Wedding | Kate & Lars

I had another opportunity to shoot with Nicole Ladonne a few weeks ago at Kensington Court. She always gets such fun-loving, outgoing clients. Kate and Lars are a perfect example.

Here's Kate, right after she put on her extremely beautiful, intricate dress! She's so excited! And rightfully so!! She looked absolutely amazing.

Oh, and did you check out the shoes? Sexxxxxxxy heels!!!

So then it was time for some nice, normal portraits of the family.....

They had a very sweet and emotional ceremony. It was obvious how happy they were.

YAYYYYYYY!!!!!!

I love how warm and romantic this image is of Kate....

... but if you put it into context, it's really takes on a different meaning!

Kate and Lars are naturals for the camera. Nicole, who is a master at directing couples, just put them in a beautiful setting and look what happened. Just gorgeous.

Yummmmm.

These two moved effortlessly through their first dance.

Then they showed their stuff and had fun! I love dancing-faces!!!

Watching from the sidelines.

All together now: Awwwwwwwwwww!!!

Right before we were done for the night, Nicole scouted some great spots and these two images are definitely some of my favorites. Sooo romantic and beautiful.

Congratulations Kate and Lars! Thank you, Nicole! :)

Engagement | Meredith & Matt

Ahhhhh.... Sparty. As we all know, Sparty is the well-loved statue of the Michigan State mascot.

Meredith and Matt found each other while they were students. Since I went to the Other College, and they're getting married at MSU, they were kind enough to show me around campus for a day. It was full of lush, green, beautiful trees... and shrubs... and grass and flowers and birds and bees, etc, etc, etc. It was like being at a well-landscaped park.

Back to the crazy good-looking couple.

Matt is going to be famous some day... so you'd better grab this offer while it lasts!!

... although I bet Meredith would have some words for you, if you tried.

She *looks* sweet, but there's definitely some spice.

This is where they first met, in the Department of Theatre. I think that's where they learned the facial-muscle-stretching-loosening -- what exactly are they doing?

Has anyone else noticed how airbrushed they look? I didn't do it. They both just have amazingly smooth, beautiful skin.

Meredith & Matt are my kind of people. Artsy and smart. Fun and practical. Crazy and real. Do you know how hard it is to find people like this??

If these two are your friends, consider yourself lucky.

I thought we were done, but then what did this fun-loving couple do?

Heyyyyyyyy.... Watch that hand!!!

FEET!! Meredith told me NOT to take a picture of her FEET!!

I think of this footprint like it's a step into the future... the very near future...

I'm looking forward to seeing you guys again REALLY soon! Excitement Time!!
