I met these two in the fall and I fell in love with them immediately.  Caley’s excitement and the dreamy way Franco looks at her is exactly why I love photographing love.  I photographed their engagement session in October at Stoney Creek Park and it was gorgeous!  Fall was out in full force and more importantly, these two brought the love.  Caley and Franco just mesh.  Their personalities are very different, but also the same, if that makes sense.  Almost a very ying & yang type love.  We had a blast exploring the park and I sooooo can’t wait to photograph their August wedding at Crofoot Ballroom in Pontiac!

Bride: Caley Layman – Retail Clothing Store Manager (Lucky Brand Jeans)

Groom: Franco Vitella – Playwright (and Cool Guy)

Wedding Date: 8.22.2015

When did you meet? – 2009

How did you meet? – Totally on accident! We had the same friends and didn’t even know. I went to help them out with a project for their college class and he happened to be in their class. We secretly asked our friends to keep inviting the other to hang out so we could keep running into each other. We got to talking more and we’ve been best friends ever since
