Erin rocked the most gorgeous Vera Wang dress!

and I loved how her shoes and earrings came together as a little hint of maize and blue ;-)
Erin and the girls all looked absolutely stunning - makeup by the fab Tammy Pore
flowers by pot and box - erin had lisa wrap her bouquet stem in a piece of lace from her grandmother's dress - so sweet
Neil was so dashing in his uniform!!
ceremony in the ballroom. this is one of my favorite images that I've captured this year - I just adore all the emotion (i love it when the groom gets choked up!!)

i LOVED all the detailing on this dress. so organic and beautiful!

this was really a special wedding for me to photograph. Years ago I worked for Dorothy, when she was still operating the late, great Dorothy Gotlib Photography. I was her studio manager, and this was actually the last job I had before I launched my own business. I learned so much about the business of photography from Dorothy, and I'll always be grateful to her for that ;-) She's moved on to bigger and better things (med school!) and is now doing her residency at the U of M.
Before i share photos, a little more about Dorothy and Jacob. These two have the cutest story! They actually met as roommates (coincidentally, in the same house where these two met as neighbors!). There is some seriously good mojo at 716 North 4th ;-)
Wedding at the Ann Arbor City Club - lovely little spot!

loved this wedding! we've gotten to know the Simon family pretty well over the past couple of years. They are good friends with these guys, these guys, and these guys - plus, we shot older sister Kristen's wedding last year! So Tommy and I were super-excited to get to work with them again!
This was an absolutely gorgeous, timeless Detroit wedding. Just beautiful!
I'm a little obsessed with her Monique Lhuillier dress - and I loved her pretty custom hanger (from etsy). If you want a stunning hanging dress shot, I think these are fab! (and of course a gorgeous window to hang it in helps, too!).

ceremony at Blessed Sacrament - one of Detroit's most beautiful churches
I love this whole series of moments - so much emotion. This is what it's all about!
a quick stop at the Fox before heading to the DAC for their reception. (note that I totally almost got run over getting these images - but, I think it was worth it!!)
some lovely toasts
first dance
fireworks on the roof!

I am sooooo behind on blogging (what else is new) - but I am determined to get caught up!
Super excited to share this gorgeous Ann Arbor wedding from last month. Rebecca and Taylor are just a beautiful couple and this wedding had such a classic style. At one point during the day, someone made a joke that they were like Will & Kate and I just had to laugh because it is so true! Plus Rebecca has an adorable younger sister who could totally be Pipa ;-)
Anyhow - check out some faves!
Getting ready at St Thomas. The wonderful Tammy Pore did a fab job with makeup!!

we are getting in so many beautiful books this time of year! Just thought I'd take a moment to share a couple ;-)
First is Mia's Bat Mitzvah album - how amazing is this?! I just love the creative cover they selected with it's textured 'racing stripe' accent ;-)

and some favorite pages
pretty cool! Getting my hands on the finished album is really my favorite part of the whole process - it's the final culmination of the whole artistic endeavor and it's so rewarding to see it all come together into a beautiful keepsake book ;-)
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
