Photos and Highlight Slideshow are combined on this post below of Hailey and Joey’s exciting wedding. The entire day of photography, which included Hailey’s getting ready photos, the ceremony, reception and “after” party, all took place at the beautiful Knollwood Country Club in West Bloomfield, Michigan. This was my second wedding in 30 days where the couple’s dog took part of wedding party photographs! The wedding could not have been as elegant and successful had it not been for the planning and decorative expertise of Dee Dee Hoffman of Dee Dee Hoffman Party Design.  Other top notch vendors included favorites of mine, Todd Skog and his talented staff of  Todd’s Room in Birmingham, MI, Alex Bitoff and his awesome staff of Fifth and Main Productions for video, and Simone Vitale and his star-laden Simone Vitale Band for entertainment, the florist was Breath of Spring in Bloomfield Hills, the cake maker was Patisserie Parmentier, the Rabbi Harold Loss of Temple Israel performed the ceremony, and the cantor was Cantor Smolash.  The evening ended with a night club-like “after party” with DJ Whip.

Below are some of my favorites from the day.  Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the post to see the highlight slideshow of the entire day!  Enjoy!

Ranae and TJ’s gorgeous wedding started and ended at the luxurious Townsend Hotel in downtown Birmingham, Michigan.  I will let the photos do the talking on this wedding, but I also want to give credit where credit is due.  Ranae and TJ had a wedding fit for Hollywood stars and they had a cast of vendors that are among Detroit’s Rock Stars!

Check out Maria and Donnie’s beautiful highlight slideshow below. Their wedding ceremony took place at Guardian Lutheran Church in Dearborn, MI and their reception was held at Fox Hills Golf and Country Club in Plymouth, MI. You can find all the details of this wedding in last month’s blog entry. Enjoy the show!

I have had a few former clients get selected for the wedding section of Town and Country Magazine. Only a select few are actually chosen to have their announcement published. The latest of my fortunate couples to be selected is Kara and Patrick Howe! They were married June 21, 2008 at St. Hugo’s Catholic Church and their reception was held at Bloomfield Hills Country Club, both located in Bloomfield Hills, MI. Congrats Kara and Patrick! I am thrilled for you! You can see their photo in the latest edition of Town and Country on the news stands. Check out the wedding section.
