Nichole + Shawn


Nichole and Shawn were married on Saturday at the Victoria Wedding Chapel in Waterford. Everything was perfect...fabulous fall weather, beautiful ceremony and a "funtastic" reception at the Mirage in Clinton Township. DJ/Emcee Jason Nichols of Advanced Entertainment did a great job of keeping the party going strong all through the night. We thoroughly enjoyed filming Nichole and Shawn's wedding.

Lindsay + Rhett



Lindsay + Rhett were married at St. Mary's Church in Royal Oak on Saturday, Sept. 19th. This was our first 'documentary' shoot, with all events full length as they originally happened. Their photographer was Kristen, from k.holly photography. She was quite pleasant and easy to work with. I've seen her work- very contemporary and artistic. Their reception was held at The Fountains Golf Course- beautiful place on a beautiful day. Like Lindsay's Dad said; "you couldn't ask for a better day!" They even had a band- I love bands- The 'As Is' Band- very cool! You can see more pictures from this wedding on our Facebook page>

Baseball + Diamonds



Alexis and Ted were married at Maniaci's in downtown Richmond. What a fabulous place, and a fabulous couple. Their story is truly heartwarming. Their photographer was Jim Shield, a great guy we've worked with many times before. The night was topped off by the melodious sounds of the Dittilies- minus Steve King.

Megan + James

Megan and James were married on September 12th at Grosse Pointe Presbyterian Church. Their reception was at the always swank Andiamos. What a great couple!! They were so easy to work with... that's a quote from their photographer, Joe, from JS Photography and it was sooo true. The DJ was John from JD Entertainment, and he kept things hoping all night. It was a really fun wedding- and yummy great food! Wanna see? Here's the trailer:

Rivington/Bastianelli Wedding Trailer

This is a trailer of our first HD wedding shoot. Mario and Tiffany were a great couple. The Oak Arbor church in Rochester was very nice. It snowed like crazy all day, to the delight of Tiffany and her 'winter wedding' theme. The reception at the Polish Century Club in Sterling Heights rocked!
