Mike + Michelle- Henry Ford Museum Wedding- Dearborn, Michigan

Mike and Michelle were married at the Henry Ford Museum. We love this venue because they feature a number of gorgeous rooms in their

building, each with a different look.

Michelle was such a gorgeous bride! Her subtle sparkling details lended themselves perfectly to her sheath and classic lace dress. Her unique green bouquet was the perfect compliment to it all.

Michelle and Mike both said that their favorite part of the day was during their ‘First Look.’

From the Bride: “My favorite moment was when I saw my future husband. We did a sneak peek and as I walked down the stairs at the Henry Ford Museum, I could see him standing in front of me. It was so exciting when he turned around and I LOVED having a few minutes where it was just the two of us before the ceremony and reception.

From the Groom: “Hard to choose a favorite, but seeing her for the first time was my favorite part (yes I cried!) Also seeing her mom happy and the rest of the family too was amazing!”

The Henry Ford Museum is such a fun location for a Bride and Groom to have their ceremony and reception at because the historical museum actually allows wedding parties to venture through their exhibits and photograph next to the variety of displays.

We had a ton of fun with Michelle and Mike’s group!

Josh + Courtney- The Loveless Cafe & Barn Wedding- Nashville

Courtney, the bride, actually works at the Loveless Cafe and Barn. We had a perfect day and gorgeous fall colors that really popped with the dark colors that the Courtney and Josh incorporated into their wedding party’s attire and the overall theme of their decor.

Courtney and Josh both come from a family of musicians. Using an acoustic guitar for their guestbook was such a fun and personal touch they included at their reception.

Having a live band was very important to Courtney and Josh since they and their families are all very involved in music. Both the bride and groom’s sisters sang a song for all the guests on stage and the band even invited Josh on stage to show off his drumming skills.

From the bride, describing her favorite part of the big day:

“Our last dance, which the band surprised us with my favorite song “Turning Page” by Sleeping at Last. As we started dancing, we looked up, and saw all our friends and family forming a large circle around us.”

Jake+ Rachael- Lansing, Michigan Wedding

It was a brisk but beautiful day on January 2, 2016 when Rachael and Jake were married.

Schisler_0002

Rachael has such a spunky and fun personality, it was a blast spending time with her and her girls getting ready in the morning. From the fun custom “Team Bride” tank tops to Rachael’s adorable puppy sticking around the group the whole time, there was a lot of joy and fun had inside the house. The beautiful blue bridesmaid dresses really went well with Rachael’s winter theme and tied in perfectly with her colors.

Rachael and Jake’s reception was held at the Kellogg Hotel & Conference Center in Lansing, a gorgeous venue for weddings. Their winter theme certainly continued throughout their reception decor, with white and blue being the dominant colors. We loved the beautiful cake adorned with cupcakes decorated with beautiful snowflake and ‘love’ word designs.reception

The love that Rachael and Jake have for each other was so apparent and beautiful to see throughout the day. It’s such a good feeling to witness and capture those special moments during the reception as well. From the heartfelt toasts to the emotional first dances, the love between family, friends and especially the bride and groom is so apparent.

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Schisler! It was a blast and an honor to capture your special day!

2015 End Cap {Michigan Wedding Photographer}

2015 has been an amazing year.  We have photographed so many Metro Detroit Weddings and traveled too!  Some of our favorite destinations were Traverse City, Petoskey, Charlotte, NC and Nashville, TN.

As always, we want to thank all of our 2015 newlyweds for allowing us to capture these memories.  We are hoping that during our “slow” season we are able to get some of the full weddings blogged.  But for now, here are all of our couples!

Cheers and Happy New Year!

John + Jennifer {Wedding} – Metro Detroit Wedding Photographer

John and Jennifer are an amazing couple that we had the opportunity to get to know.  They have a love for each other that is so strong, it can be seen with just a simple glance.  Their wedding day was amazing.  It started out with a beautiful morning with the girls getting ready at one of the bridesmaid’s houses.  Jennifer had every detail planned out.  It was perfect.

On our way to meet the guys for John and Jennifer’s first look, it started to rain.  And it rained hard.  Some people would have been in a panic at this point.  All of the pictures were planned for outside at a beautiful park.  But they both kept their cool.  It didn’t matter about the rain.  We waited it out and soon enough, it stopped.  Then it was time for the fun to begin.  I absolutely love their first look moment which you will see below.

