Just finished designing a wedding album for Sean & Angie. Click the image to take a peek.

My love of graphic design and scrapbooking background help when it comes to page layout. I use Adobe Photoshop for all my designs and spend a good deal of time going through all the pictures from a wedding to choose the ones I think best represent the story of the day. So fun to create books like this for my couples.

Today’s wedding was so wonderful! So full of love and their faith in God. Just glanced through the pictures tonight and here are a few of my favorites so far.

[ The dress ]

[ Heidi and I were pretty much blown away when Philip sang “The Prayer”. His voice is amazing. Watch out, Josh Groban. The couple also sang a song together in Chinese and Becky, too, has a beautiful voice. Wonderful God given gifts. ]

[ The church had these really cool windows and the bride’s sister told me it’s kind of a tradition at their church to take silhouette pictures by them. Love this one. ]

[ The flowers. So bright and beautiful. Couldn’t stop taking pictures of them they were so pretty. ]

[ The newlyweds. There were lots of sweet moments like this throughout the day. So in love. ]

CONGRATULATIONS you two!

Beautiful wedding. Gorgeous weather. Awesome reception site. Delicious food. Another great wedding. Here are a few from the day:

[ Caught this shot of Kim’s hands while she was getting her makeup done. ]

[The flower girl was so cute and so excited to be part of the wedding. She was so anxious to get into her dress. Once it was on, she took full advantage of it. She was a dancin’ machine all night. 🙂

Beautiful beautiful wedding on Saturday. Another wonderful couple with such great family and friends. Loved being a part of that for the day. Angela was a gorgeous bride. Went to the salon with the girls in the morning. So fun! I love doing that. Love seeing the transformation. I’m always in awe of how the hairstylists maneuver the hair – down with curls and up with twists and turns and bobby pins galore. The girls always look amazing.

There was a very relaxed, laid back feeling to the day. Everyone enjoyed themselves and the ceremony was simple and sweet. The flowers were so beautiful. I loved her bouquet and have lots of pictures to prove it. 🙂

Here are just a few pictures from the day. Slideshow to come!


[ I don’t normally post posed pictures since I am all about the candid moments, but we did a few of Angie in front of the window and I love this one. Had to share it! ]


[ Lots of emotion. Lots of tears. A special moment during the ceremony of mother and daughter. ]


[ Love this shot of Sean and Angie. So sweet. We went to the U of M campus to take a few of the couple with the bridal party. Gorgeous buildings. I could have stayed and shot there all afternoon. ]


[ Took this just after the bride and groom sat down at their table. Waiting for the speeches to begin. Just having a moment. ]
