Brides Michigan Magazine

Something exciting arrived in my mailbox a couple weeks ago. The latest issue of Brides Michigan Magazine with one of my favorite 2008 weddings featured – Lesley and Anthony.

Amidst my fall ’08 weddings, my dear friend (and often wedding assistant), Heidi, had her sweet baby boy, Grady, and I squeezed in a little time one morning to take a few pictures of him. He is such a cutie pie and much bigger now since these were taken last October when he was only […]
