Alaina and Rodrigo.......June 7th, 2009

I am off on my way to a much needed vacation. With three weddings this weekend all in a row, I would say it's much needed:) Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love what I do! I wanted to post some photos from our Sunday wedding before we leave! I think three in a row is a first for us, and although it was a whirlwind of weddings, none were less important or less unique than each other. 

This past Sunday was absolutely beautiful and filled with calm, joy, and just plain fun! Alaina was breathtaking, beautiful, and so laid back about her day. Rodrigo and his boys made us feel like a part of his family. This ceremony was so charming, I still get chills just thinking about it. Rodrigo kept his eyes closed from the moment the last bridesmaid walked down, while he waited for his bride to stand next to him, he savored that moment before he opened them back up. It was precious, savoring joy and every moment. She surprised him with a song, and when she was done, he surprised her back with his own song. I had to try my best not to let the tears flow that had welled up in my own eyes. They spoke of getting old, appreciating the wrinkles of time, and when things were to get rough, as life goes, they would be strong for each other. 

There wasn't a dry eye in the room. These two were made for each other. The rest of the day played out, I felt honored to not only photograph their wedding, but to feel so apart of both of their families! Thank you Alaina and Rodrigo! You two are why I enjoy what I do! Happy viewing! I will be back in town next week......

Updates!

Hello Everyone! We have been sooo busy with weddings and no time to blog! Now we are taking a trip down south, so before we go I wanted to post some pics from our last wedding of our busy weekend! 

Jeff and Terri's Wedding....May 23rd.

A beautiful day. A wonderful couple. Two people who belonged together. Clearly in love. What a joy to shoot. I know I always say that. But I do love my "job". A few pics from the day.....Thank you Jeff and Terri for letting us be apart of it!

May 16th....Ann Arbor Wedding. A few shots from the day!

Remember the wedding on February 14th, Andy and Krista? Well, I do....it was fun and their family was warm and welcoming. We had a cold day for shooting, but it was anything but cold as far as the wedding went. Andy's sister Mary got married this past Saturday in Ann Arbor. And guess who got to shoot it? We did!! It was like shooting your own family's wedding.....familiar faces, warm spaces, and guess who was in the bridal party? Andy and Krista! So, here are a few pics from the 2000 we shot. Yes, 2000....I don't know how it even happens:)! Below is a shot of the four of us that they wanted to take....Enjoy all! 

Recent shoot....of course!

Gabrielle Hailstone.....what a hoot! She could come with me to every shoot! A few pics from our day today....
