Meadow Brook Hall Wedding Photography with Emily and Thomas

October 27, 2017 by Hope Leave a Comment

In early October, we had the pleasure of joining Emily and Thomas on their wedding day! We actually met up with them last year when we took their engagement photos at Cranbrook (see those pictures here!). When I say these two are fun, I mean they’re SO FUN! Not only are they beautiful and photogenic, but they’re easy-going, goofy, and all around relaxed people. They are quite literally our favorite kind of bride and groom! Meadow Brook Hall wedding photography is always gorgeous, but in October, it’s practically unbeatable. We love this venue for so many reasons, and you’ll see why once you see their photos!

We started our day at the Royal Park Hotel, where Emily and Thomas got ready for their wedding. Emily stole the show in her stunning fitted, beaded gown by Amelia Sposa, an Italian designer. Emily took a big risk by buying her gown online, but I think we can all agree that it really worked out for her! Emily and Thomas planned a gorgeous wedding, with beautiful fall florals, bridesmaids in burgundy, and groomsmen in blue. After their adorable first look, we headed to Meadow Brook Hall and got some beautiful bride and groom portraits on the grounds. These two keep each other laughing – they could barely keep a straight face for their photos! Keep scrolling to see more of their stunning Meadow Brook Hall wedding photography!

This bridal party looks ready for the wedding ceremony! Their ceremony took place in the beautiful Pegasus Garden. This is Meadow Brook’s most popular ceremony site, as it has a lovely center aisle and a gorgeous fountain in the background. We love getting a birds-eye view of this spot – it’s always a great shot!

These two sure look happy to be newlyweds! After the ceremony, we headed to the tent for their Meadow Brook reception. We love this venue, because every time we enter the tent, it looks different every time! We were so impressed with Emily and Thomas’s decor choices. It was a classy, beautiful fall theme! We’ve never seen the wooden tables before, along with rustic wooden chairs. From the centerpieces to the linens, these two knocked it out of the park. We loved it!

These two were so easy to work with, and they put together a really beautiful day. Thank you so much, Emily and Thomas, for hiring us as your wedding photographers! We couldn’t be more honored to have been a part of your day. We wish you all the happiness in the world!

Westin Book Cadillac Wedding Photography with Jessica and Andrew

September 21, 2017 by Hope Leave a Comment

Earlier this month, we photographed another BEAUTIFUL wedding at the historic Westin Book Cadillac hotel in downtown Detroit. Andrew and Jessica are the dream couple – we had such a fun day with them and their bridal party! Westin Book Cadillac wedding photography never disappoints, because this hotel knows how to do weddings!

We started the day with the bride and groom in their hotel suites. Jessica is an absolutely gorgeous bride in her flowing wedding gown. After the sweetest first look ever, we all piled into the party bus and went to the Detroit Institute of Arts. The large marble walls provided us with a gorgeous backdrop for portraits. The white walls and elegant doors were classic and bridal. And of course, we had to walk over to the front of the building for the iconic photo in front of the main doors.

We arrived back at the Westin Book Cadillac for the beginning of the wedding festivities! We’ve photographed so many Jewish weddings, and this one definitely had some of the most energy and fun we’ve ever seen! The whole family got involved to celebrate these two, and it was amazing for us to see. The ceremony was lovely, and their chuppah was STUNNING. There was so much greenery, it was like they were standing in their own jungle oasis.

Next, we move to the reception, and what an amazing space that was! This bride and groom have seriously good taste! To see a full list of the vendors they hired to make this dream room a reality, see the bottom of this post. From the soft pinks to the patterned linens, this was definitely a unique and custom reception room. Even their cake topper was personal! These two danced the night away and had the time of their lives, and we loved every second of being a part of it!

Thank you so much for letting us be a part of your wedding day, Jessica and Andrew! We wish you all the happiness in the world.

Detroit Opera House Wedding Photography with Shanda and Dan

September 13, 2017 by Hope Leave a Comment

In late August, we had the pleasure of photographing Shanda and Dan’s big day! They had their wedding at the magical, beautiful, and historic Detroit Opera House. Detroit Opera House wedding photography is quite grand. In the lobby of the Opera House, there are opulent chandeliers and grand staircases. These two are a pretty laid back couple though, so we managed to hit a lot of the major Detroit landmarks for photos as well, all before their rooftop wedding! That’s right… their wedding was on the Detroit Opera House ROOFTOP! Simply put, it was amazing.

