talk about their wedding.   They had so many great ideas, not too mention just seemed like they were going to be a really fun couple.   An email sent late at night (my fault), and a wrong phone number (my fault again) resulted in me being 1 hour late for the photo shoot.  I felt soooo bad, I’m seriously never late, and I felt worse given that Erica and Charles wanted to go to two locations for their photos.   With the late start, we only had time for one.  (Sorry Charles and Erica!!  I’ll fit you in another day if you’re up for it!).   Once we did get started with the photos,  the very creative groom-to-be Charles, had the awesome idea of climbing on a rock for a quick photo.   Got the photo, but on the way down, Charles landed on some ice and did some painful damage to his finger (ouch!).    Not sure if he dislocated it, sprained it or broke it, but either way, Charles was in some serious pain.    I thought that was it.  Game over.  But nope, Charles insisted he was fine and wanted to finish the photos.    Now most people would have been cranky and pretty annoyed at this point but Charles and Erica are so easy-going and cool, that I had a blast taking their photos.  They laughed, joked around, and came up with some great ideas.   It was truly a pleasure to photograph them.    Here are a few from their session:

my first blog post

Yay! I have a blog! Woot! :)

It’s always been my goal to have at least a preview gallery posted online by the time my wedding clients get back from their honeymoon. So far, I’ve pretty much been able to do that, but this August is sooooo crazy busy and I confess that I am a little bit behind in my photo-editing work. The next couple months will continue to stay busy and at the rate I’m booking weddings for next year, I might need to set a more realistic goal for getting my clients their wedding photos. So, enter the new blog…… the plan is to post a few photos from every wedding here for client previews, which I’m thinking will be easier and much faster than going through an entire wedding day’s worth of photos.

So, to kick off my new blog:::

Amy and Andrew were married last Saturday, August 16th. Great couple, really easy-going and fun to hang out with all day. They were married in a gorgeous church located in Ida, Michigan. Here’s a few from their wedding……

Congratulations Amy & Drew!!!!
