Catherine + Andrew’s wedding at Torch Lake

8.22.2008

Buckle up-because this is gonna be a long one! We photographed Catherine + Andrew’s amazing wedding at her parent’s cottage home on the gorgeous Torch Lake last month and have been dying to blog it since! It was so Martha Stewart Chic! Andrew + Catherine are from L.A. so we didn’t have the pleasure of meeting them until we showed up to shoot their rehearsal dinner on Friday-and we were so thrilled to hit it off so well with them! The day threatned rain all day, but it never did! Which was a good thing b/c we had our outdoor photobooth to set up that they hired us to do-it turned out fantastic and was so fun to see people let loose and get their photo taken! Enjoy!

Thanks again for asking us to shoot your wedding guys!

You guys are absolutely the best!!! The photo booth photos really do rock! And for the rest….we’re really at a loss for words. You captured all our favorite moments so perfectly, and the funny thing is, I was so nervous to get the photos because I really don’t remember you taking any! You blended right in and just got everything we wanted. And we are so glad you were at the rehearsal dinner - it’s so great to have all those photos. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

What an amazing location–Torch Lake is gorgeous. Catherine is a gorgeous bride, and all of the details she planned were simply breathtaking.

LOVE the vibe of the party shots, especially the smoking one & the rock star pose. Very vintage & cool.

8.22.2008 | Kathleen Said:

What a great shoot, Jess & Nate! Always stunning work and the photobooth–well–I am sure more weddings are going to have that now! What a great idea…

8.22.2008 | Kristin Said:

Absolutely stunning! I’m sure you get that a lot. ☺

I don’t know a lot about photography, I’m actually an invitation designer, but I was wondering how you achieve that vintage-soft look in all your photos. Is this an editing technique or some kind of filter? I’ve seen some vignetting in your work, which I am familiar with, but the color and focus in your photos is just so capturing!

Keep up the great work, you make Michigan look like a fairy tale! ☺
