Jill + Kevin Are Married!

ceremony: Cathedral Of the Most Blessed Sacrament
reception: Gem Theatre
florist: One Enchanted Evening
brides gown: Demetrios
band: Even Exchange

Jill and Kevin know how to have a good time. Their reception band, Even Exchange, kept everyone boogying all night. I don't remember the last time so many people were constantly on the dance floor. I couldn't find a web site for the band but Jill told me that they play at Club Bart in Ferndale all the time.

Jill and Kevin are part of this awesome group of people that we have the pleasure of getting to know and photograph over the last few years. There were 3 couples there whose weddings we had photographed and one other friend whose t-shirt line, Detroit Retro Rags, we have worked with.


I love Jill's intensity:

Kevin having a good time with the guys getting ready:



I really love this shot:
Jill was bride perfection! I think her makeup was done at Flip Salon and wow, they did good:

The Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament is one of the most beautiful churches we have in this area:

I never don't love this shot:

Sweet bridal party shot:

Some alone time with Jill + Kevin for posed shots:





Dancing in the theatre:

This makes me smile every time I see it:



Rings on ice cream!:

Erica + Andy Got Hitched!

ceremony: Redford Theatre
reception: The Gazebo
cupcakes: The Cupcake Station
videographer: Epic Motion

Erica + Andy. Wow. I think the four of us were a perfect match. The ceremony was at an old awesome theatre in Redford. It made an great backdrop for portraits (as you'll see I couldn't pick only a few to show!).

This might be one of my all time fav dress shots:



Erica + Andy saw each other before the ceremony to do photos. Here she is coming to see him:

They were happy to see each other!:


Super rad staircase shots:
I love this a super lot:

I also love this a super lot:

A moody indoor portrait:

Sweet unity candle shot:

Some canoodling during the ceremony:


Super cute:Since Andy is in the Navy, they have to move away from all their friends & family right away. I think that makes them a little sad. I love the emotion in this shot:

Watching their "love story" video from Epic Motion during the reception - one of may favs from the whole day:

Seriously, aren't they too much!?:
The BEST wedding dessert anyone can have? CUPCAKES!:

Rings on a Navy symbol thingy, I felt it was appropriately cool:

Erica + Andy - we love you. We wish you weren't moving away (so does everyone else, it seems). Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your day. You were incredible to work with and to photograph.

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!

Grandma puts on Beth's necklace:

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:
