And Tuesday it is! As I mentioned yesterday, we are currently on a mini vacation here in Michigan. What brings us to Michigan? Well, we met Tiara and Brent when they were guests at a wedding we shot in Carmel last fall (love you Em & Chappy!). They were getting married and asked us if we’d be willing to come out to Michigan for their wedding. Well it turns out that Rico’s sister and family lives in Michigan so shoot a sweet wedding then visit fam all in the same trip? Count us in! The four of us were a match made in heaven really and so it was, that we flew to Detroit last Friday, shot the wedding on Saturday, and have been hanging out in Kalamazoo with our adorable niece since then. The night we arrived it was STORMING….like really storming, sirens, tornado warnings, thunder, rain, trees flying around. We don’t get weather like that in San Diego, so it was a nice change of pace. Luckily however it cleared up by Saturday morn and was beautiful the entire day of the wedding. We had a great time with their portraits at the old Ford Plant and their ceremony in the town square, AND they even had a place for Rico and I at one of the guest tables for dinner! Pretty much it was the perfect day and we couldn’t have asked for a more successful wedding, so there you have it, check out the pics and I’m sure you’ll agree. Tiara and Brent, thank you for being so generous, welcoming, and inspiring…..we adore you and can’t wait to see you again very soon!!! xoxo
And since the last window pic was such a success, we couldn’t help but share another.
LOVE the 5th picture down with tiara on the bed with the bouquet. HOT!
