Throughout the majority of Lindsay and Corbin's wedding day at The Valley in Ann Arbor, MI we were dodging rain clouds! Thankfully for Lindsay and Corbin, these little bursts of rain seemed to last about ten minutes at a time every half hour. So for those thirty minutes between showers, the sky became this amazing overcast texture and was rain-free for them! . . .
Read MoreI'm not sure how to sum up the amazing-ness that was Megan and Shawn's wedding day. . . 1. I love that I have the opportunity to work with truly awesome couples and Megan and Shawn's attitude was phenomenal despite a few weather and transportation setbacks on the day! 2. ALL THE FEELS for these guys as Megan walked down the aisle! Ahh I couldn't wait to share those emotion-filled moments as Shawn saw his beautiful wife-to-be walking towards him! These organic, natural, honest moments are what feeds my creative soul. 3. I capture a ton of gorgeous weddings in all colors, but it's not often that a vibrant color scheme of reds is used! Plus I love that it was Shawn who ultimately decided that red be their wedding color! Megan's bouquet was a mix of so much color and texture and was so different. I think it's so great when couples just go with what they want and infuse their personalities into their day! . . .

As we chatted about their wedding plans and I discussed my approach to wedding photography in more detail, Nick was one of the most inquisitive and enthusiastic grooms I have ever met. . .

Read MoreEmily and Taelor really enjoy being creative and I loved all of the personal details that they incorporated into their wedding day to showcase their personalities. Emily and Taelor also placed a high importance on their wedding photography and were game for any of my requests! I think that because Emily and Taelor were able to have an engagement session with me last fall, it played a vital role in how smoothly all of their wedding day portraits went! . . .
Read MoreIn the past couple of weeks, the importance of family has become paramount to me. Both of my parents recently were hospitalized, at the same time, for potential life-threatening illnesses, and every day I am EVEN MORE thankful for the blessing of my family. This is one reason, amongst so many others, why I loved spending Jenny and Pat's wedding day with them; it was all about family and being together! . . .

BUT that they were starting to plan their wedding and were curious about my availability between July and September! . . .
