Katie and Joe are engaged!

A while back....yes, sorry guys I'm not on top of blogging yet. Anyways, a while back I had the opportunity to shoot Katie and Joe for their engagement session. I was so excited because I had all these fun ideas to try, the forecast was great, which for Michigan in early May is a super big plus...what could go wrong. Wouldn't you know, literally 5 minutes before we started shooting the skies darkened, the rain started spitting, the temperature dropped, and the wind picked up, seriously picked up. Sometimes you just have to love Michigan's spontaneity... it keeps me on me toes :) Regardless, Katie and Joe were great, we rolled with the weather and turned out a fab shoot. I'm so fortunate to have a mom whose LOVES finding fun new props and taking any shopping challenge I throw her way...love you mommy! Last summer I sent her on a mission to find these vintage frames, I had a vision of apple blossoms and vintage frames so I was dying to finally get the chance to try it. Thanks guys for working with my vision and nailing it! Though the weather didn't work out like we had expected, we really got cool rain clouds and such beautiful color that last few minutes of sun peeking out before sunset. Thanks so much, you guys did so great and are so cute together, it's going to be a great wedding.

love love the colors of the purple dress, and greens!

such beautiful bling

I just love how you guys laugh and smile together, ahhh love, it's beautiful and perfection.

After the excitement of rain and storm clouds we actually had a few minutes of sun! So we enjoyed the little bit of sunset we got :)
ah, purple blossoms....you know I love purple!

see amazing sunset colors for the last few moment of light, it was a mini gift from heaven that evening.

weddings, more weddings, and weddings...oh my!

Wow! It has already been such an incredible wedding season, here's a small sneak of what I've been up to these last few weeks.

Tina and Chad had beautiful wedding (despite the seriously crazy weather) on May 8th in an apple orchard. Spring blossoms came so early this year I was a little nervous that they'd be gone by the time Tina and Chad were married, luckily we found these last few trees still blooming full of that spring goodness. Congrats Tina and Chad, seriously you guys are rockstars. You stuck it out with smiles on your faces despite what we all know was the WORST day in May. Thank you! from the bottom of my heart. You made the day magic :)

Brent and Lauren were married on May 15th, downtown on a gorgeous day with so many awesome vendors, fun friends, and loving family by their side. Congrats to you both! You are such an adorable and beautiful couple. I have sooo many favorites from your big day I can't wait to post more :)
Meghan and Scott are another fab couple married this past weekend, May 22nd. Meghan is a friend close to my heart, she is my hair diva and I feel like I've been so close to her over these last few years as she's gone from a girlfriend eagerly anticipated that shiny diamond ring, to the busy bride-to-be planning her big day, and now the newly married wife. We spent so many hours chatting away about this big day during my salon visits, I couldn't wait to see everything come to fruition. Congrats guys, I hope you're enjoying the honeymoon!

Sarah and Bill are Engaged!

Let me introduce you to Sarah and Bill. I am so excited to head over to Chicago late this summer for their wedding! I grew up in Chicago and I've always wanted to go back, what better reason to head back then for their fab September wedding! Sarah and Bill are so much fun, and were as excited as I was to go to the carnival for their engagement session. Thanks guys, seriously you are a blast and though the ferris wheel was scary .... sorry....the whole evening was such a great time. Can't wait to see you again!

Eeek... a lepoard peep toe, sling back...my true shoe addict favorite.


Whoo, sexy!

I have to say I'm pretty proud of this shot, but you would have had to been their to know why. Firstly, Sarah is not a fan of heights (which I didn't know until too late ...sorry Sarah... thanks for humoring me) Secondly I'm dangling over the edge of the ferris wheel cart trying to get a shot as it's spinning around, Carolina is holding my feet in a panic (she too is afraid of heights), while the wind is whipping us around. It was chaotic, scary, and fun!!! I know I'm a crazy dare devil...but it's in the name of a photo :)

Reba and Andrew are Married!

Last weekend Regina and I shot a fabulous wedding for Reba and Andrew. You may recognize them from their engagement session last summer, check them out here. Thanks to you both, you guys are awesome. I have been anticipating your wedding for a while and I thought everything was incredible, despite the weather. You are both so fun and easy to shoot with, thank you for allowing me to capture this special day! For now here's a quick sneak peek, more soon!
