Kristen and Jeff – Michigan Wedding Photography
Posted on July 2, 2008
Hey all! I’m back on this rainy day to post some pictures from the wedding on May 25.
My girlfriend from cosmetology school was the bride so this wedding was particularly fun for us to shoot since we knew a few of the guests. The ceremony and reception were held at Riverside Receptions in Centreville, MI. It was a beautiful day! It was sunny and warm with a little bit of a breeze – just perfect for an outdoor wedding.
Although these pictures have been completed for awhile, I am still going to post some. I’m a bit behind on this whole blogging thing, but I’ll catch up soon enough!
This is a picture of Kristen and her mom in the dressing room.
They were both so calm and ready to go! Such a wonderful family.
A great shot of the rings and flowers.
One thing I really loved about this wedding were the details. They didn’t leave anything overlooked! Kristen was the most organized bride. In fact, she had the wedding planned well before the event even took place.
I was taking pictures of Kristen getting ready while Kai took the portraits of the guys. It was so fun for me to see the finished products! This was one of my favorites – so serious! I thought this captured Jeff well since he really dislikes smiling for the camera.
We ended up taking pictures of the girls after the ceremony to allow for more “getting ready” time. Kai spotted a field across the street and we took portraits there before the reception. We’re both really happy with the way the colors turned out.
Here is a bridal portrait of Kristen taken in the field. She looked gorgeous (as expected) -and her dress was so flattering. It really showed off how teeny tiny she is.
We brought along a copy of their invitation and took pictures during some downtime. The green paper they used perfectly matched the bridesmaids dresses! They were so elegant. Remember what I said about Kristen’s attention to detail?
Just married! The ceremony was set outdoors along the river. It was beautiful and perfect for pictures!
Kai caught this picture at the perfect moment. Jeff snuck in a quick handshake with his dad while walking back down the aisle with his new bride!
I loved the table settings! Simple and beautiful. The breeze kept knocking the place cards down so we got creative and used their chocolate favors to keep them from blowing away!
The chocolate was so tasty – I ate mine before I even got dinner.
Time to party! Kristen and her friends had a great time dancing. The boys were a little shy but a couple of groomsmen got out there eventually.
It was such a gorgeous wedding. Kristen and Jeff are both wonderful people and deserve all the best in their future together.
Many thanks to the couple for giving us the privilege of capturing their day for them – we had a blast!
