Courtney & Dave | Engagement

Oakland University holds a special place in Courtney and Dave’s hearts, so it was only natural that for their engagement session we meet up there for pics.  It was a little windy, but other than that quite perfect and it was great to see how quickly the two of the became comfortable in one another’s arms…the most natural way:) I had lots of fun you two and thank you once again for choosing such a great location!

Jessica & Eric | Engagement

I met up with Jessica and Eric in one of the larger parks in the area…Kensington Metro.  It took me a while to get there, but once I did and hooked up with the two, it was great!  Another gorgeous fall day with yet another cute and fun couple.  Very much looking forward to their wedding on my brothers birthday next June.  Thanks for being so great in front of the camera you two…I hope you like what we got!

Kara & Jonathan | Lifestyle

You might remember Kara and Jonathan from this past summer…I photographed their wedding in June.  We never got around to doing an engagement session, so we met up when I got back from the east coast and did a lifestyle session in the “D.”  I had a great time photographing the two of them again…it’s always nice to work with people more than once, it’s much “easier” on everyone, as the relationship between me and them has already been established, which I feel is the most important part of engagement sessions.  (That was a big run-on sentence;))  Kara and Jonathan were themselves, so naturally they were able to work it for the camera a little bit.  Thanks you two, so great to see you and hear about married life…enjoy:)

Erin & Nic | Wedding

Erin and Nic were married on a very special and important day to me.  October 31st, while many of you know this day as Halloween, I know it as my mom’s birthday and now Erin and Nic’s anniversary!  That coupled with autumn easily being my favorite season, really put me in a great mood to have fun with Erin, Nic, and their friends and family on such a special day.  It was a little chilly and a bit windy as well, but Erin, Nic and the bridal party dealt with it in style:)

Their wedding did have a lovely autumn theme, with great colors and details.  Ana from Two Foot Creative was there to make sure the day ran smoothly…thanks Ana!  Also, Rock the Booth was there with a photo booth and I have to say, while I have worked with many photo booth companies, I really loved everything about Rock the Booth…can’t reccommend them enough.

The ceremony took place at Knox with the reception following being held at one of my favorite Ann Arbor venues, Barton Hills, which always looks beautiful.  One of the surprises of the evening for me, was the speeches/toasts.  Documenting weddings, I have witnessed many and have heard ones that put tears in my eyes and ones that make me slap my knee laughing.  I LOVED what I heard and saw at Erin and Nic’s wedding…I laughed and cried and had a huge smile on my face.  It was so awesome to see all the great people Erin and Nic have in their lives and after sharing their day with them, I can see why.  To all you speech/toast givers reading this…great job and thank you!

Erin and Nic, you know I had fun on your day and I thank you…I hope you enjoy the images as much as I enjoyed capturing them:)

A little, their view, my view with Rock the Booth!
