Brittany and Dave – Henry Ford, Dearborn, MI

This was my first wedding this season. I always have mixed feelings when starting the season. On one hand it’s so exciting to finally start shooting after a long Winter break, on the other I feel like I’m a little “rusty” and there is some anxiety in the back of my hand if I can deliver. True, I stay busy in the Winter/Spring time shooting lifestyle baby portraits so no need to dust my cameras ;) , but weddings are different – pace is more dynamic. Nevertheless it was fantastic and great fun!

Brittany and Dave are very modern, easy going couple and they leave in a super rad loft in downtown Detroit which I love – high ceilings and huge windows is every photographer’s dream. Brittany told me they wanted some pictures in the back alleys that have that Detroit urban flair and I thought it was a fantastic idea! The whole wedding party made a short stop at Dave and Brittany’s favorite bar – of course another great opportunity for pictures!

Then we headed to the reception at the Henry Ford Lovett Hall and it was wild. Here are some shots…

BTW, for the photographers that e-mail me questions regaring post production – all images are straight from Lightroom, except adding a logo, EXIF data,  and a border around the images – no picture has been hurt in PS ;)

Emma’s 1st B-day!

Emma was born April 15th, 2008 – tax baby, haha.

I cannot believe how fast time flies by, she is already 1 year old and it feels like she was born just yesterday.

Sleeping beauty

We took advantage of a beautiful weather today and took Emma to a playground. When we got home to grab a quick dinner before going for a walk to downtown Royal Oak, Emma was so exhausted she quickly fell asleep with a book in her little hands.

Anyway, I wouldn’t even pay attention to her falling asleep if not for Marzena:

-Look, a sleeping beauty

-Pardon me?

-Look at her book dummy!

Then it finally hit me :) .  I love the moment captured here and find this picture hilarious. Just wanted to share…
