Deanna & Cass are two amazingly smart, totally relaxed, and ridiculously adorable people. I don’t think I have ever seen a husband-to-be as excited and affectionate as Cass! There were so many personal details to the day and I was blown away by the love and support of their beautiful families. Enough chitter chatter, take a look at the wonderful moments captured by Lemus Photography! Huge thanks to Amy & Jorge for sharing these photos with us.

We start with my favorite moment of the day! Deanna taking a sneak peek of all of the commotion before the ceremony. Ironically one of the most peaceful photos I have ever seen. :)

Just look at the beautiful newlyweds! (And that beautiful dress!)

The ceremony, held at the Shrine Chapel at St. Mary’s in Orchard Lake, was absolutely beautiful and the reception was the epitome of class at Orchard Lake Country Club.

Deanna is timeless, and who doesn’t LOVE a birdcage veil bride?

The flowers were supplied by Bridgette O’Brien of One Of A Kind Botanical Design and they were some of the most creative I’d seen all year. Can you believe the peacock feathers were Cass’ idea?

Check out the wonderful video created by Days To Remember Media

I am so lucky that I have the ability to work with phenomenal vendors and amazing couples every day! I normally wait until we receive a few professional photos to showcase our weddings, but I just had to share this! Below, you will find the wedding video preview for Deanna & Cass, who just recently tied the knot on August 29, 2009. The video was done by Days To Remember. The ceremony was held at The Chapel at St. Mary’s and the reception was at Orchard Lake Country Club. Both venues are located in Orchard Lake, MI. Enjoy!

I will be doing a better write up once we receive the photos from the amazing Lemus Photography! (I even make a little appearance at the very end.)

For the last few weeks, the most asked question I receive is about videographers. So, I thought it would be fitting to share with you some of my favorite cinematographers and videographers in the area! In order to really see the amazing quality, watch these in HD by clinking on the video itself. Enjoy these adorable videos! I hope they inspire you as much as they do me.

I recently had the opportunity to meet Stephanie & Lee with Days To Remember Media and instantly fell in love with them! They are a very sweet husband and wife team and their passion for their job really shows.

While I get to meet hundreds of people each year, not everyone leaves a lasting impression. Jamie Honce, of Jamie Honce Productions is one of those few people who do. Not only is his work fantastic, but he is truly a lovely person. He also just celebrated the birth of his adorable daughter, Leah! Congrats!

Super 8mm really brings that vintage romantic feel when you watch the details of your day unfold on film and we are very lucky to have someone as talented as Epic Motion behind the camera. Below is a demo of the Super 8mm and a sample of the amazing work created by this fabulous company. You may notice some familiar faces in the second sample!
