Sneak Peek: Mike + Rachel | Ann Arbor Wedding Photographer

30 June, 2009 – 12:04 am

Mike and Rachel’s June wedding at St. John’s, Plymouth had it all: a gorgeous day, a smiling bride, a wonderful and diverse group of family and friends (it’s not every day that you get shots of the hora at St. John’s!), the best Detroit hustle line that we have ever seen, AND the best cake that we’ve tasted since Latacia and Marcus’s wedding back in 2005. (In fact, that cake was so good that it will have it’s very own blog post later on. Zingerman’s Bakehouse, if you even need to ask.)

Although we were working, we had a wonderful time. Thanks so much for letting us be a small part of your day, Rachel and Mike. Your sneak peek is in the slide show below. (It’s long ,so give it a minute to load.) Enjoy!

Our sixth season got off to a fabulous start with Kara and Cicero’s elegant wedding and reception at the beautiful Motown Mansion in Detroit. The bride was radiant, the weather was wonderful, and even the pastor commented on how very much in love these two are.

Kara and Cicero, thank you for sharing your wedding day with us. You were a pleasure to work with and we wish you every happiness.

Enjoy the photos. The slide show starts below the pictures.

OK. I’ve had all of this miserable weather that I can stand, so I decided to go in search of spring.
And I found it — sitting right there on my hard drive! Who knew??

Don’t you just love beautiful bouquets? (And if you haven’t been by our Facebook page yet, why not??? Get over there and become a fan. We have lots of fun coming, so don’t miss out.)

Enjoy!

The E: Rachel + Dan in Birmingham (Part 2)

12 March, 2009 – 1:21 am

There were so many photos that I wanted to include in Dan and Rachel’s sneak peek, so I decided to do two posts about their fun engagement session. As you’ll see, we took full advantage of Downtown Birmingham, and of the gracious hospitality of the Townsend Hotel. If you don’t know The Townsend — you must! Drop by for tea one afternoon and take in the gorgeous surroundings. It was the perfect setting for Dan and Rachel’s portraits and we know that their wedding reception will be beautiful, too.

The E: Rachel + Dan in Troy and Birmingham (Part 1)

11 March, 2009 – 2:01 am

Dan and Rachel aren’t getting married until next February, but Rachel loves winter and wanted to make sure that she had snow in her engagement pictures. Well — as the saying goes, be careful what you wish for! We braved what may have been the last big snowstorm of the winter to photograph these two at home in Troy, at several locations Downtown Birmingham, and at the beautiful Townsend Hotel. We have so many great pictures that this sneak peek is going to require two posts — a first in Studio Sinead history! So make sure to come back for Part 2 on Thursday. We had a terrific time with Dan and Rachel, Rachel’s lovely mother, Dr. Denise, and Coco, the wonder dog. We’re definitely looking forward to their wedding next year, but we don’t mind waiting for more snow. :) We’d like to take a moment to send a huge thank you to Elaine, the mom of former Studio Sinead bride Jen Smith Waxberg, for sending Rachel our way. We’re truly touched by your vote of confidence.

Enjoy the photos!

The Elephant in the Garden

17 February, 2009 – 1:39 pm

No, I’m not talking about Garrett’s newest landscaping adventure. This is a bit more indelicate: it’s time to talk about money.
There! I said it.

Right now, it is impossible to live nearly anywhere in the world and not realize that our relationship with money has changed. It’s completely impossible to ignore this fact if you live in Detroit.

Lately, I have heard from many of you that you have a budget for wedding photography that is different than you had originally envisioned, and perhaps less than what you think it needs to be if you want to be a Studio Sinead bride. I want you to know that I have heard your concerns and have taken steps to address them. We have always offered custom quotes to our clients, but I have taken the initiative of creating a simple wedding collection as well. It has all of the things you’ve told me you love (two photographers, your digital negatives archived to DVD, online proofing) but none of the “extras,” such as albums, engagement sessions, or bridal portraits. You are free to add them, of course, as your budget allows. We will be offering this new collection until it sells out. We let our newsletter subscribers know about it yesterday, and have already filled two dates. If you’re interested, please let us know as soon as possible. It is possible to have the photography that you love at a price that you can afford. We look forward to working with you!

The E: Shannon+Chris in Birmingham, MI

30 January, 2009 – 3:51 pm

I was so excited when Erin, a 2008 bride (you may remember her beautiful fall wedding at the River Birch Lodge) referred her friend Shannon to me. Shannon is a Michigan native who now lives in California and is on the staff at the sublime French Laundry restaurant. She and her fiance, Chris, are planning an August wedding in Michigan, and we had the pleasure of shooting their engagement portraits when they were in town during the holidays. (I think it must be easier to love the cold weather when you live in California. :) We would have gladly gone out West for the session, but had we done so, we would have missed Shannon’s mother’s beautiful home, along with all of the fun that is downtown Birmingham at Christmas.)

Shannon and Chris, we had a wonderful time with you and we’re truly looking forward to your wedding day! Thanks so much for sharing an afternoon with us. We hope you enjoy your photos!
