Tamara + Steve | Michigan wedding photography

This post is long overdue!  We photographed Steve and Tamara’s wedding in April – our first wedding of the year, and the absolute perfect way to kick off the 2012 season.  I’ve been meaning to blog this for awhile now, but every time I even *thought* about sitting down to do it, I would get overwhelmed – because there are SO MANY images that I absolutely LOVE.  This wedding was really something special to photograph 😉  Steve and Tamara are amazing photographers themselves and Tamara has been a friend for several years.  It’s been pretty cool watching her and Steve fall head over heels for each other 😉  I LOVED working with these two because they had complete confidence in me and my ‘vision’ and pretty much let me do my thing throughout the day.  In the age of pinterest boards and wedding blogs it’s really, really refreshing to be given that level of trust.

Here is just a little sampling of my favorite images from their day:

Getting ready at Weber’s Inn.  Tamara wore a stunning, ethereal custom gown from master seamstress Bonnie Daws

stunning bouquet from Passionflower

the intimate ceremony was held in Ann Arbor’s Kerrytown courtyard.  I adore this image of Tamera peeking out, waiting.  such anticipation 😉

CONGRATS, CONGRATS to Tamara and Steve!  We love you guys!  Also big thanks to the lovely Lisa Monahan for second shooting part of the day with me – you contributed some fab images, and it was such fun to have you there!
