1.26.10 (Weddings) |
| Ok, I frequently write that weddings are a BLAST because I really do love shooting weddings... but seriously... this New Year's Eve wedding was a MEGA BLAST! If I have to work on New Year's Eve, this is exactly the kind of wedding I want to be shooting. The bride and groom were beyond awesome (seriously... just look below to see how they light up around one another), their wedding style was super uniquely cool (they LOVE historic Detroit more than anyone else I've ever met), the vendors were all amazing (some of my favorite people to work with), and there were sparklers, boas, top hats, and confetti (and who doesn't love that?!?!).
The Colony Club was the PERFECT venue for this classic Detroit wedding. Misty Trompeter and her team from Bells & Bliss did an AMAZING job with the planning, Gourmet Invitations totally rocked the invitations and other print materials, and Dan Nichols was and always is a super cool DJ! |
| Hello gorgeous eyelashes... |
| Awe, I LOVE first look moments!!! Just look at their expressions... |
| Shannon is radiant... inside and out. And Steve is her perfect match. |
| This image on the left is one of my favorites from the entire season. I just love the glow. |
| Shannon is allergic to flowers and so she chose to use feathers instead... which was AWESOME!!! I love the feathers in her hair... |
| ... and she did a "bouquet" of feathers... |
| I LOVE the bridesmaid candles instead of bouquets... |
| This is the moment right after they came back up the aisle, when they escaped into the elevator. Steve looked inside his new ring to read the inscription... which reads "whoop whoop". I just love their expressions!!! |
| And, also because Shannon is allergic to flowers, they had oil lamps as the centerpieces. The table cards were made from vintage postcards of Detroit landmarks and Shannon and Steve hand wrote notes to their guests on matching post cards. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Detroit loyalty and personal touch! |
| Instead of a cake they cut a donut from a local shop. Their Detroit loyalty is ENDLESS!!! |
| Ok, as a woman I'm familiar with the basket of mints, perfume, etc which is often in the ladies room. But it never occurred to me that there might be a men's version! Shannon's maid of honor created this awesome kit for the men's room... I think it's super cool and the condom tree is extremely conscientious! |
| The confetti was amazing, it really was. But, since I positioned myself to be right next to the bride and groom at midnight, I was PUMMELED by the confetti and so for a while I couldn't even change a lens without fearing that massive amounts of confetti would end up in my camera. It was INSANE... but really wonderful at the same time!!! |
| Congratulations Shannon & Steve! You really are a special couple and I wish you the best always!!! |
