I’ve known Jennifer’s mom for a while now and when it came time for her daughter to get married, she said she’d love have me photograph the wedding… but it was all the way in Seattle. To which I replied… “Um, I’m there!” Seattle is one of my favorite places in the world… this was my third time there, and definitely not the last. It was a fantastic trip… beautiful, uncharacteristically sunny and wonderful. I spent a few extra days with dear friend and ventured out to the Olympic Peninsula for solo road trip. (yes, I went to Forks… me–>dork) but it was beautiful and much needed! A tour of the city via duck boat with the wedding party and guests, beautiful Sunday wedding, sneaking in a senior session for my cousin’s daughter, shopping and dinner with a great friend, seeing the snow capped Olympic mountains, putting my toes in the Pacific, lavender fields and gorgeous scenery made for a wonderful trip.
But seriously… this bride was stunning… a classic beauty… they had their ceremony and reception at the very cool Lake Union Cafe. It was an intimate setting and the love and laughter was a constant presence. It was an honor to get to know and photograph Jennifer and Mike– these two were made for each other and seeing the emotion on their faces the entire day was such a joy… Enjoy the photographs!
{So I noticed as I was uploading these that my blogging action broke– please ignore the black bars on bottom of some of the pics– will get that fixed asap!}
Thanks again Rox, Jennifer and Mike– it was a joy to share your day with you!!

Be prepared. This blog post is quite epic. Biggest one ever.
Where to start? I met Katie and Justin and immediately adored them- such a wonderful and natural couple- they complimented each other so well- it’s just a great feeling to see a couple so in sync, so in love. I had a blast with them and it’s still one of my favorite engagement sessions — they have a love for Detroit- we did their session there and the reception was downtown as well.
The day was hot- the sun was shining and the day was incredible. The wedding planning was done by the fantastic Jen House of A Moment in Time , she also did the flowers which looked straight out of a Martha Stewart magazine. The reception was at the Colony Club downtown Detroit. The awesome Mike Staff Productions did the dj services as well as the videography. I was honored to have the phenomenal Dustin Francis second shoot with me– he’s just fantastic and we had a great time.
On to the pictures– longest. post. ever. But I have to say, I’m pretty damn proud of these pics… Enjoy!
My most favorite first look ever!! Brides to be take note– first looks are wonderful!
Just love these next ones!
Whew…. that was fun, wasn’t it? Thank you so much Katie and Justin for letting me capture your day! Enjoy your weekend everyone- Seattle wedding is up next! If you like what you saw, leave me some love in the comments!

I had the pleasure of photographing Corey and Danny’s wedding this June and holy cow– what an awesome event! The thought and details that were put into planning their day were fantastic— the details, the friends, the love… They had help putting it all together with the fabulous Ana of TwoFoot Creative, I always love working with her! I brought along Kate Elliot to second shoot with me and we had so much fun. She’s a fantastic photographer and her style is just like mine- we had a blast! The wedding was in Clinton Township and the reception was at the beautiful Villa Penna in Sterling Heights. The DJ was the always awesome Mike Staff Productions. They keep the dance floor packed and do a fantastic job. The Tiffany themed wedding was full of wonderful details, from the blues to peacock feathers to the rocking blue heels she wore… I had a great time, Corey and Danny! Enjoy the pics!
The shoes… oh the shoes….
She gave her father the sweetest note with very cool cuff links… tears…
This was a photo request from Corey, there is a similar picture from her mom’s wedding…
I loved stopping outside the Tin Fish to grab some water shots!
She’s just stunning….
The details…. again… amazing…
Corey first met Danny by ‘introducing” herself to him, by grabbing his bum… I loved her tribute to him on the cake topper!
Thank you for letting me share your day with you! If you liked what you saw, leave me some love in the comment section!