The ceremony was amazing.  I absolutely adore photographing in old churches.  And it doesn’t get much better than this one!

The reception was nothing short of a blast.  The father of the groom has been in a band for years and they were awesome! Between the band, choreographed dancing from the wedding party and the sparklers, I will always remember this wedding.

Here are a few of my favorites to tell the story of the day! – Jenay01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60

Becca + Joe – Michigan Wedding Photographer – Vision Photography, Inc.

Becca and Joe are such an awesome couple.  They are goofy, adorable and totally in love with each other.  I had the pleasure of getting to know them very well when I photographed a destination for one of their good friends on a Caribbean cruise this past December.  I know, my job is horrible ;o)  We had so much fun zip lining with this duo and getting a true feel for their personalities.  

After the cruise we got together for their engagement session which was nothing short of steamy and romantic.  Joe was a big trooper as we hiked through a park on a very windy day to capture an amazing story of their love. 

It wasn’t long after that, their wedding day was upon us.  The ceremony and reception were held at the beautiful Longacre House in Farmington Hills.  This was my first time shooting there and let me tell you, it was love at first site.  This venue is small, intimate and has so much charm! Sara and I were in photographer’s heaven!  Not only do they have beautiful gardens and a gorgeous stone wall, but if you walk down a hill in the backyard it’s as if you stepped in to an enchanted forest.  Don’t even get me started on the bridal suite!

Becca is a total babe and rocked her role as a bride ten fold.  She was a show stopper in her gorgeous gown from Gina’s Bridal Boutique in Milford, MI.  I always love working with them!  I also loved all the DIY details from her headband, to her bridesmaids sashes on their dresses.  Everything was perfect! 

Enough talk, here are some of my favorites from Becca and Joe’s wedding shot by Sara and I!

Enjoy!

Emmy + Devon – Military Wedding – Michigan Wedding Photographer

There is not one single aspect of this wedding that I don’t adore.  How could anyone not love a military wedding on the most patriotic day of the year?! We had so much fun with this couple and all of the traditions that they incorporated in this amazing day.

I am not going to go into any more details, I am going to let the images tell the story.

Jessy + Ben – Wedding – Michigan Wedding Photographer

What happens when you get high school sweethearts, their friends (all since high school or related) and a family who loves to party together?  You get a whole lot of awesome wrapped up in to one wedding.  Jessy and Ben have such a sweet story.  They went to high school together so obviously their paths crossed but more interesting is, Ben’s brother was dating Jessy’s sister so it was a great excuse for Jessy and Ben to hang out and get to know each other.  Ben’s brother married Jessy’s sister and now Ben and Jessy are married too!  One big happy family is bringing on a whole new meaning!

They started the day at their high school, Our Lady of the Lakes where they tied the knot.  Next we visited a park in Clarkston and then went to their home for some more personal photos, which I LOVED!  After that the party was non stop at White Lake Oaks for the rest of the night.

My second shooter, Richa, and I had an amazing time getting to know these two and their families and were honored to be such an important part of their day. 

Here is their story:

Brandon + Kristen – Riviera Maya {Destination Wedding} – Vision Photography, Inc.

Brandon and Kristen are clients who became great friends of mine.  Kristen is a picture fanatic so I see her many times throughout the year.  Who wouldn’t be with a family as gorgeous as theirs?!  I was beyond thrilled when Kristen asked me to photograph her destination nuptials along with her fall reception back here in Michigan.  When she told me the wedding was going to be in Riviera Maya, I was ecstatic!  She told me all of her visions and I knew it would be beautiful.

As the planning continued, Kristen would send me pictures of her Etsy purchases (yes, there were a ton!)  My excitement continued to grow because I could tell this wedding was going to be nothing short of amazing.  She didn’t miss a single detail and pulled off a perfect destination wedding. 

On the day of the wedding, the ceremony location had to change and Kristen didn’t mind at all.  Then the rain came after the ceremony to shower the newlyweds with a little bit of luck.  Although these details would have been enough to put any bride into a panic over her day not going “perfectly” Kristen was so calm and happy.  You can really tell a couple in love when all the little things can’t get in the way of their happiness.  It just makes my heart so happy to see this.

During their ceremony, there wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd, myself included.  As I went back to start editing the pictures, I cried even more!  Apparently I am more of a sap than I imagined!

I say this all the time, but I really do love my job.  I love photographing love and being able to be a part of something so special that will be remembered forever. 

I will just let the pictures tell the rest of the story…
