Engagement | Lauren & Bill



Lauren and Bill are such a sweet couple. They're getting married this fall and to be honest, they look like it -- Kissy Kissy Smoochie Smoochie -- gotta love all that snuggling!



I love Lauren's hair here. I know it's messy, but it's so cute. I hope she doesn't hate me for posting it.



I like the second one here because of the way Bill's looking at his bride-to-be.
Yup, he's in loooove!



A quiet corner for some more kisses...






My artsy side got a hold of me for this next series of black and whites.




But it's hard to keep thinking black and white when Lauren has gorgeous-beautiful eyes. The color of her eyes is so striking because it's such a pure, clear blue. Beauty!!



These guys are good sports. They came out to Ann Arbor and I dragged them alllllll over. We went to the UofM Central Campus, North Campus - we trekked up and down, hills and stairs, around in circles, getting lost (oops) and they put up with me through all of it! Here's the tuckered out couple, all relaxed and happy to be going home. I'm sorry for keeping you guys out so long :)




Thanks for coming out to see me and I'm super excited to see you guys again for the big day! Yayyy!!
Congrats on your engagement and on your love!!

Wedding | Molly & Robert

I was so happy to shoot with Nicole Ladonne again so soon!  Nicole is an awesome photographer, an awesome person, an awesome director, an awesome inspiration.
She's cool.  I like her.  I'm glad she likes me!!  (I think she likes me...)

Molly & Robert were married at St. Rene Goupil Parish in Sterling Heights.






A roller-skating rink was *definitely* a unique idea!!
I was immediately transported back to the 80's and childhood birthday parties.







When Nicole and I arrived at The Gazebo for their reception, we were greeted with these brightly-colored yummies!  It was soooo hard to keep my greedy fingers away from them!!








I love boys... this one was fun.




An artsy one...


And a fun one...


And my proof pic that I shoot with Famous People... Hi Nicole!! Thank you!!!

Wedding | Anna & Loren

I was fortunate enough to meet another very awesome photographer who is worthy of admiration.  Nicole Ladonne is SO easy to get along with, it's no wonder why everyone loves her. When she asked if I could shoot with her, I jumped at the chance.

Anna and Loren were married on a beautiful Monday afternoon.
Monday, you say?  Hey, why not... I got married on a Thursday :)



Anna has a beautiful cat - very striking eyes.


They were married at St. Mary's Student Parish in downtown Ann Arbor.


After the ceremony, we went for a walk around the UM Campus and back to Kerrytown.  I grabbed some extra portraits from different angles, and a couple silly candids.  Nicole is a master at directing couples and picking spots.











I always have to have some sort of proof when I say that I get to shoot with Famous People.

Nicole, thanks for bringing me along :)

Anna and Loren, best wishes for a very happy future!
