Jasmine and Christopher!

Well Jasmine and Christopher's wedding was wonderful. What a way to start my wedding season! It all took place at the Renaissance Club in Detroit on Saturday, and it was beautiful. I really am lucky to have been a part of this- there is so much love between these two.

I still have a lot to edit, but here is a sneak peek at their photos. Check out this beautiful bride! Click on each photo for a larger view:

Lighthouse.

Since one of my aunts loves lighthouses, I went through some of my personal photos from Mackinac to see if I had anything to give her. I found the photo I wanted to use, played around with it for a while, and came up with this:



I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. Tell me what you think!

Wedding Season!

I am so excited to get this wedding season started! This Saturday, 4/28, I will be shooting the wedding of Jasmine and Christopher at the Renaissance Club in Detroit! Be sure to check in next week to see their photos! This will be the start of what will be a very exciting season- so far 22 weddings scheduled!
Also, the second week of May, I will be flying to DC to attend a OneLight Photography Workshop put on by the amazing Zach Arias. Supposedly, this workshop will change the way I shoot, and I can't wait to learn everything this man has to teach! I'll be rocking out the portraits after this, so if you're interested in getting any portraits done, this is the perfect time to schedule!

Make sure to keep an eye on us this summer, great things are in the works!

Award Winning Photo!
