Catie and James

It was such an awesome opportunity to capture the wedding of this beautiful couple!  They are both two of the nicest people I have ever met!  When I met with Catie for the first time she said 6 of my favorite words "BE AS CREATIVE AS YOU WANT".  It was awesome because Catie really wanted great pics and they were important to her, so she allowed plenty of extra time to get some AMAZING SHOTS!  Thank you Catie and James for allowing me to capture you both on your special day!

Sarah and Nathan

I really enjoyed getting to know Sarah and Nathan.  Every time I have spent time with the two of them, Nathan can't hide his Love and devotion for Sarah!  It is soooooo evident in the way he looks at her!  The two of them seem so happy and love laughing together.  Sarah has one of the most beautiful smiles ever!  I truly enjoyed capturing their special moments!  Thanks again Sarah and Nathan for choosing me to photograph one of them most memorable days of your lives!

Lindsey and Alex

This wedding was extra special to me because the bride was my cousin, Lindsey.  And the newest addition to the clan is alex and  he fits in perfect with our crazy bunch.  We all love him! 

 This wedding might have been the most beautiful wedding I have ever been to!  And to top things off, the evening was wrapped up with an awesome fireworks display over the lake- Thanks to my Uncle Kenny!  Thanks Lindsey and Alex for inviting me to tag along with you both for the day!

Love you guys!

Laura and Nick

Nick and Laura choose the perfect location for their wedding!  Right behind the beautiful little white church sat this little red caboose.  It made for some awesome photos!  I have spent quite a bit of time sipping on coffee and chatting with these two!  They remind me so much of my husband and myself.  They are the perfect match for each other and each one of their strengths complement the other so well!  I had a wonderful time photographing their big day and looking forward to photographing and capturing more memories as this family begins to grow (wink)

Congratulations!  Thanks again Nick and Laura!

Heather and Daniel

Ok, so up until now, all of my wedding posts have had couples in them, however since I can only choose one from each wedding.....I have to say this is my favorite from this wedding..SORRY Daniel! (:  I just could not keep myself from posting this one!  Heather made such a beautiful bride!  It was such a pleasure getting to know this couple.  From their engagement photos to their wedding, they are just so real and so happy together!  There is no doubt in my mind that they will live a long and happy life together!  Congratulations Heather and Daniel!  Thanks again!

Sasha and Thomas

Sasha and Thomas were a such a joy to photograph. They had a beautiful ceremony at the Ann Arbor Botanical Gardens.  It could not have been a more perfect and beautiful day!  I had an awesome time getting to know this wonderful couple! I just have to throw in that Sasha is most likely the sweetest person I have ever met in my life!  Thank you both for being so wonderful and for allowing me to capture your moments to create beautiful memories! 

Christina and Jim

I had the awesome opportunity to photograph the wedding of Christina and Jim.  Their story reminded me of how God has the perfect match and timing for all of us.  Their story is a proof to the saying that "Good things happen to those that WAIT"!  Christina and Jim are both in their 40's and neither of them ever married.  Christina was living in Hawaii and Jim flew in all the was from Australia to attend a wedding that Christina was also attending....to make a long story short- They met, fell in love, and GOT MARRIED!!!!!  They are diffidently a match made in Heaven.  I could not stop smiling behind my camera because they were so darn CUTE and soooo in LOVE!  Thanks again Christina and Jim! 

Monica and Eliezer

Monica and Eliezer had a beautiful outdoor wedding!  I really enjoyed watching the two of them and capturing the strong love they have for one another! This love was beaming from both of their eyes!  I had an almost death experience at this wedding. I was standing on a chair trying to get a perfect shot looking down on the two of them, when the leg of the chair sank down into some muddy dirt and flipped me over backwards. I seriously thought I had broken my arm, but did not want to say anything...I still had 3 hours left of shooting to do, so I just tried to ignore it. My assistant (Terria) was begging me to go to the emergency room.  We made it through the night and the wonderful events of the evening helped to distract me from the throbbing pain.  Needless to say, it was not broken...just super cut up and bruised.  I just wish my assistant could  have caught me falling on film.  I still laugh every time I think of how funny it must have looked!  Thanks again Monica and Eliezer for allowing me to photograph your beautiful day!

