From the first time I met with Erika and Bobby I knew that this wedding was going to be a great time. My wife and I met up with them just a short time ago to do their engagement pictures in downtown Mt. Clemens and found out a lot about them as a couple, and the part we liked a lot was that they were huggers, as are we. My son John and I had an awesome time with this wedding party and I think once you see some of the pictures you will be able to tell that FUN was the theme for the day. They are off on their honeymoon right now probably sipping a cool drink with a cutesy umbrella, but we can all relive the day with this slideshow. Enjoy!

Last Friday I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Lisa and Andrew at Risen Christ Lutheran Church in Plymouth, Michigan. The rain held off until everyone was inside for the ceremony and then the rain came down in buckets. After the ceremony was over we had a power outage and I was forced to shoot the formal pictures in the dark. I have to admit I have never had to do that before but it all worked out great. The altar area has two windows on the sides that allowed a little light in to use for my background and my battery powered QFlash provided all the light I needed to get through the pictures. After the formal pictures were completed the rain had stopped and we were able to go to a location that Lisa and Andrew had scoped out a few days before the wedding. It was a great location with an old building and truck and the corn field was also a great spot for some pictures. The timing of all of this was incredible. Once we were finished shooting the outdoor pictures we started driving to the reception and the rain came down again in buckets. I think Someone was really looking out for Lisa and Andrew that day. Which doesn’t surprise me now that I know their families better. It was an awesome day with an awesome couple. Enjoy the show!
