scott and caitlin…married

December 18, 2012

When we moved to Michigan a little over five years ago and I was just trying to get my business up and going, this was one of the first families I met. They were one of my very first supporters, and have been supporting and spreading the word ever since. Even more lucky for me, they just happen to be amazing and wonderful people and the three daughters are beeeaauuutiful. After sister sessions and high school graduation sessions, we move right into weddings! Big, huge congratulations, Scott and Caitlin…your day was amazing.

Cake - Pastry Palace
Band - Dan Rafferty Band
Caterer – Dearborn Inn, Marriott
Wedding Coordinator – Emerald City
Dress – Bella Bridal

Nothing like starting the day off with a lovely pair of Badgley Mischkas :)

Dancing just happens to run through this family, and she’s got the legs to prove it

Love, love, love.

The three beautiful sisters mentioned previously…


After the ceremony, we headed over to the Henry Ford Estate. WOW, that place was a dream come true.

This bridal party was SO much fun!

Mmmmm, one of my very favorites.

This wedding made me realize that I am kind of obsessed with dead trees. I love the barren, negative space and muted colors…

Caitlin, you are STUN-NING.

Oh, hey Dearborn Inn, you made the most BEAUTIFUL reception venue. Thank you for that :)

ryan and jillian…married

November 7, 2012

Ryan and Jill emanate a kind of joy and happiness that is hard to describe. Obviously they are super rad and fun to be around (duh)…but I think it is their total and complete love and respect for one another that has me wrapped around their little pinkies. Their day was cold and rainy, but they didn’t even blink an eye. In fact, I remember hearing something like “I love days like this…dreary, gray…I love it!” from Jill’s mouth. That’s the kind of person she is…finding happiness in everything and sprinkling her happy fairy dust everywhere she goes. And don’t even get me STARTED on Ryan…most girls would kill to have a man that looks at and treats her like she is the most perfect creature on this earth. Needless to say, I love them.

Congrats Ryan and Jill!!

Wait, what? Is that Ryan Gosling? Different Ryan, same awesomeness.


Beautiful people…

Jill and her little…

I absolutely adore this shot captured during the ceremony, by my partner in crime, Laura Finley.

Beautiful Maids of Honor and bride…

Are you kidding? I love them!!!
