Kristen and Brandon are a lovely couple - and the story of how they met is just adorable. Brandon was close friends with Kristen's older brother growing up - and always had a crush on her. Kristen famously told him she was "out of his league". Well, they reconnected years later in Chicago, and romance bloomed ;-) Tommy and I had a great time photographing their wedding earlier this month!
Kristen rocked a beautiful Vera Wang gown.
Kristen + Brandon - hope you guys are having a fantastic honeymoon! Tommy and I had a great time sharing in your day ;-)

Kristen's "something blue" - this darling little shoe charm!
gorgeous.

the chapel grounds are lovely for photos
one of the coolest things about weddings @ the DAC is access to their rooftop - especially if there's a Tigers game that night - fireworks!!

This was a great Ann Arbor wedding! Michelle and Andreas were married earlier this month at the Michigan League, which is a lovely venue for a wedding. It's always a treat for Tommy and I to shoot so close to home ;-) Here's some favorites:
i love this portrait tommy captured:
I approve of Andreas' suit jacket ;-)
Hi hunny!!
Thanks Michelle and Andreas for being so delightful to spend the day with! Thanks also to Kathy Bishop who helped coordinate the day and kept everyone on task ;-)
i love this portrait tommy captured:
their first look was very sweet
I approve of Andreas' suit jacket ;-)
the best man was holding this ring box like it was the most precious thing on earth ;-)
ceremony in the Vanderbilt room
I think this is one of my new all-time favorites:
Onto their reception! Michelle and Andreas live a bit of a jet-setting life ;-) They met studying abroad in Australia, and are currently in Germany. Each table was named for a city meaningful to them, and there were the cutest little luggage tag souvenirs - which was so appropriate, since they had many people traveling from abroad to share their day!.
cupcakes from Decadent Delight.

If you're a fan on facebook, you've already seen a peek at this lovely wedding. Liz and Peter were married last month at St Thomas in Ann Arbor, followed by a reception at the Gandy Dancer. We had a great time spending the day with them and I"m so pleased with these images! Enjoy!
Liz's dress and earrings (bridal nerd moment: Liz, are these JCrew? If so I'm looking at the same ones for *my* wedding!!).
the girls getting ready is always one of my favorite parts of a wedding day to photograph. So many beautiful details and fun moments! I like how this next image really captures the whole scene...
the girls
Peter looking handsome! Such a nice guy - and a doctor!! good catch, Liz!! ;-)

Tommy's shots:
This is the closest we came to a portrait with all the kids - I think it's adorable!
Thanks Liz and Peter! More coming soon!! xoxo

Abby we LOVE these photos and can't wait to see the rest-- especially the photos of all of our nieces and nephews (ALL under the age of 8 :) You were more than a pleasure to work with and we would recommend you unreservedly to anyone wedding photographer "shopping." Early congratulations on your upcoming nuptials! :) Much Love, Liz & Peter
