Susan + Bob had the most fabulous, hip and intimate last minute wedding EVER~! They only started planning this incredible affair at the end of July~! No doubt this has a lot to do with their laid back attitudes, impeccable style and the help of the uber talented Laura Davis~!

Susan having a blast with her daughter and sisters before the ceremony:

Bob got dressed in his fancy and humongous RV in the parking lot~!:

I’m in love with this shot of Susan (impatiently waiting for the ceremony to start:

They walked down the aisle together (so sweet) and Susan hammed it up!:

The priest gifted them a slinky during the ceremony to represent the importance of flexibility in a marriage. Hilarious~!:

Susan found a beautiful spot for posed pics behind Troy High School with these beautiful grasses:

The trail they walk their dog through:

Shiraz Restaurant has a seperate room for private parties that is killer! Laura Davis worked her skills and turned it into a hip, modern and colorful cocktail party:

As always, Blumz created some really unique floral pieces:

There’s this gorgeous private courtyard there as well:

One of the employees at Shiraz is an expert at opening wine bottles with a machete! This is Susan + Bobs reaction to watching her:

Then she let Bob do it~!:

And Susan couldn’t believe it~!:

My favorite 1st dance pic in a while:

There were about 9 different passed mini desserts. These are my favorite 2.

Cheesecake Lollipops! You know I’ll be making these soon now~!:

Warm cookies with milk shooters!:

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!

Seeing each other for the first time:

I heart this shot SO SO  much:

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:

Rings on sushi!:

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!

Dana getting ready:

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!:

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.

We feel so lucky to work with amazing couples like Ros + Jon. I cannot stress the importance of trust when it comes to your wedding photos. Ros + Jon are fun, easy going and so incredibly nice. Their didn’t feel like work to us. I know that we will continue to get to know these two for a very long time!

We did some cool urban shots in downtown Rochester:

We have a thing for brick:

We also have a thing for industrial stairways:

Over to the Rochester Community House for some more fantastic images. By the way, isn’t Ros’s little jacket too adorable?! I had never seen anything like it and I loved it:

Yummy sky:

Another bride that had no issue laying in the grass! How lucky are we! I think it was totally worth it for this sassy image:

First dance:

Yet another non-white cake!:

Their centerpieces were made of wheat grass, which is one of my all time fav things. So, rings in wheat grass:
