Tony & Sandy :: Wedding

I really think that Detroit has quite a few bad reps. I agree with some of them, but some I think are just plain silly.

I have to say that I absolutely LOVE Detroit churches. They are some of the most beautiful places I have ever been to, and some are simply "one-of-a-kind" and a bit like "hidden gems", which is something us photographers die for.

I always get excited when it comes to have weddings Downtown Detroit because there are always tons of places to take photos at and since I'm an Indiana girl and I'm not super familiar with everything there is downtown, it usually is an experience for me as well. WIN-WIN!

One of those couples that decided to have their wedding downtown this past October was Tony & Sandy. Tony and Sandy were married at Old St. Mary's Church, which I have to say was the most beautiful church I have ever been to. It looked as though this place could be in the movies... seriously, just stunning!!! I was so excited to shoot their wedding, not only because it was downtown, but because both Tony and Sandy are super, super sweet people.

After their ceremony, we were able to travel around a bit on their trolley, yes a trolly, which was so cute! But we made our way from Tiger Stadium, over to Belle Isle, and then onto their reception site, Grosse Point War Memorial, which is so beautiful! I loved all the locations we stopped at, the weather was perfect, couple was perfect, bridal party was perfect... it was awesome! Sandy mentioned to me that the theme of her wedding was a Harvest Moon, and there was suppose to be a full moon out that night, but the clouds were also out and did not want to show us the moon. Boo! But everything else was great!

Todd and I had so much fun and the whole day was so great!

Congrads you guys... we wish you nothing but the best and we hope Chicago isn't too cold this time of year, but I'm sure that's not likely! ;)
