Dana + Jon Got Married!

ceremony + reception : Pine Knob Carriage House

cake : Elite Sweets

DJ : J&J Sound Entertainment

florist : The Parsonage

We have been looking forward to this for quite a while! Sometimes as photographers we get the opportunity to work with people that we love spending time with. Dana and Jon are one of those couples. Not afraid to do things a little differently, the ceremony and reception were refreshingly unique. The Parsonage florist did an amazing job bringing in the outdoors to the Carriage House. I love the use of sticks and twigs in weddings!

Jon gets ready alllllll the way across town:

Dana got a tattoo of their wedding date in roman numerals. How cool is that!?:

Posed images at Pine Knob. All the posed shots were done before the ceremony:

Such a beautiful sky:

I adore this shot:

This tree had leaves the color of the wedding. It was perfect!:

Dana and her dad wait to walk down the aisle:

Ceremony inside the pavilion:

Dana is short. Jon is tall. He picked her during their first kiss:

Again, short plus tall. Jon knelt down to dance with Dana during their first dance!:

And then swung her all around:

Rings in personalized M&M’s!:

Ambyr + Jim Tie the Knot

ceremony + reception : Indian Springs Metro Park, Environmental Discovery Center

Ambyr and Jim have become so much more than clients to us, so we were so excited that their wedding day finally arrived! It was such an easy going kind of day (all wedding days should be!). The Environmental Discovery Center at Indian Springs Metro Park was really cool. We had never been there before. There were so many killer spots for photos that we could have spent all day wandering around there!

During the beautiful ceremony:

Walking away from the ceremony, such beautiful colors:

This place was perfect for posed photo time!

Sweet tunnel shot:

1st dance moments:

Why are they so cute?:

Rings on yummy kisses! They had black diamonds in their rings and now I am jealous:

Joanna + Ryan Get Hitched!

ceremony + reception venue: River Birch Lodge

DJ: Platinum Mix

florist: Hartland Flowers

Joanna + Ryan were married at the River Birch Lodge, a new venue for us! It’s a giant lodge style home on Hartland, MI with an incredible backyard! The ceremony area was stunning! They also decided to see one another before the ceremony to get the posed shots finished so that they could enjoy some of their cocktail hour. This is becoming so popular and we think it’s a great idea.

Joanna gets ready:

The house sat on these amazing rock towers:

There was a beautiful waterfall on the back patio / ceremony area:

My favorite of the day! I love this SO SO much:

Joanna having a laugh before the ceremony starts. I lover her little feet dangling there:

This is view from behind the ceremony. Isn’t it incredible?:
