Weddings from Bryan and Mae are some of my favorite for two reasons. First, a whole lot of the beautiful celebrations they capture are in my gorgeous home state (Michigan) and I love the little piece of home. And second, they are phenomenal at capturing a couple's love. You can see the tenderness in the way they embrace, hear the laughter, and feel the excitement. And, the coolest couples choose these two talented photographers to capture...
I've never had such an immediate adoration for wallpaper as I did when I started sifting through these images but seriously Detroit, you're bringing it with that wall decor. You know who else is bringing it? Julie Pepin Photography, that's who. Because tucked inside this day are portraits as timeless and gorgeous as they come. They are the kind of photographs that children and grandchildren are going to be coveting years from now. They...
This gorgeous wedding takes place in the town where I grew up. I spent my girlhood days daydreaming about all the beautiful soirees that happened at The Henry Ford, convinced they all embodied the romance of the history of the place. And today my dreams have finally been brought to fruition, as this sweet wedding, from...

Planning your wedding creates so many new memories and pretty often, so many new friendships. You work side by side with your vendors - usually for months - and as Ana, the principal event planner at TwoFoot Creative will tell you, when the sun sets and the day is done, it's often a bittersweet moment. Such is the case of Ariana & John's classic Ann Arbor wedding. Seeing all of your clever collaborations come to life is a...

This next little number simply gives me the warm and fuzzies. And although I can't pin point the precise detail that is charming up my Monday morning, I'm pretty sure it's the combination of all the lovely nestled in this Lake Michigan soiree from stephanie n. baker. It's the type of party where you can just tell people hugged a bit tighter and smiled a bit wider, and it all made for one delightful day.