Amanda and Waseem

Now this is a little example of the fun times I had with Amanda and Waseem and the wedding party.  Amanda and Waseem were such a sweet couple.  They have a great story of how they met....E-Harmony!!!!  They had so many great pictures, but this one is a little different, so I thought I would put this one up.  Thanks again Amanda and Waseem for allowing me to capture the wonderful and exciting moments from your special day!

Andrea and Mark

I love this photo from Andrea and Marks photo and as you can see, it is the photo they choose for their "Thank You Cards".  I met Andrea in a Boarders Book store last winter when I ran in to check the Bridal Guide Magazine (I had been chosen as the photographer to represent the state of Michigan for a promotional DVD)  Anyway, there was Andrea looking at Bridal Magazines.  We spoke for a few minutes, I gave her my website address and next thing I know, she gave me a call and that was that!  The two of them had a wonderful and beautiful ceremony as well as a unbelievable reception.  Andrea and Mark are another couple that bring a perfect balance to one another and will make a wonderful team as they spend the rest of their lives together.  Thank you both for sharing your day and allowing me to capture it!

Rebecca and Stergio

This photo is one of my favorites from Rebecca and Stergio's reception.  There was plenty of glass knocking on this day!!!  Rebecca and Stergio live in Chicago and had a small wedding here in the states only to go have another one in GREECE!  Stergio is from there, and knowing Rebecca, it was just as beautiful as here wedding here!  Thank you both for choosing me to be your photographer and to capture your beautiful moments of your new life together!

Olga and Jason

Here is another wonderful couple that I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph on their wedding day.  I love this picture of them in the Limo.  I have never seen a groom more proud than I did Jason when he saw Olga for the first time on their wedding day.  It was a wonderful day filled with both Jewish and Russian Traditions.  Thank you both for sharing it with me and allowing me to capture your day.

Jamie and Joe

Jamie and Joe were a fun couple to get to know.  This picture is my favorite from their wedding day because it is one that they really wanted to capture.  They actually came to me with this  idea.  I think we pulled it off.  Jamie and Joe are a perfect balance for a married couple.  Jamie keeps Joe laughing and Joe keeps Jamie out of trouble. "(;  I will never forget your sharing your first piece of cake "experience". I still laugh so hard when I think of it!  Thank you both for choosing me to be your photographer!

Dana and Chad

Dana and Chad had so many beautiful photos from their wedding of the two of them, however I will have to say that this was my favorite!  Dana, Chad picked a beautiful location for their wedding on Traverse Bay at the Perry Hotel!  They had a beautiful wedding  and you all should have seen Dana (I know it is hard to see her from this pic, so you will have to check her out on my website!) ,but she looked stunning!  I will have to say that her dress is still one of my favs EVER!

And for Chad,... He is lead singer in a rock band, and let me tell you...HE IS GOOD!  Watch out America, you will be seeing this couple on the Magazine racks soon!

Thanks again for choosing me to be your photographer and for sharing your amazing day with me!

Shelly and Jake

I had the wonderful opportunity to photograph my very first Indian wedding!  What an awesome experience and what a blast we had!  Shelly had lots family fly in from India and everyone was decked out in beautiful Indian clothing.  Shelly and Jake are a wonderful couple who really have a passion to help others and I believe their Marriage is going to be truly blessed because of that passion!  Thanks again Shelly and Jake for allowing me to capture your beautiful day!

Katy and Alex

Katie and Alex were a beautiful couple.  I had never met either of them before the wedding day.  Katie had seen my site and asked if she could sign the contract and send it to me in the mail. (They were living in Bloomington, IN and having their wedding back here near Grosse Pointe, MI.)  In the little time I did spend with them, I could not believe how perfect two people could be for one another!  You could see the deep love, devotion and selflessness each of them had for the other from the look in their eyes to their written vows.  Thank you both for allowing me to share and capture your day!

favorite image from each of my "2008" weddings

Crystal and James were such a fun couple to photograph!  They had their wedding at the Detroit Zoo if that tells you how wild and crazy these two are!  In the above photo we on downtown in the middle of Woodward Ave. Yes!  You heard it right. I am laying down in the middle of the street during this shot.  My husband about had a heart attack when he saw this photo!  Thanks again Crystal and James for allowing me to capture the first moments and memories of your new life together!
