Alyssa first met Patrick one night at Michigan State when he was visiting his cousin, Melissa, who was also one of Alyssa’s best friends from her sorority. Alyssa thought they were dating and Melissa laughed as she explained that he was actually her cousin!

Happy Friday friends!!! I have another beautiful wedding to share on the blog today! Samantha and Adam were married this past Saturday just outside of Chicago (if you missed their downtown Chicago engagement session, check it out)!! The morning started at Adam’s parents where his mom helped him put on the traditional Polish wedding dress and Sam’s mom helped her into her gorgeous Olga Cassini wedding dress.

Jillian and Steve were married this past Friday at one of my favorite Metro Detroit wedding venues, The Inn at St. John’s. From the moment I first met Jillian and we bonded over our love of Taylor Swift (she even had it playing the morning of her wedding) and she showed me photos of her stunning dress, I knew she was my kind of bride and have been looking forward to photographing her and Steve’s wedding day for the last 6 months!

I was so excited when I got an email last year from Hannah telling me that she was engaged and asking me to head back down to Cleveland to photograph her wedding. Two years ago, I had the honor of photographing her brother & now sister-in-law’s Windows on the River Cleveland wedding and I was so excited to get to see Laura & Daniel again and get to photograph another Maxwell wedding!
