Wedding Photographers in Detroit Mi. | Karen & Matt

You first met Karen and Matt a while back during their engagement session, but when it came to them finding Wedding Photographers in Detroit Mi., we were thrilled to spend the day at Edgewood Country Club in early September documenting the next chapter in their love story. Karen and Matt are easily one of the raddest couples we’ve ever worked with. You can read more about their relationship from their Detroit engagement photography session. Karen is super laid back, and has an artful eye because she’s an awesome graphic designer, so her wedding was jam-packed with sentimental details that were skillfully crafted. Karen and her family are from Mexico, so we loved seeing all the cultural elements that she put into her wedding, including a fully loaded candy table with candy directly from Mexico (it made a certain Southern Californian photographer super happy!) and a mariachi band that came and performed at her reception.

Their wedding was one for the books, and they had an absolutely perfect fall weather day for their outdoor ceremony and indoors reception. The day was overcast, and even had a hint of “fall” in the air, because it was in the high 50’s/low 60’s all day. Guests arrived wearing their favorite sweaters, and it was a welcome change from the dreadfully hot weather (at least for us!) that has been around for the past few months. We know that having an overcast day may make some people cringe, however, did you know that having those grey clouds renders some beautiful photos? It really brings out the contrast in colors, and with Karen and Matt’s theme of different colored reds, it was absolutely perfect. The two of them were literally giddy the entire day, and could not stop giving each other compliments and kissing. It was adorable to watch. And, of course, Ginger the three legged chihuahua joined us for a bit, and acted as the cutest flower dog ever. And, after an entire day of sun-less, overcast skies, we were greeted with the most stunning sunset ever. When we saw it, we quickly pulled them outside, and they snuggled by the outdoor fire pit while we took some portraits with the pink and purple sky.

We hope you enjoy this small preview into when we were Karen and Matt’s Wedding Photographers in Detroit Mi. If you’re looking for Wedding Photographers in Detroit Mi., we would love to connect with you.

Wedding Photographers in Michigan | Amanda & AJ

We were thrilled to spend a beautiful early September day with Amanda and AJ being their wedding photographers in Michigan at Black River Country Club. The day was overcast with soft ambient light. The outdoor patio ceremony was followed by a beautiful tented reception. The leaves were just starting to turn and the with temperatures in the mid 60’s it felt like fall-which happens to be our favorite season!

Amanda chose to get ready with just her mom, which we loved. The personal connection and emotions we were able to capture will be the best memories to revisit over the years. Once Amanda got into her stunning corset-backed dress, she let her bridesmaids in for a sneak peek. No one had seen her dress yet so the reactions were priceless! More than a few tears were shed. Meanwhile, AJ spent the morning hanging out at a friends house and then met us on the grounds to finish getting ready. The guys were a rowdy group, but set the tone for a good time!

The ceremony was so sweet with personal vows wrote to each other and followed by family portraits. After that we were off in golf carts to explore the grounds for bridal party and bride and groom photos. I’m not sure what was more fun taking the photos, or the crazy ride avoiding golfers around the course! We had 1.5 hours between the ceremony and grand entrance so we were able to get so many great photos and really take our time. We think Amanda & AJ will have trouble deciding which photos to print first, which is an awesome problem to have!!

The rest of the night was spent dancing, drinking and eating. DJ Lee from Ultimate Sounds kept the dance floor packed. That is not an exaggeration- it was hard to get around the dancers which spread into the table area but we loved jumping right in! The energy and happiness was radiating from all their well wishing guests. We had such a great time documenting Amanda & AJ’s love story! If you’re looking for the best wedding photographers in Michigan, we would love to connect and be your gals!

Saginaw Wedding Photographer | Brooke & Mickey

You may remember Brooke and Mike from their engagement photography session we did in Port Huron, and we were eagerly waiting for summer to be their Saginaw Wedding Photographer team. We drove up and explored the Saginaw area on the last weekend of July, and had an awesome time getting to see Brooke and Mickey again, and hang out with them for the entire day and meet some of their favorite people as they all celebrated their wedding day together.

Brooke and Mike (and their adorable daughter Willow) have been looking forward to this day for quite a while, and all the small pieces of the puzzle went together perfectly. The big thing they wanted to accomplish with their wedding is throwing an amazing party to celebrate, and they accomplished it perfectly. They hired a party bus, and even stopped at the local bar in the middle of the day after portraits were done to simply hang out with their friends and bridal party. We got to see a hysterical side to Mike and Brooke, as they heartily rapped to their favorite jams (do people still say “jams?” in reference to songs?) on the patio, and then it morphed to all the funny dances on the lively dance floor.

Brooke and Mike had their wedding at Apple Mountain in Freeland, and we loved being their Apple Mountain wedding photographer for the day, and exploring some of their gorgeous grounds after their ceremony. Their wedding was behind the Kathleen’s area, and overlooked a pretty fountain and a couple of the ski hills. Our favorite part of their ceremony was when Willow decided she wanted to join in, and Mike picked her up and the three of them stood up at the front and went through the ceremony together. It was so relaxed and low key, and absolutely perfect for their little family. After we did the portraits and hit up a local bar, we headed to their gorgeous reception at The Golden Glow Ballroom in Saginaw. The dance floor was packed all night, and the bouquet and garter toss were seriously hysterical to capture.

I hope you enjoy this small preview into when we were Brooke and Mickey’s Saginaw Wedding Photographer team. If you’re looking for a Michigan wedding photographer, we love exploring our awesome state and traveling in the name of love. Please don’t hesitate to email us.

Macomb County Wedding Photographer | Ashley & Eddie

We got to spend April 28th celebrating the wedding day of Ashley & Eddie Medina and being their Macomb County Wedding Photographer team. The forecast called for rain, but we were pleasantly surprised that it missed us completely. The sun even peaked out a time or two, which helped make the chilly spring day more gorgeous! Ashley and Eddie chose clean and classic (but beautiful!) wedding palette of navy, white, and silver. The girls choose any navy dress they wanted so everyone was comfortable and stylish. Eddie wore a navy suit and the guys wore gray with navy ties, for a perfect balance in contrast. White hydrangeas with many variations of white roses made for simple and stunning decor. All together, the whole day flowed perfectly from start to finish and we were so happy to be there to document it all.

One of the benefits of having two photographers is the ability for us to never miss a moment. For photos of the bride and groom getting ready, Megan hung out with Eddie at home, while Courtney met the bride and her girls at a hotel suite. From there, Courtney was able to stay with the bride before the ceremony while Megan captured the guests arriving. Courtney was able to capture Eddie’s face as he first laid eyes on his bride while Megan was able to focus on Ashley on her father’s arm walking down the aisle. I could continue, but perhaps you get the idea of why two is always better than one.

Ashley and Eddie were married at Trinity Lutheran Church with a reception at Villa Penna. They choose to forgo the typical bridal party photos and allocate that time to just bride and groom portraits at George George Park, and we LOVED it. We were able to focus solely on the new Mr. & Mrs. Medina in a relaxed and un-rushed time frame. After arriving at the reception, the night went on with great food, great music and tons of great times.

Please enjoy this sneak peek into Ashley & Eddie’s wedding day where we had the pleasure of being their Macomb County Wedding photographer. They just arrived back from their honeymoon and we send them the best and warmest blessings and wishes.

If you are looking for a wedding photography team that specializes in capturing your love story in St Clair County, Macomb County, or beyond, we would love to talk more.
