With the small exception of the guys taking too long with the limo, this day went 100% perfectly~!

Again, being laid back and easy going on your wedding day leads to wonderful, relaxed images.

Classy look, huh?:

The Burberry details:

I heart flower balls:

Mandys reaction when she saw that Shaun had everyone holding sparklers for her walk down the aisle:

He had just said that he loved cheesy potatoes as much as he loved Mandy (cheesy potatoes ARE delicious):

PERFECT day, PERFECT sky:

This guy is an actual Spare Tire~!

reception/dinner party – Paesano’s Restaurant

Kris + Brett had a very intimate, low key and lovely wedding in Ann Arbor last weekend. They had about 50 guests to the League for their ceremony and then shuttled everyone over to the restaurant for a small dinner party. They are such casual and fun loving people, that even though we had never met (my fault!) we hit it off immediately.

Best dress hanging shot ever!:

I am in love with this mirror shot of Brett that Nate got:

This valance at the hotel fell on Bretts head. For real. He was semi injured. This is him reenacting the horrid incident:

Beutious bride + stained glass windows + mirror = killer shot~!

Seeing each for the first time that day:

We have been lucky this year to have worked with so many couples with style~! The shoes and socks this year have the best so far and Kris + Brett were no let down:

Gorgeous shot outside the League in the grass. About 10 brides have gotten in the grass for us and NOT ONE of them have gotten dirty~!:

LOVE this. Like a lot:

The beautiful Vandenberg Room at the Michigan League was the spot for the ceremony:

Paesanos Restaurant in Ann Arbor has some of the best Italian food and this adorable room for private functions~!:

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:

DJ : Mary Ann Ross

Florist : Blumz

Rebecca + Wes are textbook clients for mod4. They are everything we want in a couple. So cool, easy going, down to earth, sane and so much fun~!

The entire day was so easy because they did not let their wedding become stressful. Which I recommend.

I love this shot of Rebecca getting sassy in the theatre:

There’s something about the contrast of tattoos and wedding gowns that I can’t get enough of:

Beautiful ceremony in the beautiful courtyard:

The awesome dance floor with a giant plane hanging over it:

One of the most unique reception rooms in our state:

Rad cake (just because it’s a wedding cake, doesn’t mean it has to be white!):

Rings on sliders:

Beautiful people who are actually madly in love make our job easy as pie~!

Erin + Grant are rad in a lot of ways. Their wedding day was very very rainy so thankfully the whole day was planned to be indoors and they didn’t care about the rain. It’s Michigan, things happen. Have a back up plan.

The Ritz is beautiful. Erin is beautiful. Grant is super handsome. The flowers were beautiful. This was a beautiful wedding.

Kristen from Brides on Location did Erin’s and hair and makeup, she also did my hair on my wedding day~!:

Seeing each other for the first time. I always LOVE these shots:

I heart this bridal party shot a LOT. I usually don’t love bridal party shots but this one is pretty sweet I must say:

Before the ceremony Erin got a little nervous. This image is her bridesmaid holding her hand:

Grant is silly:

Beautiful ceremony in the beautiful Ritz ballroom:

Emotion during the ceremony. This image is really touching:

Emerald City is floral perfection:

I love their first dance images more than normal:

Nose to nose dancing = too adorable:

You can almost feel what she’s feeling with that look on her face:

DJ : Mary Ann Ross

cake : Sweet Dreams

awesome couple + trust + mod4 = totally rad wedding images~!

Mona + Daniel are special people. They are both so genuinely caring and fun and outgoing and trusting and warm. It was an absolute pleasure spending the day with them and documenting their super star wedding. Mona + Daniel are actors and theatre people so you know why the chose the stunning Gem Theatre. Dawn, as always, kept the show running perfectly!

The Gem has never offered to open this balcony for us before and I am so glad they finally did~!:

Gorgeous arrangement of petals down the aisle:

Yummy theatre lighting:

Jumping the broom perfection!:

The ever so stunning Gem dining room:

OK. I learned something at the wedding. There’s a dance called the Turbo Hustle and it’s pretty much what your thinking. Its like the Hustle but INSANELY quick. Daniel who told me he was an OK dancer, danced his ass off during this song! I think the look and sweat on his face here let you know how hard he danced:

Danielle + Mike hired us like 15 years ago (2, really) and I cannot believe that their wedding has now come and gone. I have been staring at their names on my calendar for so long that it seems weird to be done with the wedding!

Their entire day took place at the Bay Point Golf Club. We love it there! The ceremony site is so wonderful and the staff are incredibly helpful.

Danielle had a hard morning (some crazy dress issues) and I think she was relieved to finally see Mike right here:

The stars must have aligned this day because I had a very hard time narrowing down the choices here, so enjoy an extra large blog post~!

Bird cage veil – dream come true:

Pink shoes! As I always say, there’s no reason to wear boring white ones~!:

This may be my fav guy getting ready shot, ever:

The way Annie looked at Brian during the ceremony was sweet:
