I almost was unable to photograph Carrie and Joe’s wedding because I had booked events in Las Vegas the day before and the day after their wedding date. Our mutual friend, Carolyn Hefner of the China Closet – who was also their wedding planner, was very persistent in keeping both Carrie’s family and me in touch, that we decided that we would make it happen. I am so thankful it did!!! Just take a look at the photos below! I love everything thing about the results! I love the emotion that was on display by Carrie, Joe and their parents! I had a hard time making a bad photo! Not to mention, once again, we were blessed with a beautiful Michigan, autumn day! Joe and Carrie are a great couple and they have great families! The wedding ceremony took place at a church I had never photographed before: Orchard Lake Community Church Presbyterian. The reception was at a venue that I have become fond of and have worked for a handful of weddings: Pine Lake Country Club in Orchard Lake.

Some of the other fine vendors included:
English Gardens – florist
Jerry Ross Band
Roma Sposa – wedding dress & seamstress
Lavdas Limo Coach
BBJ Linen Rentals
