Real Bliss Wedding of Joanna & Tom

Monday, December 7th, 2009

Talk about gorgeous! Every detail of Joanna & Tom’s wedding was right on point. The colors, the weather, the ridiculously beautiful people and the unmistakable love that these lovebirds shared. It was such a wonderful day and I was overjoyed that I was able to be a part of it all. Check out these beautiful photos by Kara Purtell. (Who is a blast to work with, by the way!)

Look at that church! The ceremony was at St. Scholastica in Detroit. I would HIGHLY recommend this place if you are looking for a church. Deux Adore did a wonderful job with the make-up, too. The flowers were done by HB Originals and lasted the entire night.

All of the beautiful paper products were done by Plush Paper Creations, one of my absolute favorite people to work with.

This was the second wedding we did with a bagpiper this year. Such a fun addition to the festivities!

I just love how sweet Joanna & Tom are. Both totally down to earth, relaxed and completely in the moment. Swoon!

Yes, they are ON THE FIELD at Comerica Park. How awesome is that? The guys even ran the bases, even though they weren’t supposed to! ;)

Laurel Manor was the perfect setting for their large reception and has one of the most helpful staff around!  Pair that with the classy linens from Sposa Seating and you have a winning combination. Those adorable pictures of their pooch were taken by Mod 4. If you have pets, you should definitely look them up. The band that night was Nightline, and all I can say is WOW! They kept that dance floor packed all night. The wedding cake was done by Sweet Dreams Bakery. I wish I would have had a chance to try a piece, it looked beautiful.

This video of the day was created by Tri-foot Productions. The music is beautiful and the perfect match to the details of the day. Love it!

Balloons are making a comeback!

Friday, August 7th, 2009

I must admit, the thought of using balloons in a wedding used to really made me sick to my stomach. Lucky for us, the days of cheesy balloon decor are long gone. Welcome to one of the most fun and playful trends I have seen all year! These toys have been making an appearance in engagement shoots, wedding photos and lots and lots of decor. What brings back childhood memories better than balloons??
