jason and dana's wedding is this sunday - so we realized we'd better get crackin' with an engagement session!  we met up last week for a fun shoot in Ann Arbor.  Some favorites:




there's something so fun and quirky about this next series!

thanks dana and jason!  see you guys soon!

just a quick note to let everyone know i'll be out of the studio for a few days.  headed to the west side of the state for an awesome wedding - wahoo!  tommy and I are extending our stay for a couple of days to enjoy some sun and beach time.  I'll have access to email and phone, but no promises as to how responsive i'll be ;-)

And because, what's a blog entry without a picture, here's a little something pretty to look at - close-up of the flowers on our porch after yesterdays crazy storm  :-)

have a great weekend!

adam and melissa were married in ann arbor last weekend, and we couldn't have asked for a nicer day. 

Ceremony at Zion Lutheran - loves me some bright blue skies!
beautiful bride



handsome groom
hanging with the guys before the ceremony...


as soon as I saw this cutie flower girl, I knew I was going to take way too many photos of her!



I loved the colors at this wedding - the purple bouquets really popped against the bright green!
some portraits with the newlyweds



reception @ barton hills


melissa shared a sweet dance with her mom

tommy took this crazy picture of me at some point - I think it was actually a mistake - but it's kind of cool! (even if I look pissed) ;-)

good times on the dancefloor


congratulations adam and melissa!

Check out these hysterical sites!

awkward family photos
regrettable tattoos

And here's an awesome video, just because: Flaming Lips with Stardeath and White Dwarfs - Borderline

You may now return to your regularly scheduled wednesday evening ;-)

what an amazing afternoon this was!  when agatha mentioned she'd like some photos at her bridal shower, I had no idea that by 'shower', she really meant 'mini wedding' ;-) Everything was just superb - the flowers, the food, her dress - and don't get me started on the gifts!  It was a lovely afternoon - and I can't wait to see what you guys pull off for the actual wedding!

Here's some of the gorgeous details:


The Canvas print from their engagement session came out awesome and made such a great display

Agatha looked like a total supermodel

brett and marissa's wedding last weekend was a total blast.  here's some of my favorites from the day:

hair and makeup done at Tricho @ twelve oaks. 

LOVED her sparkly swarovski headband!  so pretty!

GORGEOUS




AWWWW!  cute moment with mom ;-)

Ceremony @ St. Johns


One of the highlights of the day - a butterfly release!  I couldn't believe how well these butterflies 'cooperated' ;-) - made for some awesome photos!




good times on the limo

marissa and her girls

What a good-lookin' couple!  I don't see guys in white too often - but brett totally pulled off ;-)




this might be my favorite

Reception was held at Walnut Creek Country Club - great spot! 


Brett's brother brought the house down with a hysterical toast



love the dancefloor at walnut creek!


Congratulations marissa and brett!  hope you had a fantastic day and are enjoying the honeymoon!

david and ashley were married at Meadowbrook a couple of weeks ago, and i'm so excited to share some images from their amazing day!

i spent the first part of the morning with ashley and the girls while they got ready at the hyatt place in auburn hills

some pretty details

a few favorites from liz and ryan's wedding last weekend...

playing around with a new embed feature on my blog.  it doesn't allow for as much commentary, but it loads a lot faster!  Just double-click the big image to view in full-screen, or use your spacebar to navigate image-to-image.

Enjoy! 

I'm so excited to finally share some of these images!  feels like I've been waiting forever (even though it's only been a couple of weeks, LOL - i'm usually such a speedy blogger).

Anyhow - here's a super-sized sneak peak from jen + peter's wonderful wedding last month:

I started off the day hanging with Jen and her girls at Etc Salon in lansing


this card totally cracks me up - it is so jen and peter!


Corinne @ Sebesta Design did an amazing job with the flowers - you can never go wrong with red roses!

some of my favorite wedding imagery winds up being abstract stuff like this - lines, light, veils, silhouettes...i can't get enough!




love this shot of Peter with some of the guys:

I am so excited for this wedding later in the summer!  sam and agatha are a great couple, and we had a blast shooting around downtown ann arbor.  i love it when a couple is really into their session - sam and agatha came prepared with cute outfit changes and everything!

here's some of my favories:
