Catherine + Andrew’s wedding at Torch Lake

Friday, August 22nd, 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!

Catherine + Andrew’s Wedding Details:

Venue: Private Home, Torch Lake Michigan
Dress: J.Crew
Shoes: Christian Louboutin

Part 1: The rehearsal dinner

The day before the wedding they had a fabulous rehersal BBQ dinner at a friends home just up the street from Catherine’s parent’s home. It was gorgeous-and the perfect night-with the perfect sunset!

Alisha + Brian’s Wedding at the Chop House Ann Arbor

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

The more we get to know Alisha + Brian the more we love them. We didn’t get to do an e-session before the wedding, so I we didn’t know each other too well come wedding day-but we had nothing to worry about! We left their wedding feeling like we had a new adopted family. We just adore Alisha, Brian, and their families. Thanks for treating us so wonderfully! Since Alisha’s dad is an owner of the Chop House, it was shut down for the wedding all day on a Sunday-talk about special! Another special thing-they honeymooned in the gorgeous island of Montserrat for 2 whole weeks. Color me jealous!

Thanks again for trusting us with your wedding guys-your the best! Enjoy your upcoming journey to Greece!

Alisha + Brian’s Details:

Venue: The Chop House
Dress: Jenny Lee
Flowers: Thom Thompson Flowers, Ann Arbor

Kelly + Joe were married in May at the super cool Deer Lake Beach House on Boyne’s property.

We really had an amazing time photographing them + their family.

Enjoy!
