Beth + Keith = totally awesome wedding!

ceremony: Burgh Historical Park, Southfield
reception: The Mirage
flowers: Vivianos
cake: Iversons
DJ: the one and only Mary Ann Ross!
officiant: Miriam Jerris of the Wedding Connection

Beth + Keith are kick ass. I think we may now officially be the wedding photographers for all cool people everywhere. I feel a real connection to Beth + Keith because they, and their wedding, reminded me so much of Nate and I and are our own wedding. They are not afraid to be different and they not afraid of color. We took a few "normal" posed shots at their ceremony site, but after that, we went over to the Riverwalk and a super awesome graffitied abandoned building in the Eastern Market. Brides and grooms often feel bound by tradition on their wedding day, but not these 2, and I love them for it!

Cool outdoor ceremony site:





Oh my goodness, I couldn't love this more!!:




I don't even know what to say... this is wedding portrait heaven:

I mean, really, what could be better? We were on the verge of creating some really intense portraits of these guys when our time was cut unexpectedly short. This was just the beginning of what we had planned and hope they will go back here with so we can finish what we started:

First dance:



How cool is this?! Engagement photo + Jones Soda = exciting!!!


Super rad cake (another non-white cake!! We are on a roll):


I dig this shoe shot a lot:

Sue + Mark are Married!

ceremony: First United Methodist Church, Birmingham
reception: Red Run Golf Club
flowers: Westborn Market
DJ: Paul Buck from Mike Staff
cake: Josefs, Grosse Pointe

Sue + Mark had one beautiful wedding! The weather may have been a challenge at first, but it changed it's mind when it really mattered and we got some gorgeous portraits done at the Golf Club. Sue wins my award for most kick a** dress so far this year! It was super awesome. It had this cut out back thing going on and it was super classy from the front and so sexy from the back! Anyhow, let's enjoy some images from this wedding:


Sassy ladies (LOVE the yellow BM's dresses):

One of my favorite shots of Sue:

Owen the Boston Terrier

Owen is the pooch of our vets over at Little Friends of Ferndale (248.414.5363). He is always walking around the vet office in various outfits and accessories. He is a superstar with probably more friends than me. He may be the most famous dog in all of Ferndale even!

We were so excited to photograph him and his adorable expression. Yes. His tongue does always stick out like that. Don't you LOVE him?!


He sported his bow-tie:

One of my favs:



He lets his tongue hang on the floor:



So handsome!:
