Edward, Ed, Eddie

Edward is my name (it sounds so formal to me.)  Some people call me Ed, but when introducing myself to people the sound of “Ed” can be heard as Ted, Al, Ned, or a number of other names.  So I stick to Edward. When my wife (Julie) is happy with me, she calls me Eddie.  I love it when she calls me Eddie.  Either way, this is me.

 

I’m a father to three beautiful children Charlie, Jacob, and Catherine and they are my world.  Here they are on a recent vacation to New York.  This was supposed to be a serious photo, but there’s always one of them that is laughing.  I love them.

 

I’m married to the most amazingly talented woman Julie.  She’s an amazing mother, a crossfit gymnastics instructor, a helper to those in need, and a friend to many.  My world lights up when she enters the room, and she’s my best friend.

 

I love photographing weddings.  I was hooked after my first one.  At the end of the wedding my feet hurt and I was exhausted, and I said to myself “I have got to do this again.”  I love the laughter, the smiles, the tears, the first dance, Daddy Daughter dance, the groom when he sees his bride for the first time, the father of the bride when he sees her in the dress for the first time,   the flowers, the dancing, and everything in between.

Here’s a video of me doing what I love to do.

 

If you’re interested in getting to know me better, you can find me on twitter, facebook, my blog, and a few other places.  Here they are if you’re interested in having a conversation.

Elise and Grant Anniversary

It’s a true love story. I had the pleasure of witnessing Elise and Grant say “I do” in 2010, and for their anniversary Grant had a master plan. Grant divulged his plan to me at one of the Lake Orion Football games, and he asked me to be involved.  For their first anniversary he arranged for the hall (Boulder Point) to give them a private dinner with the same meal.  Elise loves cake, so he had an anniversary cake made that matches their original wedding cake.  When I arrived I noticed that Elise had a permanent smile on her face from the whole evening.   We went out on the course for a few portraits and found the hill where we captured one of their favorite wedding photos.  Here’s the original photo and the anniversary photo side by side.  Congratulations Elise and Grant.  It was an honor to be your wedding photographer and to witness the true love that you have for each other.

Jillyan and Chad Married – Detroit Yacht Club Wedding

The dress… Vera Wang.  The location… Detroit Yacht Club. The weather…. perfect.  Jillyan and Chad met on the grounds of the Detroit Yacht Club to exchange rings, kisses, and to become husband and wife.   As they saw each other for their first look I couldn’t help to be emotional when seeing Chad’s face when he saw his bride for the first time in her wedding dress. It was truly beautiful.   Jillyan’s bridesmaids peeked in on the meeting and you could hear a collective “awwwwwww” as Jillyan and Chad kissed.  Here are a few of my favorite images from that day.

Engagement Session Promo Video

 

A sample engagement session shot on the campus of Michigan State University with Amanda and Ronnie.  The intent of this video is to give you an idea of how I work during an engagement session. Every wedding package includes an engagement session in order to give us an opportunity to get to know each other and to prepare for photography on the wedding day. Lean more about wedding photography by Edward Maurer.

 

Special thanks to Andy Owen of Owen Video for producing the video.  He’s an amazingly talented wedding videographer and a pleasure to work with.
