Before I let you enjoy the sneak peak: yes, I know I’m way behind blogging – it’s the time of the year I’m struggling to keep up. I have 4 super rad weddings to post  (including this one) so check back soon.

Here are some of my favorites:

Book Cadillac - Italian Garden

Rolls Royce Phantom

Venetian Ballroom at Westin Book Cadillac

First dance

Stephenie and Travis chose The Atheneum Hotel for the reception. I never photographed there before and was very excited to finally have the opportunity. That place is a photographer’s dream. With countless amazing locations  I could spend whole day just walking around and getting cool shots, but there is never enough time on a wedding day Time shortage is my biggest enemy, and wedding photographers have always to work super fast to use it to the fullest advantage.

I also wanted to give a shout out to great DJ Joe Nagraba from Ultimate Entertainment. Joe is also a singer and plays guitar. If you’re looking for entertainer for your event give him a try.

I’ll shut up now. Here are some of my favorites. Hope you enjoy them.

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

I wanted to share with you Keith and Nicki’s amazing wedding. The couple couldn’t choose a better location to get married. It perfectly fits their personalities. I’m talking about Seldom Blues in downtown Detroit, with spectacular view of the Detroit River and Windsor skyline. This place is a wedding photographer’s dream with great lighting and countless cool spots that can be incorporated into shots.
I’m not big on writing and I rather let photography tell a story so I created a short slideshow with highlights of the day. It’s not a small file so give it a few minutes to download once you hit the ‘Play’ button – I promise it’s worth the wait.

It’s been a while since we photographed Sosi and Aram’s fabulous wedding. I’m probably the only photographer that provides images first and blogs the wedding later. Shouldn’t it be the other way around?…

Nevertheless, here we are and what a wedding it was! Hmm, how would I describe it in one word? Party! Yes, one huge party that started early in the day, way before the reception What fun! Being surrounded on the dance floor by 400 dancing wedding guests is an experience to be remembered for sure.

Reception was held at Shenandoah Banquet, Golf and conference Center in Bloomfield Hills, MI.

I also wanted to give a shout out to Ryan from Epic Motion who was shooting video. Ryan is a great guy and his work is outstanding so check him out if you are looking for a videographer.

Finally about the pictures. Today since this post is so long overdue a little different approach with the slideshow instead. It’s a big file and may take a while to download depending on your Internet connection, but should be worth the wait. Enjoy!

No matter how much time you spend planning you can never do anything about the weather. I was always drawn to shoot the wedding in the rain and little rain is good – nobody minds sneaking outside for a few shots. It was pouring hard that Saturday and few people want to get soaked when dressed up however

Wedding ceremony took place in Sainte Anne de Detroit and reception followed at The Grosse Pointe War Memorial. War Memorial is a beautiful location and I was a little bummed we couldn’t shoot due to a weather.

Huge thanks to Duane Orris for helping with equipment and getting some really outstanding shots (I’m jealous of some he got with guys outside)

Also in the box…

This was taken by Duane who stayed with Marco and groomsmen. I’m seriously jealous about this shot

We took this one just outside Shannon’s room – I love the lighting

I love this shot with Dustin chillin’ while everyone is running around to get in position

We wanted to get some night shots taking advantage of the city lights, but Tigers played against Kansas City that night and there were thousands of people on the streets slowing us down a little. Nevertheless, we got some really cool shots so it was worth it.

As always I’m behind blogging so to the pictures, as I want to blog at least one more wedding tonight

They started dating 10 years ago, and officially became a couple in 2005.

They planned beautiful reception at the Pine Knob in Clarkston, MI and the ceremony took place at the Bridgewood Church.

After shooting their engagement session I was super excited about their wedding and couldn’t wait to photograph it. It’s hard to believe it’s been a month since their big day. In fact, they just got back from their honeymoon in Italy. I wanna see some pictures from the trip

Today, more pictures then usual. I’m trying to make up a little for being so far behind with blogging

Anyway, back to their marvelous wedding. The wedding was absolutely gorgeous and one can only imagine how much planning and work went into putting everything together.

Ceremony and reception was held at elegant Royal Park Hotel in Rochester, Michigan, which is just wonderful to photograph.

Mike and Julie decided to see each other before the ceremony and that was really cool, because we could cover B&G and family shots then, so the couple could enjoy the cocktail hour with their guests.

Some of my blog readers asked me what’s taking so long updating my blog, and as you can see I’m way behind and have a lot of catching up to do. I’m trying…

Kristin is Greek, Rick is British. They used to live in Fiji, and now they are moving to Caribbean. FIJI and CARIBBEAN! Tell me you wouldn’t like to have their life, at least for a while

They already got married in Fiji, and this was their ‘official wedding’. Here are some of my favorites:
