a beautiful Christmas wedding | livonia wedding photographer

The decorations really put me in the Christmas spirit.  🙂  Everything was beautiful.  The ornaments on the trees, the snowflakes on the cake, red and gold packages decorating each table, the candlelight, friends and family singing Christmas carols to make the couple exchange a kiss.  Very unique.  A wonderful wedding. Tracey was a gorgeous bride.  […]

banner

Added a new holiday banner to my business site. I use Adobe Photoshop CS for all my photo editing and design. For this banner, I chose eraser and used one of the brushes to make the rough border and the “peace” brush is from Rhonna Farrer’s digital kit available here. Photoshop is a lot of […]

before or after

Alycia and CJ decided to get all of the pictures out of the way before the ceremony so they set up a moment for him to see her for the first time.  The room was cleared so they could be alone.  I stood in the back, zoomed in and caught the first moment he turned […]

A fairy tale wedding.  The best way to describe it.  Art was like a prince arriving at the ceremony on horseback.  A processional of flags led the way with the little boys ringing bells and announcing "The bride is coming."  And like a princess, Jill rode up in a horsedrawn carriage.  It was a beautiful […]

I first met Alycia and CJ when I did their engagement pictures at the beach at Grand Haven.  They were such nice people and I could tell they were really in love.  This picture, taken near the end of the reception, is one of my favorites.  They are totally into each other, the rest of […]