Shanda was a stunning bride in her beaded, fitted dress and pearl jewelry, and her groom looked quite dapper in his tuxedo! After they finished getting ready at the Opera House, it was time for pictures. We got a few striking portraits in the lobby of the Opera House, then we piled in the party bus to take photos at some iconic Detroit locations.

It’s time for the ceremony! It was such a beautiful, mild, sunny day, and it was perfect for an outdoor ceremony. With the Renaissance Center and the Detroit skyline behind them, Shanda and Dan tied the knot!

The rooftop was transformed into a stunning wedding reception venue. As the sun started to set, the string lights came on, and the space became a twinkling oasis in the middle of Downtown Detroit. What an amazing spot for a wedding! This wedding party danced the night away and we feel so lucky to have been a part of this day!

Congratulations Shanda and Dan! We wish you all the happiness in the world!

Detroit Wedding Photography at the Westin Book Cadillac with Joe and Molly

June 15, 2017 by Hope Leave a Comment

Just last weekend, we were lucky enough to attend a beautiful wedding. Joe and Molly are such an amazing couple, and their day was full of love, laughter, and DANCING. We provided them with Detroit wedding photography for their big day, and their wedding photos turned out so beautifully.

The whole day was spent at the amazing, historic Westin Book Cadillac (you can read more about this venue by clicking here), and as always, this hotel was stunning. Every time we walk into a new wedding setup at the Westin, we’re blown away. From the beautiful lighting, to the masterfully restored ballroom, this hotel perfectly combines modern finishes with vintage elegance. From the moment we got to the hotel, this couple was having fun. The girls were popping champagne and having dance parties in their hotel suite, and the guys were having a good time together. We love it when our bride and groom are having a fun, stress free day!

You can see some of Molly and Joe’s ceremony pictures below. These two had a Jewish ceremony, and the chuppah was simple and elegant. To see a full list of the amazing vendors we worked with on this wedding, including the florist, scroll down to the bottom of this page. These two are so in love, and you can see it in every picture we took! These college sweethearts couldn’t keep their eyes off each other.

The ceremony ended and the party began! The opportunities for Detroit wedding photography around Book Cadillac are endless. You truly get a Detroit vibe everywhere you go. Molly and Joe not only got some fun images with their bridal party, but they also got some beautiful, romantic images as well.

After we were done taking advantage of the beautiful weather outside, we stepped inside to a gorgeous reception room. It was perfectly set up for a party, and it didn’t go to waste! This family sure knows how to dance! From time the Horah started playing, the dance floor was full. Molly and Joe had a truly beautiful wedding, and we were so lucky to be a part of it!

Of course, a HUGE thank you goes out to all the vendors we worked with on Molly and Joe’s big day.

Westin Book Cadillac Wedding with Corey and Lauren

December 6, 2016 by Hope Leave a Comment

Every once in a while we get one of those perfect weddings where everything comes together perfectly and the photos are a dream… this is one of those weddings. Corey and Lauren had a picturesque Westin Book Cadillac Wedding last month, and we are so in love with how everything fell into place. This couple is truly a joy to be around, so the day for us was a breeze. From the moment they saw each other during their first look to the last dance of the night, so much love was in their eyes. Weddings are such a special day, and when we spend it with a couple like this, we can’t help but love our jobs! The breeze was a little cold, but these two were troopers, and we think they look nice and warm in their photos, all snuggled together. Take a look at their big day!

First of all – these Detroit wedding photographs kill us. We never get enough of them! Secondly, this is one amazing looking bridal party. We LOVED Lauren’s sleek lace dress, cathedral veil, and her tulle half skirt that she wore during her ceremony and reception. We’ve never seen that before, and it sure did give her dress a pop of fun that matches her amazing personality.

Talk about a beautiful ceremony. Westin Book Cadillac is such a gorgeous venue, and it did not disappoint for this couple’s wedding ceremony. We loved every moment!

From one beautiful room to the next – we were floored by this reception! The soft pink hues with silvers, golds, white… it was the perfect mix of classic elegance and trendy. Lauren and Corey certainly hired the right vendors! If you want your wedding to look this good, then you can read the list of vendors they hired at the end of this blog post! We always feel so honored to be able to work alongside some of the best high-end wedding vendors in Michigan. They are dedicated, talented, and hard working, and you can be sure they will make your wedding a dream come true, just like this one!

Lauren and Corey ended their night with dancing, drinks, music, and loads of fun! We had such an amazing time at this wedding, we need to thank Corey and Lauren for trusting us with your wedding photography, and we hope you love your photos as much as we do.
