The wedding was at the Detroit Yacht Club, Sara and Dan are wonderful, their families blending together beautiful. They had, I do believe the most amazing vows I’ve ever heard and their Ketubah was/is so original and a true piece of art, both in the words and the design. I’m honored to have been able to be there and share just a taste of who they are and what the day was here.
I was totally thrilled to hear that Rhona had sent her wedding to the amazing wedding blog site the Brides Cafe. Janie at the Brides Cafe shared it with Essence Magazine and they loved the images and Rhona and Justin’s beautiful selves, both sites shared images, stories and the great video trailer by Andy Owen of Owen Video.
I wanted to thank both of these sites for sharing Rhona and Justin’s special day and my photos.

I grew up in Ann Arbor, and I drove cab in Ann Arbor. I love the city and I know the city pretty well. So when I drove up to Jenay and Michael’s home I couldn’t have been more delighted they live in one of my favorite neighborhoods, they have the sweetest home and it suits them perfectly. Even better, we spent the late afternoon enjoying places I’d been and seen my whole life, but through Jenay and Michaels eyes (and cheesy though it may sound love) it looked completely different and even more wonderful to me than I remember. We went to the market, walked downtown and did a bit of hanging out about their house. Simple things that are made special when they are done with someone you care about. That is, I think, what being married is all about, can’t wait for their big day.

It’s a whirlwind, three destination shoots out of town this June/July and weddings every weekend I’m in town, not to mention portrait sessions, things are popping and the blog has suffered a touch. We did get to spend a few days together as a family in Mexico shooting Michelle and Brendon’s Mayan Riviera wedding. Here are a few of our family snaps, visiting cenotes, Chichen Itza and hanging on the beach at the resort. A little tropical break before heading back to my busiest year yet. I’m so lucky to be able to do what I do, love it and be able to spend time with my most amazing men well I couldn’t ask for more honestly. If I won the lottery I wouldn’t change a thing (well I might do some more shopping and hire a housekeeping service :) )
stay tuned for not only the wedding images but the family session I shot while I was down there for another wedding photographer Rebbecca Bonner!

Ruby and Josh are artists, teachers, and amazing people. When Ruby and I first met over coffee we couldn’t stop talking, it was instant bond time and I was so so so lucky to be able to celebrate with them on their wedding day.

Sara and Dan met up with me the week before their wedding for their engagement session :) I love Sara and Dan. I love engagement sessions, they are so darn, well nice (just like Sara and Dan). I love getting to know my my brides and grooms better, I love getting to talk and learn more about who they are and what is important to them. I love that the session is a little oasis of quality time for them and a great way for all of us to be that much more relaxed on the big day. The wedding pics will be up soon but here are a few from the week before :)
