Every shoot I do I really try to keep my eyes open for great accessories, I guess you could call them that, to use In my photos. So we are walking along and there it is – one vintage barbeque. Honestly, It was a little gross to handle but I got it in position and it looked great! Honestly, it was also blue and I had to fix that in PS. Honestly, could you use honestly a little less.:) But still clearly its a great shot. My fav shot. I just wonder what the owner thought when he found his barbeque 50 feet away against the wall…I like to keep people guessing:) Leo I know you still have to comes to term with this image but I think it will grow on you!

This ended up being Vivi and Leos favorite – we called it her Marilyn Monroe shot.

Love the vintage bangles and hat.

Hanit & Andrew made their vows in the late summer of of 2009. They had one of my most elegant weddings of the summer. Andrew is an amazing glassblowing artist whose work sells all over the country. His work is beautiful: http://www.axiomglass.com/ if you are interested. You could tell he had his hand in the design of the whole event because it turned out beautifully.

 Hanit’s beautiful dress.

Hanit Looking so elegant.

Their super cool dog Nietzsche hooking it up for the Humane Society.

The Wabeek Country Club has some great Vistas but I could resist this great wall next to the dumpster – love the texture and look.

This is what you call perfect wedding weather. It was 75 degrees nice.

Could be the cutest…

The design of the Ceremony was just gorgeous. I love the branches and delicate white flowers. Such a beautiful accent as Hanit Processed.

My Favorite Image from the wedding.

I photographed Lauren & Seans wedding at the end of July. They had a beautiful day and held their ceremony and Reception at Knollwood CC in West Bloomfield. DeeDee Hoffman the wedding coordinator scheduled the Ceremony for right at sunset and the light was beautiful. I love the shtos of their parents and the expression on their faces during the beggining of the ceremony. I love the shot of their chuppa as well – I think it looks like the garden of eden. Oh and the creme brulle was just amazing – if you wondering why you didn't get any you may have to blame me. It made it into this collection for its sheer tastiness. Here are a few of my favorites starting with the rings and invitation.

It was madness and chaos – I don't know how I got this close with my fisheye!

Is it just me or did this Kid learn to dance from Elvis?

Wow so  good.

Love the layering here and the ability to see Sean and Laurens expression during the speech.

Love the lens flare – Makes the frame that is filled with perfect expressions just move.

Lauren & Sean both met Via an internet dating service so they decided to put up their profiles for all to read. So cool!

The warm welcome of a gorgeous reception.

This was the perfect cake for their wedding. Flowing and elegant.

Yes!!

I just thought the colors of the dress, tuxedo and flowers really blended well here.

Their Adam and Eve shot.

During the vows.

Right after Sean walked down the aisle.

Another emotional hug.

This was the gorgeous light I was talking about. What a great time for a ceremony.

I like this shot of the chuppa just because of the way the trees move. I photographed the scene off the reflection of a window. The screen and distortation of the glass created the movement.

On of the most intense moments during the day. Sean and Lauren both promised themselves to each other before the ceremony and this right after Sean teared up. I'm an emotional guy to so I understand.

Love the just natural expression here before we took a few photographs of the wedding party.

While this photograph is not the typical I like it because Lauren and Sean had a very formal wedding. I see this a throw back to the regalness of ages past blending with the new.

During the make up session – I love this shot. Lauren is just beautiful.

I love this shot of one of DeeDees assistants helping lauren with her shoes.

The Shoes – Love the simple shapes that make this shot work.

I grabbed this gorgeous shot while lauren was having her make up done. Don't ask me how I got above her like this. Long story.

From Viva Las Vegas heading out to Fiji to do a Trash the Dress bridal shoot I wanted to give a little taste of one of the highlight weddings of my spring. Sharyn & Peter were married in Phuket Thailand in Late April and their weddng was gorgeous. Trisara Resort is one of the premiere resorts on the whole Island. Their ceremony started right on the beach and lead to the reception held on one of Trisaras 4000 square foot residences. Two days after the wedding Sharyn Peter and I took a longtail boat out to Pnang Nga Bay to do a day after shoot. All of it was like a fantasy for me and I’m sure Sharyn and Peter felt the same. Take a look at their highlight slideshow.

Here are a few of my favorites –

Kristina and Michael were married this early Spring at St. Johns. They had a gorgeous wedding and she was such a gorgeous bride: so elegant! I wanted to share a few of the photographs that I really liked and that I think really all the effor that was made for this wedding.
