Wedding Preview: Valerie & Nick

If our first wedding of the 2009 season is any indicator, this year is going to be RAD!

Yesterday, Valerie & Nick were married at Saints Peter & Paul Church in Detroit, with a reception following at the Lafayette Grande in Pontiac.   Here’s just a quick look at some of the images from early in the day.  There are a lot more to come!

Say helllloooooo to Valerie.  Okay, where do I even start?  This girl is all kinds of awesome.  We had such a terrific time shooting an earlier session with her, and by the time the wedding rolled around, we felt like we were photographing a friend.  We took a few minutes before the wedding started to sneak in a few bridal portraits.

Andy captured this great moment between Nick and his dad.

This is SO going to be printed and displayed in our studio!  Love it!

Being a flower girl is HARD WORK people!

I feel we really rocked the “unveiling” at this wedding!   This was my view – Andy’s will be in Part 2 of this post.

Did you people really think I would post the kiss shot in a preview post? No, you gotta wait for the next post!

These kids were too funny.  We were going through our pictures last night and I’m like “Oh that’s a cute one!”, just figuring the ring-bearer was being goofy and walking all silly.  Then Andy told me that he was actually mimicking him as he knelt down to get this shot.  So much for us being stealthy!

In case you couldn’t tell from the opening picture of this post, the bridal party was FULL OF AWESOME!  This was seriously the best limo ride I’ve been a part of yet.  The bar for the 2009 season has been set high people, you better be ready to bring it!

These guys are my new BFFs.  Thanks for keeping me entertained on the ride to Pontiac.

That’s it for now!  We have so many more good ones to share – but we need to get caught up with our other editing.  Keep watching for Part 2 of this post!  Nick & Valerie – you guys were so much fun and we had a fantastic time!  Thank you for making us part of your day!
