I don’t even know where to start this one!! Derek is the brother of one of my best friends growing up and I’ve known him since he was little. I was so excited when he reached out to me almost 2 years ago about photographing his & Chelsea’s Colony Club wedding at the end of June!

They say mother know best, and that was certainly the case for Maureen & Josh!! Josh’s mom and Maureen taught together at the same school. The entire school year, his mom kept telling Maureen that she wanted to introduce her to her son Josh.

Sam & Marina’s wedding day started downtown at the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center! Marina’s mom and sister helped her into her beautiful beaded mermaid dress from Allesandra Bridal and Sam’s dad and future brother-in-law helped him into his tux and straightened his bow-tie.

Lauren & John’s love story was a long time in the making. They were engaged for four years and a few weekends ago, they were pronounced husband and wife in the outdoor garden at Lovett Hall! Lauren’s dad walked her down the aisle to John, who wiped tears from his eyes throughout the ceremony.

Katie wore a beautiful champagne wedding dress fit for a princess as she walked down the aisle with her dad to where John was waiting. It was only fitting that she wore that type of dress because she got engaged in front of Cinderella’s castle at Disney World when John dropped down to one knee and asked her to marry him.  

Courtneay & Josh were married this past Saturday at the Grosse Pointe War Memorial! Even though it rained and their ceremony had to be moved inside, they didn’t let it dampen their mood one bit! 

The day started at the Westin Book Cadillac hotel downtown.
