Monika and Brad's Big Day

Monika and Brad started their day in Rochester with a downpour on their way to the church...but by the time they were done at the St. Andrews Catholic Church, we had a beautiful day. They did things a little less traditional and spent a few hours at a pub and the Rochester Chop House before heading off to the reception at the Roostertail in Detroit. What a beautiful night on the river!!! A super fun couple and a nice wedding.

Courtney & Ray Wedding 7/5/08 - Toledo

Courtney and Ray did it at the Zoo...ok, they had their reception at the Toledo Zoo and their wedding at the newly renovated St. Patrick's Historic Church in Toledo...what a beautiful place. Courtney and Ray win the award for the tallest bride & groom I've photographed. Courtney was a Villanova women's basketball player in college and I think Ray has probably played his share of basketball. The reception at the Toledo Zoo was very cool and unique and a venue I'll never forget.

Buick Open 2008 - Grand Blanc

What a beautiful day for the final round of the 2008 Buick Open. Tiger was supposed to be there, but the crowds were still good. Kenny Perry finished strong to win his second Buick Open over Woody Austin and Bubba O'Hara.

Laura and Frank's Wedding Caribbean Style

It was the Caribbean in Michigan. Some of these pictures could almost convince you. The Harrison Twp. restaurant hosting the wedding/reception provided a great place for a beach styled wedding....complete with a sand castle. Laura and Frank headed back to NC and then St. Lucia to start their lives together. What a fun couple.

Tonya & Freddy Reception 6_21_08

Tonya and Freddy got married in Las Vegas a week earlier, but came back to Michigan to celebrate with their family and friends. The rain held off so we could get some really nice pictures in a St. Clair Shores park. The reception was beautiful and provided a great place for some more pictures. Best wishes.

NASCAR - Lifelock 400 @ MIS

Something totally new for me...NASCAR. For those of you that know me, you know I'm not a NASCAR fan at all and think it's kind of a silly "sport". But, when you are a sports photographer, you have to experience it all. This was actually kind of fun. I spent most of my time in the pits area and turn 4, so I guess I'll have to go back again and experience the outer edge of the track. This was a good first experience.

Brittany & Josh - Grand Rapids

Brittany and Josh Edds were married at the Fountain Street Church in Grand Rapids. Both the bride and groom are Army officers who met at Westpoint. What a fun day and a fun couple. Fountain Street Church was an amazing old church that has been maintained perfectly. We did the photo walk at the Gerald R. Ford Museum on the banks of the Grand River. The reception took place at the classic hotel Amway Grand, what an exquisite place that is. We ended up with some really great pictures.
