Wedding: Tiffany & Jeff

I know I've said it before, but I just love the getting ready moments... some of my favorite pictures are taken while everyone is full of anticipation.




Tiffany's something old.... her baby bonnet, turned wedding hankerchief... I loved the poem...


Isn't she stunning?




We also slipped in a few shots of Jeff before the ceremony, wiith little sun flare for a something different.


Tiffany & Jeff were married at St. Paul's Presbyterian in Livonia, MI which is one of the few churches that has plenty of natural light for beautiful ceremony pictures!!



Through the stained glass window at the back of the church...


Happily marred!!


Kids are always good for a few laughs...


Their reception was at Burton Manor in Livonia, which is one of the few event facilities that really goes all out to make each even spectacular. Check out their grand entrance - this was definitely one of the most original grand entrances I've seen yet!




There were quite a few emotional toasts...


This flower girl was soooo cute!


First dance..


Their families made a circle around them about halfway through their first dance and it continued through the parent dances. I think that's such a wonderful way for families to particpate in those special moments and you can just feel how strong the love is in the circle.


What a fun party!!






Tiffany & Jeff faced some really difficult family struggles leading up to their wedding and it was simply amazing how so many people came together to make their wedding a joyful celebration. Tiffany & Jeff - I'm so honored that you chose me to capture your wedding day moments... you are so blessed.
