Marci is the ultimate professional and wedding photographer. She's calm, creative, and the exactly the person you need on your wedding day (or any other important event where high quality, beautiful photos are needed). We received our photos within 2 weeks of our special day, which was awesome. Everything ran smoothly and we really appreciated Marci's fun, calming, and professional approach. She keeps an "emergency kit" with a crochet hook or whatever that thing is called. It literally saved the day for getting the buttons on the back of my dress looped (I had like 20 small buttons). In closing, we are forever grateful to Marci for capturing our special day so beautifully and wanted to send a heartfelt thanks publicly. Marci for the win!
I decided to showcase some of my personal favorite wedding day photos from around the Metro Detroit, Michigan area to create a gallery for clients to see the variety of images that I personally love. I couldn't fit anywhere near the 150 of my all time favorite wedding photos on the main pages, so here we are. Sometimes I love the photo, but usually it's because I love the people in them, or the photo was one I worked really hard for, or the stars all aligned to make magic or there's a great story going on in that photo that brings me back to a really special wedding day, like the photo I added "June 26th" to a photo. Just happened to be the day gay marriage became legal while I was photographing an amazing same sex couple. It was such a fabulous and amazingly emotional wedding day for all of us and this is still one of my all time favorite couples.
Like you, I love looking at wedding photos and this group of wedding photos pulls at my heartstrings. Some are hilarious, some are tender and many are just plain of fun. So all of these are photos that still touch my heart and bring me back to a wedding day I loved.
A lot of these photos are more subtle. Even my sweet hubby was wondering, "What's up with the bride getting ready in a horse stall?". See, things like that delight me. The venue is a horse racing stable and I love that the venue pulled out all the stops to write "Happy Wedding Day" on a white board for the bride, but she's still getting ready in a working horse stall. The "glamor" of the day versus the reality of it always crack me up.
Some of these photos have won awards, but most I just know that I captured something that really captures the couple, the weather or their venue perfectly… hopefully all three.
Some of these photos involved pretty challenging lighting conditions or the background was so fleeting, like the one on on the beach at Waldenwoods Resort with the eerie light from Detroit and involved me laying in wet sand for a long time.
I also love all the stories behind all of these photos. They are my darlings and sometimes it's hard to "kill your darlings". This could mean I found a fleeting moment or I set something up that was really challenging and still pulled it off or it basically appeals to my quirky sense of humor. Enjoy!
Thanks for checking out some of my favorite wedding photos and hope you'll check out more galleries while you're here.
