The morning started with Angela and her bridesmaids getting ready at The Henry in Dearborn, MI. Angela, along with most of her bridesmaids, flew into town from Oregon to celebrate her big day with her at Addison Oaks Buhl Estates in Leonard, MI. There was so much excitement, energy and laughter in the room as they got their hair and makeup done, despite an early AM wakeup call! My favorite part of their day was probably their first look when Sean saw his beautiful bride for the first time. The reaction on his face says it all! Angela was just an unbelievably stunning bride! After the first look and portraits, Angela and Sean were married outside in the gardens where they had a beautiful half Romanian/half American wedding ceremony. There were tears shed, including some by Angela’s dad, and there was so much love all around them on their big day! Angela and Sean, thank you for allowing me to capture day one of your marriage! All the love, Jen.
Most days you'll find me sitting at my kitchen counter, clad in a mix of J.Crew and Zara (in neutral colors, of course), pouring my heart into this business of mine while dancing along to my latest Spotify playlist and sipping on a cup of hot tea. I'm an award-winning, published wedding photographer that is obsessed with all things classic and elegant. I'm a former California girl, but a true Midwesterner at heart. I love warm hugs, live music and getting texts from my brides that they cried when they saw their wedding photos!! I live for mornings on my yoga mat and green juice after. Among friends, I'm known for never missing an episode of The Bachelor on Monday nights, overusing exclamation points, and disliking coffee (but loving coffee shops)!
