Raynetta and Joachim's Wedding by the Lake





This was the an intimate wedding on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan. We had lots of fun shooting outdoors (of course, it's the best) but the house was simply beautiful as well. From the delicious cake to the backyard strewn with rose petals, the toasting glasses, the music, food and the table decor - every detail was created by friends and family of the couple. My fovorite romantic gesture: sand from the beach in Michigan (near the bride's house) and sand from Germany (the groom's home) was combined to symbolize the couple's unity. This is an event I will remember as genuine and sweet, a perfect wedding. I just can't forget the rousing German song of celebration/congratulations that was sung for the bride and groom after the toasts.

Annie & Bobby's Wedding




Being a colorful sort of gypsy-girl myself, I've got to say that I love the green polka dot cake with orchid accents.


This is what I like to call "Magic Light". It makes me feel like I'm peeking into a dream world where everything is mysterious and golden. I just loved Annie and Bobby's wedding, the whole day was beautiful and dreamy, just like the photo.

Anticipation


Annie looking out the window as the guests are being seated. She lookes positively ethereal.

Its Wedding Season!


This is Annie's wedding dress. It is so sassy and vintage, I just love it. It looks like an antique from a trunk in your grandmother's attic.
