Fate would have it that on the very last day of high school these two would meet. Five years, a new business venture and many of adventures later, Chad popped the question and of course it was a big YES! Having moved to Colorado Rosalie and Chad decided to come home and throw a grand Detroit wedding to be closer to their families for such a dear celebration.

Rosalie and Chad couldn’t have asked for a better spring day for their June wedding. The clear skies and warm light were perfect for their outdoor ceremony and downtown Detroit bridal party photographs. They were such a fun couple to work with! We had a blast on downtown and the chemistry they had for one another made our jobs easier then ever.

Details details details!!!

Oh my goodness! GIVE ME ALL THE DETAILS! This couple and their wedding details were gorgeous to say the least and we just can’t get enough of them! A love story that was nine years in the making, finally came together in the bright elegant feel of the Planter Conservatory which parred perfectly with the spirited love Erin and Drew have for one another. Clean rustic details created a day that was everything they had dreamed of them to be. (I mean how could it not have been?! Stunning.)

Their tight-knit families loved being close as they enjoyed dinner over long family dinner style tables. As the sun began to set, Urban Kris Productions kept the energy alive and everyone light on their feet as they took over the dance floor. But we have to say… it was so sweet that when we asked the groom he said compared to the first sight of his bride walking down the aisle in her Maggie Sottero dress.

Fellow photography addicts: Photographing this wedding was a dream. May in Michigan can mean an 80 degree, sun-shining day… it could also mean snow storms. But this venue was both Plan A and Plan B. Luscious greenery explodes all around with a flood of warm natural light perfectly illuminating every well thought out detail. Add in such a fun loving couple and you can say we had a blast.

Erin and Drew, thank you so much for inviting us to be a part of your big day and congratulations!

Do you think you might want a whimsical wedding but also love the feel of a edgy urban wedding and think you can’t have both? Think again because this couple did it and they did it well. Kyle and Renee were such a gift to work with leading up to their October wedding in the heart of Detroit, all the way through to the end. They managed to perfectly capture both their personalities in a wedding with style, character and elegance in heartbeat of Detroit.

They loved exploring downtown with their bridal party hitting all the iconic spots such as the DIA and the Detroit Public Library as well as inviting us to use our creativity and their energy to photograph them in front of some classic midtown murals.

Following the ceremony at the Historic Trinity Lutheran Church we headed off to the reception where Bellisario Florists had completely transformed the space into a dreamland of delicate vines and greenery mixed with floating hand-blown glass candle votives. Every detail was had its own important eloquence.

When guests were done taking it all in they quickly joined the bride and groom on the dance floor as Fifty Amp Fuse took the stage. Kyle and Renee’s love for each other and their families was truly contagious and we were so honored to be witnesses to their fairytale come true. Congratulations Kyle and Renee!

Kyle and Renee you were a treat! We hope you had as much fun on your day as we did! XOXO

Colleen and Ryan had so much energy and enthusiasm as they prepared to celebrate their marriage together. We had so much fun with them as we started in the morning with Colleen at the Hilton Suites of Auburn Hills. She and her bridesmaids got ready and the boys headed off for some fun at the Chop Shop in Berkley, Michigan; a hip barber shop that is full of character with great service. They had a blast getting clean cuts and shaves before heading over to Meadow Brook Mansion in Rochester, Michigan for the ceremony and reception.

Colleen’s dress from Demetrio’s was stunning on her as she glistened in the sun on this late September day.

The venue on such a day couldn’t have worked out better. Colleen and Ryan were able to take advantage of the sunny architectural landscape for stunning portraits inside the famous mansion as well as warm and bright photographs outside and into the sunset.

When we asked the bride to share some words with us about the wedding she said something so simple yet so telling… “It was the best day of my life!” Congratulations again Ryan and Colleen!
