Kirsten+Jon were married at the Duke Chapel and immediately following their ceremony, we headed over the Sarah Duke Gardens for some fun pictures of the bride+groom!  It was such a beautiful location on the campus and it had JUST stopped raining (perfect timing!), so the garden's were quiet and the temperature was nice.  

After we left the Sarah Duke Gardens, everyone gathered at the FABULOUS The Washington Duke Inn  for the wedding reception.  There were tears, there was laughter, and there was ALOT of dancing!  

Kirsten+Jon, we wish you nothing short of the BEST in your years to come!  We are so glad we were there to document your big day!  We hope you enjoy the images!

We met Kirsten+Jon last summer when we shot Kirsten's sister's wedding (Ashley+Ryan), and we were honored when Kirsten approached us to shoot her wedding at the Duke Chapel on Duke University's beautiful campus.  Kirsten looked stunning in her Vera Wang dress, and Jon never stopped laughing and smiling the entire day.

Kirsten+Jon, we hope you are having fun in the Dominican Republic on your honeymoon!  We LOVED getting to see you again, and we kinda feel like you are part of our extended family! Here are a few images from the first part of your day.  More to come soon!

So, I'm pretty much in LOVE with October on Mackinac.  Here are a few images from Jaymi+Gani's fall wedding that took place at Mission Point Resort on Mackinac Island this past fall... more to come soon with a full blog post! Enjoy!!

(by the way, Mark and I love the quiet, romantic moments between two people madly in love...) 

(And we also LOVE those silly moments when two people in love throw their hands up in the air, and anything that they happen to be holding, in celebration!!)

Sarah+Jonathan were married right before Christmas, and held both their wedding ceremony and their wedding reception at the Royal Park Hotel in Rochester, Michigan.  It was a GORGEOUS wedding, and you can see for yourself in the images below just how wonderful of a job Sarah did pulling all the details together.

Sarah+Jonathan, thank you SO MUCH for choosing us to document your day.  We were honored to witness your union and be there to capture your first hours of married life.  We wish you the best!  ENJOY these images from you collection!
