Photo Feature: Samantha & David
We had so much fun with Samantha & David on their June 4th wedding with their ceremony at George George Memorial Park in Clinton Township with reception at Lakeland Manor in St. Clair Shores! These two rocked a blue and pink color scheme in a really fresh and classy way and had a relaxed but romantic feeling throughout their whole day that allowed their whole bridal party and their guests to enjoy the experience. We are so thankful to have been part of their day and wish them the absolute best in newlywed life!
Candid Wedding Photography — A Healthy Perspective
Something we hear a lot in this business from couples planning their wedding photography & videography is: "We really want it to be candid. We don't want it to be pose-y." We totally understand where they are coming from! But, if you haven't spent much time in front of a professional camera, it can be hard to understand just where those candid-looking shots actually come from. Truly candid photography means the photographer hangs back and captures the live events without interfering with or directing the photograph. It is expected at parts of the wedding day like the ceremony, first dances, bouquet toss, and others like that. However, when it comes to

Post-Wedding Portraits: Why They’re a Great Idea
Wedding photography, along with videography, is one of the most important aspects of a wedding day. Both photography and videography are meant to capture the emotions, details, and memories of the day. But wedding photography is also meant to produce gorgeous portraits that you can put up in your home, at your desk at work, or include in your photo album for friends & loved ones to "ooh" and "aww" over. Sometimes, the hustle and bustle of a wedding day doesn't allow for the laid-back feel during the photo shoot that can help achieve the most beautiful portraits you'll keep and look at for years and years. On your wedding day, everyone

By Kristin Joseph | Sales & Online Media Good wedding photography comes down to capturing two main things: DETAILS and MOMENTS. Check out the beautiful images from Courtney & Jason's big day of 8/29/15 in Sterling Heights, Michigan at the Freedom Hill Amphitheater! We loved the light-hearted yet romantic feel of their day and the pink, blush, and white details of the decor.
