ashleigh + christopher | married!

ashleigh and christopher are such a cool and laid-back couple.  i’ve been looking forward to their wedding all year!  the big day came and went last weekend at the Henry Ford Museum, and went off without a hitch 😉

a few quick vendor shouts:
hair: luigi @ luigi bruni
makeup: Amani Mokdad
flowers: Sebesta Design
band: Chateau

I started off the day with Ashleigh at the Ritz, for all the “getting ready” action
here’s luigi working his magic:

loved the bouquet and boutonniere – too often I see these giant flower
boutonniere’s that just don’t stay nice – by the time we’re ready for
pictures, they’re practically destroyed!  But this looked sharp all day
– so, note to future grooms – get a boutonniere that won’t wilt or fall apart!!barton015.jpg

so many amazing spots to shoot at the museum – and wouldn’t you know it, some of my favorite pictures are made against the wall outside the bathrooms – ha!
