Comerica Park- Kristen and Suzanne

Comerica Park
Detroit MI  

Congratulations to Kristen and Suzanne! These two were married in May in Chicago, after about twenty years of being together! I love the fact that they had planned on spending that weekend just the two of them and their family and friends said, "No way, we're coming too." It was a great group of people for the reception as well. It was a fun and laid-back event at the Tiger Club. We were fortunate to get the insider tour of Comerica Park. So cool!! We went into the dugouts, the visitor's locker room, the press box, among other "insider spots".  It was really something. My favorite part was walking out of the "tunnel" to the field. What an amazing experience. Go Tigers!

Thank you for sharing your story with me! I wish you many more years of happiness together.

Here is a little preview of the festivities:

Apple Mountain Resort -- Erin and Bryan

Apple Mountain Resort
Freeland MI

Erin and Bryan met through his cousin, Allison, over pitchers of Blatz one Tuesday night. After laughing all night, Erin had to ask for Bryan's number. Their love sustained a long distance relationship while Erin was in Grand Rapids for pharmacy school. As they put it, "Distance is not for the fearful, it's for the bold. It's for those knowing a good thing when they see it, even if they don't see it nearly enough." After graduation, they started thinking about happily ever after.

These two are so funny and super, super cool people. Naturals in front of the camera, they kept me laughing through the lens. Just in case you missed their awesome engagement session, you may view it here:

The wedding was gorgeous. Apple Mountain Resort has sprawling green hills and an intimate little chapel that was perfect for these two. My favorite part of the day was "the shoe game". This was new to me. Erin and Bryan sat back to back and they had one of Bryan's shoes and one of Erin's in each hand. The DJ (Scott Arnett from Rusch Entertainment) would ask a question and each raised either Erin or Bryan's shoe to answer the question. Laughter erupted throughout the venue.

Whenever I think about this couple, I just see smiles. They are all smiles!!I am honored that I had the chance to document their big day. Special thanks to the people who made this day so wonderful and go so smoothly are listed below.

King's Court Castle Wedding, Detroit- Mark and Danielle

King's Court Castle
Lake Orion, MI

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Bennetts!! I am so glad these two found each other. They definitely compliment each other's personality and both of them are just plain hilarious. At times it was a little hard to keep the camera steady while I was laughing behind it. I remember our consult, over a year ago, when I met Danielle and Mark. We were talking and laughing for almost two hours and I kind of forgot we were there to discuss business! I remember thinking, "Even if you don't hire me, can we just be friends?".

Mark and Danielle met through work and have been silly for each other ever since. At their engagement session at Dequindre Cut in Detroit (www.lookatthebiggerpicture.com/blog/mark-and-danielle-engagement-session), they made each other laugh so hard that I wanted to ask them to be my comedians at all my sessions and make my clients laugh. It would be a very different career change for both of them, but still... I hope they think about it.

I am so thankful that I was chosen to capture their wedding! Here is the preview of their big day! Click on an image to make it larger then scroll through. Enjoy.
