Katie & Andy's Weird Wedding Day.







I doubt I have enough blog space to tell everyone what kind of strange stuff happened at Katie & Andy's wedding. At the end of the day, they were married, had a beautiful ceremony and reception and will end up with a day they'll never forget. We had a great time taking some great pictures around Ann Arbor between the wedding and reception. It's definitely a wedding I'll never forget, because the bride and groom are great people...and all of the strange things that happened at their wedding.

Shannon & Erik's e-session







Shannon & Erik have been waiting all winter to get this done. Our original session was scheduled in October, and it's snowed that day, so we rescheduled for the end of May. When we showed up at George George Park, it was raining, but it ended up being a beautiful evening and we ended up with some great shots. Looking forward to your Sept. wedding Shannon & Erik.

Stephanie & Scott - Tango in Paradise









Stephanie and Scott told me they were going to take dance lessons when I met with them 6-8 months ago. Did they, and they surprised the crowd with a first dance in the form of a tango...which they performed flawlessly. What a fun couple and wedding party. Glen Oaks was a great place for an outdoor wedding and beautiful reception. Best of luck with your lives in Seattle.

Bethany & Drew - Southfield Westin Atrium











Bethany and Drew definitely picked a unique place to have their wedding ceremony and reception. The Atrium of the Westin in Southfield was beautiful on a Friday evening. One minute you felt like you were in Michigan and the next a tropical rainforest. Drew and Bethany make a great couple and seem to have a lot of fun together. Best of luck.

Jammie & Larry - Birmingham's Finest











Jammie & Larry were married at the Birmingham Community House in a very beautiful outdoor ceremony (ok in a tent, because it's Michigan). This was a really nice ceremony with a very large wedding party to boot. This group was a lot of fun, both guys and gals. Best of luck Jammie and Larry.

Priscilla & Danny a Macedonian Wedding







This was a first for me. I had the chance to shoot a Macedonian Orthodox wedding as a second/first shooter. These weddings are 18 hour marathons, so I shot the second half of the marathon, covering the ceremony and reception. This was definitely a ceremony that contained a lot of rituals and traditions brought from the former Yugoslavia. Pricilla and Danny were a great couple who enjoyed the culture and traditions...and a good party.

Michelle & Chuck Got Married













I'd heard about this wedding and all it's plans for a long time, since Michelle is a co-worker with my son. This was a refreshingly elegant wedding. Kensington Church's chapel provided for some really nice images and then a rush thru Meadowbrook Hall's gardens and then on to Oakland Center for the reception. All done in a fun Japanese / American style.
