Bobbie & Robert were married last saturday! you might remember these two from their royal oak engagement session last year. they both teach high school and are so, so cute together! their ridiculously amazing son, Damond, played a big part in their day and had all kinds of ideas for photos! the ceremony was at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in downtown Flint and reception was at Our Lady of Lebanon Banquet Center. New Creations did a beautiful job with the floral and Brett from Liquid Entertainment rocked!

Robert gave this heart to Bobbie when they first started dating, i thought it was sweet that she brought it!

the gorgeous bride …

details, pretty details …

this one of Bobbie is one of my top favs of the day, i just love how everything matched in that bride’s room!

the girls: )

Bobbie, you are stunning!

the groom looking quite dapper himself.

these guys were a riot!

Damond being his cute self.

love these …

Damond had the awesome idea for all the guys to do the robot, i think one groomsman heard walk like an egyption … look at Damond leading the pack, too cute!

the ceremony was beautiful …. this was one of my favorite parts. so sweet.

newlyweds!

love this!

we made a few stops in downtown Flint before heading to the reception

Bobbie & Robert, what a handsome couple you are!

love!

since the bride and groom are both teachers, Robert arranged for a school bus instead of a limo.. it was a really cute touch.

Robert totally surprised Bobbie with a song he wrote for her, it was such a sweet moment.

congrats you three, i am so, so happy for you! i hope you love the photos!!

i have so been looking forward to shooting this wedding! Ashley & Michael, who you may remember from their detroit e-session from earlier this year, are just the sweetest couple and so, so in L-O-V-E! when Ashley told me she was adding vintage door knobs to her bouquet, i knew her style and mine would mesh well! the ceremony and lunch reception took place at the beautiful glen oaks in farmington hills and we made a stop in downtown farmington for some more photos. Erika from eco-posh events was their wedding coordinator and florist and i must say, she did a beautiful job! Joe Poré performed his new hit single “Feel This Way”  and blew us all away with his amazing voice and talent, as Ashley was walking up the aisle and dj show from showtime dj’s provided the entertainment at the reception. the day was perfect!

last year i was ask to be the official photographer of the knot market party, recently published in the fall/winter 2010 issue.  the knot hosts one of these each year for the companies who advertise with them .. it’s always a good time mingling with other like minded wedding professionals: )  of course, i was thrilled to contribute to the event! it was held at the beautiful waldenwoods resort and conference center in Hartland. the party planner was Erika from ecoposh events. the event contributors were all eco-friendly and the knot gave back to the community by making donating to gleaners food bank. if you don’t already have a copy, here’s a peek at the feature:

after meeting Tara & Tyler last year, knew i was going to love shooting their wedding!  they are totally adorable together and Tara had such a vision for all the details …  everything was gorgeous, like i knew it would be! They had their ceremony and reception last saturday at lovett hall at the henry ford in dearborn. after the ceremony we were escorted though greenfield village in a vintage model T to shoot some more photos … so cool! emerald city designs did an amazing job with the floral. Tara’s getting ready photos were shot at the henry, autograph collection (formerly the ritz carlton) and Tyler’s were at the hyatt regency dearborn. a million thank yous to my delightful assistant Jenny. congrats Tara & Tyler!!! I hope you love this preview!

i have known these two for quite a few years now. Alexis started working with my boyfriend, Juan, when i think she was 14. in a way she’s like a little sister to him. we were so happy when we heard Luke had proposed! the engagement party was a few weeks ago … here’s a few photos i snapped.  Alexis & Luke .. you two are ridiculously cute together and so perfect for each other!  i can’t wait to shoot the wedding in september! congrats you two! i hope you love these: )

Chris from AG Chocolates is a friend of the family and brought some amazingly delicious treats to share!

Pamela & Michael were married last saturday at the auburn hills marriott pontiac at centerpoint. i must say, this hotel is beautiful and the the staff were very accommodating. the ceremony was short and sweet.  the wedding party was truly a pleasure to be around, my assistant, Robyn and i had a blast. at the reception, Fletcher from music box productions kept the dance floor moving.
