Erin + Marc’s summer Eastern Market wedding was so classically Detroit. Starting at the new Shinola hotel for their first look, we headed to the DIA for photos before their ceremony and the crazy rainstorm began. Yeah, it was a really crazy weather day – torrential downpour, but then also oddly hot and humid. It was probably the hottest wedding day I shot this year, but also one of my favorite days. These two are so in love and just the sweetest people and I am so honored they had us there for their day. So much love and laughter – cheers you two! xo, e

Their wedding in three words
Breathtaking, crazy, and HOT
Erin’s favorite memory of the day:
After our ceremony, the guests had left the church and our bridal party got back on the trolley. Marc and I were alone with each other for the first time as a married couple, and I remember looking at him and my heart felt so full. The whole day was so busy, my favorite moments were the few times we stepped back to take a moment for ourselves to appreciate the day and all of the friends and family that could celebrate with us!
Marc’s favorite memory of the day:
Seeing Erin in the ally for our first look!
Wedding planning advice for newly engaged couples:
Take your time and enjoy all of the decision making and planning together! The best part about the wedding (besides marrying your best friend!) is being surrounded by of the people you love! At the end of the day no one is going to care what color the napkins are, so don’t stress and just enjoy it!
