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 first met with Katy at the Ritz Carlton in Dearborn, MI where she was getting ready. Then quick ride to the Henry Ford as Katy and Matt rented a Ford T to drive around Greenfield Village before the ceremony. I loved the idea! Of course we stopped at a few locations to get some shots of the bride and groom. The ride lasted about one hour and then there was not much time to spare before the ceremony so we had to move quickly.

Henry Ford is one of my favorite locations to photograph weddings as it offers pretty lighting and countless interesting spots to use as a backdrop. Katy and Matt were such a good sports letting me photograph them in editorial style which I lately enjoy a lot in addition to my regular documentary style.

Congratulations again and enjoy the honeymoon!!!

Also, huge thanks to Duane Orris for helping me again. Dude, you rock!!! I really enjoy working with you.

Here are some of my favorites.

I absolutely adore this image. Possibly my favorite shot of the day.

Katy looking gorgeous

I enjoy the lighting in this image

I wanted to spotlight the bride in this image, but also give a hint of the groom in the frame. Video light hits Katy from the side silhouetting Matt.
