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!

The head table:

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.

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: Dan + Rachel Part I | Detroit Wedding Photographer

I promised myself that I’d keep the blog posts short and sweet this year, but that was before I knew exactly how beautiful Dan and Rachel’s winter wedding would be. I have so many things from this wedding that I’d like to show you. There is so much, in fact, that I’m going to break this sneak peek into several parts: a first here at Studio Sinead! Let’s start with Rachel getting ready at the Townsend Hotel in Birmingham.

OK gentlemen, listen up. Dan has come up with the ultimate way to send a card to your bride on your wedding day, and he has set the bar very, very high. This card contains mementos from their dating history, going all the way back to the beginning of high school. (Note the PG movie ticket stubs. That’s how young these two were when they met.) He carefully preserved these things and included them in his very lovely hand-written note to his bride-to-be. There wasn’t a dry eye in that entire hotel suite once Rachel opened this card. In fact, I’m not quite sure how I managed to get the following photos, but they are among my favorites from the day.

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.

We’re back online! I can’t think of anything I’d rather come back with than Jen and David’s First Look. There were so many wonderful things about this wedding, and I hope you’ll come back tomorrow for the sneak peek. In the meantime, if you’ve ever wondered why we encourage you to have a First Look, the following photos should answer all of your questions!
