Lindsay + Michael had a gorgeous late March wedding extravaganza at the Royal Park Hotel. They got so lucky with the crazy ass weather we’ve been having and got a ton of great outdoor shots~!

Lindsay is one hell of a stylish woman, as you’ll see from her shoe choice. Christian Louboutins. You know that red sole! So while I don’t normally post 2 shoe shots, these bad boys deserved it.

There wedding day was also the day that Taylor Swift was in town. We all got to see her walk from the hotel onto her bus. I know, right? Big frickin deal! I am not a Taylor Swift fan but I am a fan of celebrities in general, so it was cool to me.

Lindsay + Mike had the most amazing dream team of vendors. I mean right of the bat, there was us, does it get much better than that?! There was Lee Thomas on video. He makes the most amazing wedding films Ive ever seen. Mary Ann Ross on the DJ station. You all know my love for her and my thoughts that she is the best thing to ever happen to weddings since

Lastly, Lindsay + Michaels wedding day was full of laughter. That was the one thing that struck me most as I edited their images. The ketubah signing (Jewish tradition), the ceremony, the reception: all full of intense laughter. Love it.

Nate and I have known Jonathan since we got into wedding photography. He is a video guy. He used to do weddings but has moved on to different things now. When he asked us to shoot his wedding we were SO flattered! This guy knows good stuff. When we finally met his fiance Nicole, we fell in love with her~! She is adorable, so sweet and most importantly, down to earth.

Their day could not have gone any smoother~!

When I walked into Nicole’s hotel room, I wanted to marry her too~! Her hair, her dress, her veil, everything was INCREDIBLE~!:

LOVE the Royal Parks big gorgeous hotel room windows:

Bird cage veils = coolest brides:

There’s something hilarious about this image:

Nicole + her dad waiting to walk down the aisle:

Stepping into the conservatory:

He sees her for the first time:

The Conservatory at the Royal Park Hotel is THE most beautiful location for a Michigan ceremony. If I were handing out awards Id give it to them in a heartbeat~!:

This was some kind of hand tying ceremony thing, I liked it:

Sometimes, the before kiss is so much more emotional than the actual kiss:

It was raining (that happens in Michigan) but the Royal Park is one of the BEST places for indoor images, so it did not matter at all:

I’m crazy about this one:

This may be the most dynamic ring shot ever, but it’s SO cool~! They met on Match.com, and these are their profiles:

“The Ecomony Sucks” Collection

admin — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 13:15:56 +0000

We have unveiled a new wedding collection to help a few lucky couples who, due to the craptastic economy, otherwise would not have been able to afford to work with us!

We have met with a few couples lately that we absolutely loved, wanted to work with and get to know better – but our current collections were out of their budget due to the sacrifices we all have been having to make. We don’t want anymore fantastic couples to walk away due to this current situation!

Now, you can have us at your wedding with the basic collection for $3200.00 and worry about the rest when you can.

This collection still includes both Nate and I at your wedding for 8 hours, a full res DVD of files and 90 days of online proofing. The things it does not include are an engagement session, proof magazine and Image Book. These are all things that could be added later however.

We will be accepting only 5 of these collections for the 2009 wedding season.

This is a big deal. Please pass on the info to your friends, coworkers and families. Also, if your a member of an online wedding board, we’d love for you to spread the news there as well.

Emily was beautiful. The ceremony was beautiful. The posed images came out beautifully. The reception was truly beautiful. Even with the rain, this was one heck of a beautiful day for these two.

More brides should wear killer pink shoes! Seriously, no one sees them unless you show them off!:

I am totally in love with this shot:

So cute! On a side note: why does the lobby of the Royal Park smell SO good?!:

Cool bridal party shot:

I dig the darkness and moodiness here, and I love the sneaky look on Emilys face:

I don’t normally show this many detail shots, but Emerald City really outdid themselves! It was breathtaking:

Each centerpiece was individually lit, creating a very dramatic look:

This might be the coolest centerpiece shot I have ever taken:

The head table was amazingly lit with so many candles:

Super sweet first dance shots:

Rings on giant plant in lobby:

Emily + Brendan: I hope your honeymoon is going spectacularly and you enjoyed this sneak peek!
