When I first started talking to Julie and Eric about shooting their wedding, I knew that I would love to be a part of it. They were laid back, planning a wedding that reflected their personalities and cut back on some of the usual tradition to enjoy the celebration of the day. I think it turned out to be a little bit of everything a wedding should be and I’m sure their family and friends are still talking about it. I’m excited that now they can re-live all of the moments with the photos – so here’s a look at their day.

The Guardian Angels church was beautiful and I loved the stained glass inside. The girls stayed hidden in a room until the ceremony started and the guys were busy greeting and seating people. The ceremony started and Julie looked gorgeous walking down the aisle.

love this photo above!

After the ceremony, it was off to the Detroit Golf Club riding in style in a school bus! J+E told me that when they first looked into transportation they joked about a school bus… and then they found it really would be their best option, besides also being something fun. They were even able to get a bus from the school Eric teaches at – what could be better?

the Detroit Golf Club was a great reception venue with a gorgeous exterior and beautiful rooms inside. The grass was incredibly green, an advantage of being at a golf club.

Do you love their flowers? I’m going to have to get back to you on the contact info for Mrs. Petit who did them, but she is simply amazing! She actually did the flowers for my wedding and I absolutely loved them, if you’re interested in getting in touch with her just let me know.

Eric wrote a song for Julie when he proposed to her, and that’s what they danced to. I don’t know if it gets more romantic than that.

I love these two photos above and below they are just so fun and I’m sure will become classics.

Everyone had a good time! I love when there’s a big crowd on the dance floor it’s a blast to photograph. To see the complete set of photos from their wedding you can go to my proofing site. Thanks you again for letting me be a part of your big day, J+E, I’m looking forward to seeing what your favorites are!
