Ali's eyes are AMAZING!!!

I love the last few minutes of sunlight right before it dips below the horizon... it's the BEST light!

Congratulations Ali ... Alex!

I just couldn't resist shooting in front of Anthropologie... their window displays are always so amazing!

Their gorgeous decor, including the linens, flowers, and invitations, was made possible by Nicole of Emerald City Designs, the cake came from Zingerman's Bake House, and Erin's stunning Judd Waddell dress was from Macy's Bridal Salon.

The Jerry Ross Band played at the reception and the videography was done by Jamie Honce.

My 2nd photographer took these photos of Jeff as he was waiting to see Erin for the first time that day. I just LOVE these photos because it reminds me that grooms too get nervous about the wedding day (we all often seem to focus so much on the bride, somewhat overlooking how the groom feels at times). I've talked with a lot of grooms in these moments of nervousness and they all say just about the same thing... they're not nervous about the fact that they're about to marry their fiance... they're just nervous because they know how much the wedding day means to their fiance and they don't want to do anything to mess that up. It's sweet really... they want so much for the day to be perfect for their bride!!!

And then as soon as they see one another the nerves melt away instantly...

Dear Henry Ford Museum: Thank you for having amazing relics of Americana, for having such unique places to shoot, and for providing awesome light in which to shoot. I love you, I really do!

I loved finding this tiny little University of Michigan symbol on their cake... adorable!!!

Thank you, videographer Jamie Honce, for putting your video light in just the right place to cast this shadow on the wall of the branches near the sweetheart table. I LOVE silhouette images and so I was super excited when I found this one!

Jeff wasn't very excited about having the Michigan fight song thrown at him... but he was a really good sport!

Kate and Dominic... I can't wait to shoot your wedding!

Bliss, and she helped out on Shannon ... Steve's wedding last year. So when she came to talk with me about photography for her wedding, I was super stoked to hear what she had in mind for her own. And after hearing about her wedding, and her fiance, and her dog... it was great to finally meet Nico! They're such a super cute couple!

But first I must start by gushing over her shoes... ah the shoes... in bubble gum pink! I absolutely LOVE those shoes... and I admire that she chose white bridesmaids dresses (it was the first time I'd ever seen that). I absolutely love when brides do things that are different than the norm... rock on Megan, you're awesome!!!

Megan's gorgeous Peter Langner dress was from Ultimate Bride in Chicago, the flowers were done by Gerych's in Fenton, MI, the cake was from Patisserie Parmentier in Novi, MI, and the beautiful invitations were made by Elizabeth Grace in Chicago. The videographer for the day was Bay Area Wedding Films.

This wedding was complete with a stunning bride and groom, adorable little kiddos, scrolling wrought iron (which I LOVE), and gorgeous decor!

Congratulations Megan ... Brad!!!

Since their wedding date was June 5th (6/5) I just couldn't resist the opportunity to shoot their rings in this way...

Dayna's gorgeous Priscilla of Boston dress was from Mimi's Bridal in Ann Arbor. The flowers were provided by One Enchanted Evening, the invitations were designed by JoAnne Nosan of the Invitation Station in West Bloomfield, and the beautifully intricate cake was created by Trifles.

The atmosphere of this stunning wedding was also made possible by the wonderful venues! The ceremony was held in The Bascilica of St. Mary and the reception was held at The Inn at St. Johns.

Last, but certainly not least, amazing wedding planner Jen House made sure the day went off without a hitch and videographer Jamie Honce was also there to capture the beautiful day!

Dayna and Nabeel, I'm so happy for you!!!
