Upon arriving at George George Memorial Park in Clinton Township, Michigan… We were surprised to see just how many photographers were here with clients! Having never heard of this gorgeous park, we are happy to be able to add this locale to our growing list of “favorite spots for a photo-shoot”.
There’s something to be said for the level of comfort you can attain in working with a client multiple times leading up to their wedding day. This awesome couple, who were wed at the Silver Shores Waterfront banquet facility in Wyandotte Michigan, were no strangers to us and our “go with the flow” photography techniques once the time came for their wedding day. We had worked with them as photographers for their engagement session, as well as two family sessions – one in a studio, and the other was a lifestyle shoot. As a result, by the time their wedding day arrived, it was like visiting with old friends!
One of the most alluring aspects of photography is the fact that you can take some really incredible shots at any time of the day or night. As photography is simply the ability to capture light, it makes perfect sense that “Long Exposure” photography plays on that key concept. The difficult part however, is how to capture the light to create those tantalizing images you see in all of the magazines and the internet.
With this blog post, I hope to show you just how easy it is to capture gorgeous scenes for you and others to cherish for a lifetime. Read on to experience the 7 easy tips for amazing long exposure photographs that will overall improve your long exposure photography.
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!
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.
