Josh and I went to this year’s Artini Martini Crawl put on by The Ann Arbor Arts Center. We had a great time going to the different bars and checking out their unique martini drinks. We hooked up with several of our friends and got some fun shots to document the night. Josh’s favorite was a candied apple and cucumber martini from The Black Pearl, but we started out at Vinology with their Apricot Ambrosia.
This is so cool! I found this a few weeks ago and finally got around to posting. I’m glad that this is finally getting national recognition. It is such a fun thing to do with something you will never wear again. I know that there are mixed feelings about it with the older generations, but I don’t think they realize the cost of dry cleaning and preserving a wedding dress these days. It just isn’t worth preserving when you don’t know if you will ever have a daughter, let alone one small/large enough to fit in your dress. That is just part of the battle! Not many girls want to wear an outdated dress (they usually aren’t old enough to be “antique” which is considered unique).
How do you feel about trashing the dress? Do you think it is a tradition that will last or is it simply a fad that will look silly in 20 years?
It was our first Halloween in our new house, so I was super excited about passing out candy to the kids. In our neighborhood they bus kids in because our neighbor has a haunted house that is a huge attraction! I decorated the porch with spider webs and a pumpkin to make it look inviting, and I bought a bunch of candy (too much candy, but I didn’t want to run out) to put in my trick-or-treat bowl. If you know me, then you know how much I love to dress up! I dug through my vintage clothes and found the perfect outfit and accessories, then Josh and I went down to the cemetery and took some pictures. Let me know what you think!
BTW . . . Today is my birthday!!! I can’t believe I am 24 already!!! It feels like time is going so much faster since I graduated from college.
After shooting an e-session with Erin and Matt out in the country on a gorgeous fall day, we all decided to take a ride to the cider mill for some cider and donuts. We had so much fun and the donuts and cider were amazing! Too bad Erin and Matt didn’t find the perfect pumpkins. Thanks for hanging out with us you two!
I was so excited when Aruna B. Photography gave me another opportunity to second shoot with them! I had so much fun the first time that I just couldn’t wait to shoot with them again! They are such a fabulous team and they work with some amazing brides! Michelle and Jeremy we so gracious to allow me to tag along and capture their gorgeous wedding day in Detroit. I had such a fabulous time and I had fun visiting some places that I had never been (DIA, DYC, Motor City Casino, and Belle Isle). I hope you enjoy these images as much as I enjoyed shooting them!
I had a blast with Sarah and her mom downtown Kalamazoo! I was super impressed with Sarah’s outfit selections! She had a portable changing room with at least 10 different outfits in her car. Sadly we didn’t have time for all of the outfits, but we did utilize a good portion of them. Here are some of my favorites from her session.
Josh and I shot our very first wedding together last Saturday in Kalamazoo. We were probably just as nervous as the bride and groom, but we had a wonderful time capturing Shelby and Michael’s special day.
Shelby and Michael,
We hope that God will bless you both and give you a long and happy marriage! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to capture your day! We hope you love the images.

I had so much fun with Grace during her senior photo session! We went to several natural places with tons of beautiful fall colors. We started at Nichols Arboretum on U of M’s campus and ended at Gallup Park. The lighting was spectacular!
I was so excited to be given the opportunity to shoot for Aruna B. Photography at Sarah and Chad’s lovely wedding. The wedding took place at the gorgeous Waldenwoods Resort and Conference Center. It was a perfect fall day for the wedding, which took place on the grounds of the resort, and the details of the day were exquisite. The sunset over the lake was a perfect end to a perfect day. Thank you Sarah and Chad for giving me the opportunity to capture your special day with Aruna! A special thanks to Aruna and Steve for giving me such a fabulous opportunity!
