Alison & Rodney North 5.30.09

Alison and Rodney were married at Frederick Meijer Gardens on Saturday May 30th, on a perfect day! Everything and every detail was perfect, down to the fabulous wedding cake, wow! This couple was an absolute pleasure to work with as well as their families and I wish you every happiness as you start your lives together! Here are a few highlights and lots of details from your wedding day... it was lovely!

Had lots of fun shooting the details at this wedding....

Cutting into that fabulous cake... there were 3 different flavors, I simply had to try them all! The chocolate was definitely my favorite!

Alison watches as Rodney toasts to his wife...







Here is the cake in all it's glory...!

Absolutely gorgeous!


One of my favorite shots of the whole day!

Couldn't decide if I like it better in color or BW?

Alison in all HER glory!

Poses in front of the waterfalls...we got brought out here by the "tram" (or whatever they call it) but then had to walk back! Ran into a few bugs and snakes on the way back, but also got my favorite pics of the day on the walk, so hopefully it was worth running into that snake!!

Rodney made a picture perfect groom...

A few shots from the new studio

Today I finally got to shoot in the new studio for the first time, and had the pleasure of working with these 3 beautiful little girls, Megan, Morgan and Madison, who were not only beautiful, but who coincidently wore outfits that matched all of my furniture and props!! Their mom Jennifer was awesome as well! We chased these little one's all around the big room in hopes of a few good shots! I went a little overboard on the pictures as this was my first shoot in the new place, but here's a few of my favorites from a huge folder of images....

Madison was not about to leave that headband on... no siree...that didn't stop us from trying though!!

I think she's pulling it off in every shot!




Little Morgan holding still for a half a precious second here...

From these shots you can't tell that she was on one side of the room to the other in about 2 seconds flat... amazing I actually captured a couple here...


My new chair is working out well here!


And big sister Megan of course did a great job, and her eyes, shirt and my pillow all matched so well!


Morgan sits like a queen on my new pink chair!!

Thank you girls and mom, for being my very first subjects in the new studio!!
