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: 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.

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!
