Michelle and Nick's Wedding

We really couldn't be happier with the weddings we have been privileged enough to shoot lately. We had been dying to snag a wedding at Chicago's Salvage One, and were thrilled when Michelle and Nick asked us to shoot their wedding at this exact site! I went a little early to get some details I knew I might not have time for otherwise and was glad I did, because the weather decided not to cooperate that day -- tornadoes and such -- no big deal ;)

Michelle and Nick had such a clear vision for their day, and it came together seamlessly. They had to adjust for the weather, but one would have never known it wasn't their original plan! I had so much fun with them, and was so glad I was able to be a part of their day.

Please enjoy some of my favorite photos from this beautiful couple's wedding:

Congratulations, you two!

Alexandra and Matt's Wedding

I have been dying to get these photos up on the blog! Alexandra and Matt's wedding in Detroit, MI was so much fun to shoot! These two amazing people were as relaxed and as easy-going as it gets, and it made my job a breeze. I had a lot of fun choosing portrait locations to shoot at, starting at the Eastern Market in Downtown Detroit and then heading over to the Heidelberg Project for some more portraits.

Their wedding site was the historic Cliff Bell's, a premier, art-deco Jazz lounge, in downtown Detroit. It was amazing, and I was thrilled with it's authenticity.

Here is just a sampling of my favorite images from their day:

Congratulations, Alexandra and Matt! It was such a pleasure to work with you!

Jayme and Jon's Wedding

The last weekend of April was slated to be wicked stormy. But, as Jen and I headed down to St.Louis for our friends', Jayme and Jon's wedding, we were delighted to find that the rain held off! They had an incredibly beautiful day, and we were able to go to several locations for portraits after their ceremony. We were even able to get some photos with their adorable rescued "boys", Harry and Bean :)

We had a blast hanging with Jayme and Jon all day long, and all the sites they brought us to were beautiful. We couldn't have asked for a better day, or be happier for the two of them!

Congratulations, you two!!
