Married in April on a lovely spring day that threatened rain all day and in the end the sun came out. Abra wore a gorgeous Monique Lhuillier (http://www.moniquelhuillier.com/) tea length dress and it couldn’t have been more perfect for her.

They were married at the St. Hugo of the Hills and the reception was held at the light-filled Pine Lake Country Club. The wedding was expertly planned by the wonderful Misty Trompeter of Bells + Bliss events (http://www.bellsandbliss.net/).

Thanks for letting us capture your day Abra + Ralph!!

enjoy!

were married in April and had such a wonderful wedding full of love + family. The wedding was held at the Famous Kruse + Muier restaurant where Emily + Mark met many years ago-how cool is that?

Emily + Mark-thank you for trusting us with your wedding-it’s been a privilege to get to know you both.

Enjoy!

So enough with teasers-on to Amanda + Matthew’s official slideshow + blog sneak peek!

We truly loved getting to know them both-and we really had a blast with them on their very snowy, very windy michigan wedding day. We adore what we were able to capture for them. Enjoy!!

and there is a LOT more than just the photos below in their wedding slideshow here:

I just adore these two images of Amanda (can you tell she used to be a model?):

we wanted these to have a very Hitchcock ‘esque feeling about them-very very vintage + cinematic:

taking advantage of the snowflakes:

the gorgeous Guardian Building in Detroit (where the reception + ceremony where held):

we photographed Amanda + Matthew’s simply gorgeous wedding last night at the Guardian building in downtown Detroit.

more to come, till then-enjoy the teaser!

were married in Detroit on 12.22.07. We just adore these two-Shamille has the best energy-can you tell? We were able to go to downtown detroit after their intimate Royal Oak reception for some portrait time. Shamille changed into the coolest 60’s mini wedding dress with bell sleeves-I want it!!!
We stole into the Guardian Building (watch for Amanda + Matthews wedding there next month-it’s a gorgeous Art Deco building, and I am sure it will be amazing!).
Enjoy!

Love these images-shot in the church pew’s:

see? doesn’t the dress simply rock?:

my favorite from their day:

wow Todd and Laura got married almost 3 months ago. Can we say BEHIND? They had a LOVELY wedding at the awesome River Birch lodge in Heartland. Laura wore a stunning Nicole Miller gown that I just adored. Enjoy!

Were married last month on 11.10.07!

Dress: Monique Lhuillier
Venue: The Inn at St. John’s

Lydia + Kurt had a lovely wedding last month that we were honored to be a part of. We captured some lovely images that you for sure will see on the new site (launching by the end of the month-I PROMISE!)

Enjoy!

I love the face on the little flower girl to the left!:

I love this series of images in the get away car:

Were married on 10.27.07 at Forest Lake Country Club in Bloomfield Hills. Tara had some gorgeous details and we were able to capture some really gorgeous moments. I loved her whole decor-she has such a knack for it being an Art Director. That is her actual handwriting on those menu’s scanned in. I think her handwriting is pretty enough to be a font. I love it! They also had the most gorgeous Rolls Royce car that was all in keeping with the classy theme. Her dress was just stunning-and I forgot to ask who made it-it was french and very classy! Enjoy!

this shot not only shows off the shoes, but the rainy, windy day we started with-a good scene setter:

Tara’s grandmother’s watch-with a sweet inscription on the back:

some gorgeous light to work with as Tara’s sister helped her get her veil on:

A storyboard of the lovely decor:

I LOVE this image!!:

were married on 10.26.07

They had a gorgeous reception at the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club and Winnie wore a gorgeous Alvina Valenta gown. We were able to capture some gorgeous moments with light and form. I am feeling a bit B+W today about their classic wedding-I think it fits. Enjoy!

I love this image of Winnie + Hillary looking through the e-session guest book:

Right after their first look at each other-I adore these two images:

easily one of my favorite images taken all year-I love the mood. It was raining and it creates this misty, moody feeling. They were backlit with a street lamp:

These final two are also strong favorites-Winnie’s dad was toasting them-and I love the lighting and mood:
