Classic Michigan wedding venues

We love old things. We live in a nearly 100-year-old house, we own two vintage trailers and we love photographing weddings at Detroit’s historical buildings. Detroit’s boom years in the late 19th Century and early 20th Century is evident in its architecture. Fueled by manufacturing, beautiful buildings in Neoclassical, Renaissance Revival, Beaux Arts, Art Deco, Tudor Revival and more can be found throughout southeast Michigan. We were married at the Detroit Yacht Club, a 1920s Mediterranean-style villa, so we know, if you want to add a little historical elegance to your wedding day, the Detroit area has the perfect wedding venue for you.

The Devil is in the Details

Well, maybe not the devil, it is a wedding after all, but those special touches can say a lot about the couple’s personality and style. Move over devil and make way for the bride and groom!

There's No Place Like Home - Backyard Weddings

You don't need swans and a fastidious wedding planner named Franz like in "Father of the Bride" to pull off the perfect backyard wedding. Simple touches and plenty of love prove that with a backyard wedding, home really is where the heart is. 

Pretty in Pink

Molly Ringwald isn't the only one who loves pink. With everything from pink flowers to pink sashes to delicate pink meringues, our brides love it too!

Inspiration from a Stylish Fall Wedding at Goldner Walsh Garden and Home

We've photographed a lot of stylish weddings throughout the years, but Bethany and Taurus' wedding at Goldner Walsh , a Pontiac nursery complete with historic greenhouses and an amazing outdoor fireplace, took style to new heights. Mixed flower arrangements, feathers and birds were the perfect accents for this fall-themed day. 

Lace, Feathers and Flowers, Oh My!

Veils come in all styles. Whether it is a birdcage veil or a long train of lace, each one is as creative and fun as the brides we've had the pleasure of photographing.

We Love Wedding Cakes

To fondant or not to fondant? From simple buttercream adorned with sugared pansies to a five-tiered, fondant masterpiece topped with a massive spray of orchids, we've seen them all. Whatever you chose, remember to save us a piece.

Scottish Wedding at Addison Oaks - Tara and Matt

With all the kilts, heather and bagpipes, one would easily think Tara and Matt’s Addison Oaks wedding took place in the Scottish Highlands not a park in southeast Michigan.

The beautiful October wedding was filled with Scottish traditions. The groom wore the Clan Campbell tartan kilt and Tara wore heather in her hair, a token of good luck in a Scottish wedding. Following the exchange of vows and rings, Tara was adorned with a tartan sash, signifying that she was now a member of Clan Campbell. The Metro Detroit Police and Fire Pipes and Drums piped the newlyweds out of the courtyard as is tradition to kick off an evening of dancing and fun.

Located in northern Oakland County, an Addison Oaks wedding is the home of the Buhl Estate, an English Tudor-style mansion overlooking a quiet pond in the middle of the park. The perfect setting for a perfect day.
