WHOOOO WEEEE!

I have been waiting to photograph Roz and Jamie's wedding for about year and a half, so needless to say I was SUPER excited for the big day to finally be here! (I was probably more excited than the bride - seriously!)

I met the happy couple a couple years ago while shooting their friend's wedding and Roz and I totally clicked! Once Jamie popped the question, there was no doubt about it that I would be there for their wedding! Over the years, Roz and I developed a fabulous friendship, which made photographing their wedding EVEN BETTER!

My favorite thing about Roz and Jamie's wedding is the little personal touches they put on everything. This was truly THEIR wedding! Roz spent so much time getting crafty and making some amazing details, such as a ring bearer box, the horseshoe she carried down the aisle for good luck and even the flower girl's dress!

The theme of the Belsey's wedding was everything Irish! From there ceremony to the customized 'shot glass toast', these two are really LUCKY IN LOVE!

Getting Ready Location: Terminal City Club Hotel
Ceremony / Reception Location: Stanley Park Pavilion
Bride's Dress: La Belle Elaine's Bridal, Private Collection
Bridesmaid Dresses: Mori Lee

I have known Julie for about 4 years now - and she was one of those friends who said 'When I get married, I know EXACTLY who my photographer will be!' Nearly 2 years ago, Mark popped the question and this last weekend, the happy couple officially tied the knot!

I was THRILLED to be asked to be a part of their wedding! Julie was just beaming the entire day and I was SO happy to see her in a true state of bliss!

Their event took place in a picturesque town in upper Michigan, right on the Great Lake named Petoskey.

Location: The Historic Perry Hotel
Bride's Dress: Maggie Sottero
Bridesmaid Dresses: Alfred Sung
Tux: Claiborne
Flowers: Sky's the Limit
Cake: Bella e Dolce

I hate cameras.  They are so much more sure than I am about everything.
