Detroit Wedding Photographers on New Year’s

A New Year’s Eve Wedding Photography Adventure

We love a good celebration. I mean, who doesn’t, right? Well, talk about a great celebration here! We had the great pleasure to photograph a wedding that was taking place on New Year’s Eve, with the reception being held well into New Year’s Day (early morning hours.) The Bride and Groom held a party to remember, and we couldn’t be happier for them!

This wonderful party was held at the Hotel Baronette in Novi, Michigan. This venue features a beautiful sitting area, complete with a giant roaring fireplace. The decorations were gorgeous here as well, and complimented the party with style.

We had a great time, especially with the guys (as you’ll see below) and the photos turned out beautifully. While this wedding took place last year (2013-2014), we don’t want to leave these photos behind. We are hopeful to shoot at this location again in the future, and wanted to share with you all the beauty that can result from this venue. Read on below to see some of our favorite photographs from this very fun wedding!

Metro Detroit Wedding Pictures

One of our favorite weddings to photograph this year was this beautiful outdoor wedding that took place in Carlton, Michigan. This gorgeous wedding also had the best reception location we have had the great pleasure to photograph, and that was the stunning backdrop of Downtown Detroit itself!

This amazing couple chose the Four Star Proven Winners for their wedding venue, and I must say… the photos from this venue turned out so dreamy! They had a covered bridge there, gorgeous flowers, and a beautiful area in the gardens set aside for the ceremony itself to take place.

As for the reception, it took place at the beautiful Grand Ballroom of the Doubletree Hilton in downtown Detroit. The ballroom was spacious, beautifully decorated, and had plenty of space for dining and dancing.

Before we went to the reception site, however, we had a fun time driving around in their limo bus visiting famous locations throughout downtown, including Comerica Park, the Fox Theater, and the Joe Louis Fist right across from Hart Plaza.

Newborn Baby Pictures in Metro Detroit

Taking photographs of newborn babies can be so much fun. As photographers, we’ve learned that it also requires a good deal of patience, and can sometimes be… rather messy.

When we had the chance to photograph this beautiful baby girl, we had a great time, but our ability to be patient was also needed. She was wide awake (photographers often prefer sleeping babies), even though we kept her nice and warm as well as ensuring she had been fed recently. As is often the case with youngsters, she just wanted to do her own thing, and didn’t care too much about getting her pictures done. Although we didn’t end up with as many great baby pictures as we had hoped to get, we had a fantastic time, and captured some adorable memories for her parents to cherish for the rest of their lives – which, in the end, is every photographer’s goal!
