Photo Booth Fun | Detroit Portrait Photographer

We love portraits!
I’m not talking about the pose-y-pose-y kind that get made just after your wedding ceremony. We do recognize their importance, but we have something much more fun in mind. We’ve been quietly taking our photo booth on the road with us for the last year or so. You and your guests are encouraged to step in front of the camera and have a little fun with us. People love the photo booth so much that we have decided to make it available for non- wedding events, too. If you’d like to have us come out and make fun photos at your next party or event, email the studio for more information. We’ll have a blast!
Here are a few shots from a recent event:

Sneak Peek: Dan + Rachel Part IV | Detroit Wedding Photographer

And so we come to the final installment of Rachel and Dan’s sneak peek. This was such a gorgeous wedding and today I’m going to show you a few more of the incredible details.

Rachel’s flowers were created by Emerald City Designs and her beautiful gown was from Monique Lhuillier via the Roma Sposa Bridal Atelier in Birmingham. In the picture below, the crinoline reminds me of a Georgia O’Keeffe painting.

Emerald City did a wonderful job not only with the bouquets, but with the church decor as well.

They also created the stunning crystal and rose decor in the ballroom of the Townsend. I could have photographed this all night. It was fabulous!

These centerpieces, tall arrangements complimented with crystals, were beautiful. I also appreciated the wonderful room lighting. A combination of pink uplights, pin spots, and candlelight made this reception a delight to photograph and gave everything a warm, rosy glow.

I loved the draping on the cake table.

And finally, could there be a more romantic end to a storybook wedding?

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

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:

Sneak Peek: Mike + Rachel | Ann Arbor Wedding Photographer

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!

Coming Soon: Rachel + Mike | Ann Arbor Wedding Photographer

A little teaser for you to enjoy. The sneak peek is coming soon.

Kara + Cicero: Sneak Peek | Detroit Wedding Photographer

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.

Fan Me! | Ann Arbor Wedding Photographer

The Studio Sinead Facebook page is finally up and it’s lonely over there! If you are a past, present, or future client, come on over and fan me. We’re going to be adding new pictures over the next few days and one lucky client is going to win some free enlargements. Details to follow on the facebook page, so make sure you head over and sign up!

And before anyone says anything, no, I didn’t hear a word about hell freezing over, but let this be a lesson to everyone: never say never. Who knows? I just might complete the downward spiral and find myself on Twitter before all is said and done. :)

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

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.
