Tara and Joe are one of those couples who you just know, no matter what comes their way, will share their lives together forever. I loved that the day before their wedding they spent an hour and a half in front of the Eucharist, praying for graces to help them be holy for each other and for their children. I personally cannot think of a better way to prepare yourself for marriage.

Tara and Joe got married in beautiful St. Matthew’s Catholic Church in Flint and after their ceremony we had a grand time roaming around some pretty great areas of the city. Their reception took place at the University of Michigan’s Northbank Center with Aaron Smith from A-Team Productions making sure everyone had a good time.

Enjoy the sneak peek!

Wow! The light that we had for this sunrise engagement session was simply incredible. I could just sit down and admire it for hours. I’m so happy that Liz and Lewis were crazy enough  to agree to start their session at 6:00am.

I’m busy catching up on a score of projects and photoshoots, but I couldn’t not find time to share a sneak peek at Audrey and Tim’s wedding at Waldenwoods Resort and Conference Center in Harland, Michigan.

Enjoy!

Today I wanted to introduce you to our latest engaged couple – Courtney and Gus. Congratulations you guys and enjoy the sneak peek!

I’m far behind on things I want to blog about but I couldn’t not post a sneak peek of Tara and Joe’s snowy engagement session at Oakhurst Golf and Country Club in Clarkston, MI. Enjoy!

I want to congratulate these die hards – Brittney and Chris! They braved some pretty cold temps for an outdoor photo shoot, but the winter weather made for some fun shots that I hope they will always cherish. Seeing their chattering teeth and rosy cheeks took me back 3 years to my own Rock the Dress session in January when my wife and I froze in our wedding get-ups, posing for pictures!

Hope you enjoy their photos! And keep scrolling down to catch a glimpse of  my own Rock the Dress session shot by awesome Marcin Dryl in Poland.

And here are a few photos from my Rock the Dress photographed by Marcin Dryl:

I am still catching up on the last of my projects from 2011, but I just wanted to share a quick sneak peek of the latest ABC (Association of Bridal Consultants) event a few days ago at The Links at Whitmore Lake. It was such an honor to be the photography sponsor for the occasion along with some other incredible vendors (listed below). It was also super nice to see Shane from Shane Tincu Films, Ana from Twofoot Creative and Jeffrey from JLB weddings (thanks for the photos of me speaking, Jeffrey!) and to have an opportunity to meet many other great wedding vendors. I also got to discover my new favorite dessert ever: Pinkberry Frozen Yogurt. Please, do not try it. You WILL get hooked and end up driving tens of miles just to get some.

Hope you enjoy the photos and the virtual panorama (click on the very first image below).

Happy Thanksgiving! So much to be thankful for today..my family and friends, my faith, my health and of course my job. Being able to take pictures for a living is a huge blessing. And so today I’m happy to share Brandie & Joe’s wedding!
They got married just a couple weeks ago on a chilly November day sort of like today. The bridal party was so great, going along with all my crazy ideas and posing for pictures out in the cold.
I also had a great time working alongside Shane & Lisa Tincu from Shane Tincu Films. And this lucky bride and groom had Go Izzy, so the floral arrangements and decorations looked amazing.

Can’t wait for Brandie and Joe’s Rock the Dress session soon!

Hope you enjoy the photos!

Preparation: Royal Park Hotel
Ceremony: Zion Christian Church
Reception: Cherry Creek Golf Course
