After the First Look at the Townsend Hotel, we made our way to the ceremony site — the beautiful stone chapel at St. Hugo of the Hills in Bloomfield Hills. What a wonderful spot for a wedding!

Sneak Peek: Dan+Rachel: First Look | Detroit Wedding Photographer

16 February, 2010 – 3:12 pm

Welcome to Part II of our look at Dan and Rachel’s gorgeous wedding.
We absolutely love it when our clients choose to do a First Look. Why? The First Look gives the bride and groom a uniquely intimate moment together before the hectic wedding day begins. They have a chance to see and appreciate each other before the ceremony and we have the chance to make the type of images that are truly impossible to find later in the day. We have never had anyone say they regretted doing a First Look, but many have told us they were sorry that they did not. I say cast aside old superstitions about not seeing each other first — we are living in modern times, after all, and in life you make your own ‘luck.’ The First Look gives you the opportunity to have terrific pictures made when you, your emotions, and the day itself are all still wonderful and fresh. In case you still have doubts, here is the irrefutable evidence:

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 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!

Jan + Lauren: Sneak Peek

19 October, 2008 – 9:29 pm

Lauren and Jan were married yesterday at Kirk in the Hills. The church is absolutely stunning and is one place in the Detroit area that I have always wanted to photograph.
The day was extra special for the couple because a number of Jan’s family members were able to make the trip from their home in Germany in order to attend the wedding.
And do note Lauren’s gorgeous birdcage veil. Don’t you love it? She made it herself! (And she’s going to tell us how she did it when she returns from her honeymoon.)
Congratulations, Jan and Lauren. We were delighted to share your wonderful day.

Design Tuesday: Be Inspired

23 September, 2008 – 9:21 pm

If you think I have a thing for flowers, details, and table tops, you’re right! Once again, I have to comment on a wonderfully unique decor.
Jen Smith Waxberg had an elegant wedding with many unusual details. We loved her decision to use a variety of flowers in her wedding design. Her florist, Breath of Spring, Bloomfield Hills, MI, designed the table settings using flowers of many different colors and heights and the result was a jewel box feel. In the end, the room was truly a secret garden. It was lovely and I simply can’t stop thinking about it.
