Kristy & AJ - Early American Wedding in Livonia

Kristy & AJ picked a unique location in Livonia, the city historical museum, to have their wedding. What a cool place to get married. They had a beautiful wedding in the museum chapel and then were surprised by a white horse and carriage to transport them around the village. The carriage and horse are provided by Ann Arbor Carriage http://www.annarborcarriage.com. Denise was our driver and gave us two enjoyable rides (one of the perks of being a wedding photographer). Kristy and AJ then were off to the Burton Manor for their reception and a fun time had by all.

Tarrah & Seth's Big Day

Tarrah & Seth finally made it official, after dating since high school, the two Lapeerian's (that's the name for someone from Lapeer, MI) finally made it official. The Roseville wedding and St. Clair Shores reception was an evening to remember for all. I had a chance to get some really nice moments with the bride and groom after the wedding.

Food Photography....I don't think Mike shoots food

Chalk this up to a fairly new experience. I've shot some food when I was in school and at wedding receptions, etc. My new client, Matt Prentice Restaurant Group, has asked me to photograph their venues, events and chef's creations. This was my first go around with the chef's creations part. I was pretty happy with the result, mainly because it was something new and because Chop House VI is a fairly dark restaurant and most of my food photography in the past had been done with natural light with some fill. Chef Jason was a blast to work with and the food (in between different plates to shoot) was wonderful. I'd highly recommend Chop House VI for a date night with someone special.

Kimberly & Howard Explore Cranbrook

I've done the dogs during the wedding day, but now I've officially done a dog at an e-session. Bella was the star for the first 15 minutes and then we entered Cranbrook thru a different entrance. Well I found a whole other area that is great to do pictures. Kim and Howard seemed to have fun exploring Cranbrook with me while I was shooting some really nice personal moments for them. Check back in a couple of weeks to see their really unique wedding and venue that is coming up on Aug. 1.

Jennifer & Joe - A long time coming

Jenni & Joe have been dating for years and they finally made it official. They had a beautiful wedding and reception at Sycamore Hills. The rain stayed away just long enough to get the outdoor wedding in and allow us to travel around the golf course and get some fun shots. Jenni and Joe, here's to a long life together.

Susan and David's Wedding

Susan and David are a super fun couple that had a beautiful wedding in Utica and then traveled to Cranbrook for some after wedding shots. I think we ended up with some truly nice shots of them at Cranbrook where they seemed totally at ease. Then off to Shelby Twp. and their reception. Their wedding party was a ton of fun also.
