Justin + Elizabeth | Wedding

I knew Elizabeth from my Village Green days...kinda. I had never met her, but she called me up one day, bc two of her friends were telling her about a photographer, and she realized they were both talking about me. It was so random, she ended up calling to tell me, then decided she wanted me to photography her wedding:) I met her and Justin at Yates Cider Mill for their engagement shoot, and we clicked right away! The way Justin looks at Elizabeth, will make any girl jealous.  They are so cute together, you can tell that they share this special bond. I couldn't wait for their wedding, it was absolutely beautiful. I'm so happy you guys chose me as your photographer, I hope you like your sneak peek! :)

Everyone stood up, and I saw this. Love. ;)





They wanted to go to Opa's in Lake Orion, it's one of their fav bars. These photos were fun!















Loved the speeches! 


Justin's brother saying he was dared to do something, I love Justin's face...he looks nervous!





Justin played with the band at the end of the night, it was awesome!

Amanda + Tom | Love Shoot

I woke up this morning with a stuffy nose and burning eyes. I came downstairs to my sunroom and saw it was bright and sunny, but heard rain on the windows above me? Maybe that has something to do with my allergies being out of wack. Right now Tom and Amanda are in Punta Cana and I am so jealous! Those two are gracing the blog today, and I love them. I went to college with Amanda, unfortunately we never talked, but had random people in common. When she reached out to me, I thought her name looked familiar!  I met her and Tom at Starbucks of course(can't wait to have an office!) and we finally had the chance to get to know each other.  They are so funny together, Tom is hilarious and loves giving me a hard time, but I can take it :) I'm so excited to be a part of their wedding this summer, it is going to be perfect. 

Tom took Amanda to a Tiger's game for their first date, so that's where we headed..downtown to Comerica. We had a ton of fun as usual, I hope you guys have a great time on your trip and I can't wait to be a part of your big day! xoxo



This picture makes me laugh, describes them perfectly!;)

Reunited in DC.

March was a bit of a bad month for me. I lost my uncle to cancer, it was extremely hard, and my heart broke for my family. I also had some other personal things going on and I needed to get away. I called my best friend from HS who is now living in Arlington, VA, and told her I was going to come visit. Emilie Gray is one of my favorite people in the whole wide world. She is the definition of good people. I hadn't seen her in 6 years, it was under bad circumstances, when her father had passed away. And before that, it had been 3 years since I had seen her, way too long! She is one of those people, that whatever you have going on in your life, no matter how bad you're hurting, she makes you feel better. She is probably one of the wisest people I have ever met, and definitely puts things into perspective. Arlington is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been, all the architecture, character, and people, are amazing.  It was just what I needed, I met some great people while I was there, Emilie's friends were so welcoming.  My favorite part wasn't the capital tour or the stores, it was just sitting on the porch swing or staying up all night talking.  I didn't have a chance to take too many pictures while I was there, but here are a couple that describe my trip. I have a ton of catching up to do, so get ready for some sneak peeks today and tomorrow. Happy Wednesday! 

Read book 1 and 2 while I was there, and to say i'm obsessed would be an understatement. :)
I was so in love with their house. I even got my own room, I even loved how it was decorated! Super cozy...oh and I had my own glass shower! :)

My love.
