Jamie and Aaron | Pine Knob Mansion Wedding | 10.29.11

This wedding was very fun and relaxed. I really loved all the couples cool decor ideas and the whole wedding really captured their personalities.  The Bride’s dress was a custom design off an existing dress and was just stunning on her! The wedding was held at the Pine Knob Mansion, I had never been there before but was very impressed by the space.  Mother nature played a part in this beautiful day as well, for being late October the sun was shining and though it was a bit chilly the outdoor ceremony was amazing and everyone really loved the day.  Here are a few of my favorites.

Loved their favors! She had a ‘farmers market’ set up for her guest to fill up a bag of local produce to enjoy.  What a sweet idea! 

The back of her dress was so beautiful.

Anxious groom.:)

That is one seriously good looking couple, am I right?!

I love this one!

Touching toasts from Mom and Dad.

A little addition of Mardi Gras to the party was fantastic!

Congrats Jamie and Aaron! It was a delight to be a part of your day and I wish you both the best!  Call me when you start making some crazy adorable babies.:)

stunning!

Pine knob mansion is GORGEOUS… I watched the most beautiful sunrise I’ve ever seen in Michigan there a year or two ago (I did a photoshoot for a bridal company)… the whole place is amazing.

Charlotte and Justin | Smitten

Charlotte and Justin are getting married next year at one of my favorite places, Mill Creek Barn.  We took their engagement photos a few months ago in Grand Rapids and it was an adventure to find one another that morning.  It happened to be the morning of the Grand Rapids Marathon and of coarse our planned meeting space was smack dab in the middle of it.  To make things a bit more complicated they brought their wicked awesome tandem bike with to be a  part of the photo-shoot, so trailer in tow does narrow your parking possibilities.  After kind of figuring out how we could find one another I got a bit stuck and decided to just walk the last few blocks to where they were only to find out I was on the wrong side of the runners to get to them.:)Luckily there was a very kind police officer to help me run my way across the thick field of runners. What a morning!!  After that adventure it was a breeze taking beautiful images of this adorable and stylish couple.

Happy New Year! Going to be another amazing one for Arrae!

Beautiful photos as usual!

Jennifer and Brian | 10.15.11 | Frankenmuth Wedding

Jennifer and Brian live in Boston and had an awesome destination wedding in Frankenmuth, MI.  Though I didn’t know much about this town before spending time with them there I’m now pretty smitten and can’t wait to take my kids there!  Jennifer is from Michigan and had fond family memories of Frankenmth that were her inspiration for the wedding location.  Not only was the location amazing her including gnomes and a Oktoberfest theme really put this wedding over the top for me.  I have no idea how this lady was able to pull together such a detailed theme so far away from the weddings location but it was killer! Great work Jennifer!!

How sweet is her ring. Love it!

First look, Brian was so enamored with his beautiful bride! 

Love this lucky catch. It was so windy!

Very cool Bavarian Inn where the wedding and reception took place.

Memorial candle for Jennifer’s Father that passed away only weeks before the wedding.  Jennifer was very close to him and the day was also a very special memorial of him and their special relationship. 

Married!!

Jennifer’s amazing details.

Sweet moments of Mother and Daughter during their dance.  Dad’s presence was very much felt. 

Time to put your party shoes on. 

A little sneak out for some late night pictures. 

Thanks so much for letting me be a part of your amazing day Jennifer and Brian! It was so great to get to know you both and your wedding was AWESOME!
