Yesterday I had the complete privilege of capturing the story for Jamie and Steve’s wedding day. It was a beautiful day beginning with nervousness, excitement, and ending with complete joy and glee.  The weather in Metamora played nice for us and the rain stopped every time we needed it to.  Jamie and Steve, it was an honor to be there for you yesterday and these are just a few of the beautiful things I saw through the camera lens yesterday.

I stopped by the rehearsal yesterday for Jamie and Steve’s wedding.  Here’s their dog Finney sitting camly while the rehearsal was going on.  I’ve been looking forward to their wedding for a long time and I’m excited for today, going through my morning wedding rituals, and ready to tell the story through my camera.

I met Elise and Grant the other day for a quick engagement session and to meet their new dog Roxanne.  I enjoyed our conversation and photo taking session and I am honored to have the opportunity to capture their wedding later this summer.

Joe and Kate were married last Saturday in Lake Orion at St Joseph Catholic Church. Their reception was in Oxford at a private residence and the entire day was beautiful. The picture above is just a sneak peek to the wonderful imagery captured on this beautiful day.

Meet Kate and Joe.  They met in Australia and have been together for 8 years now.  In two days they are getting married.

Several months ago I received an email from Kate because she was planning a wedding in Lake Orion/Oxford entirely from New Zealand.  We never spoke in person but the tone of their email was enough for me to know that I wanted to be a part of their wedding day.  The engagement session today was a combination of an engagement shoot, a location scout for their wedding pictures, and a visit to the church for their rehearsal.  Most of the pictures I took today were conceptual shots, but I had to share this photo with you.  It’s a shot that I’ve been seeing for years.  I’ve driven down this road many times, and almost every time I have visualized this photo.  Thanks Kate and Joe for helping this photo become a reality.  I enjoyed meeting your family today and I’m looking forward to your wedding on Saturday.

I can’t resist, here’s another shot from today’s shoot.
