This wedding. This wedding was everything. So stunning, so much love, so much happy. Just the way I like it.
The week leading up to their wedding, I stalked the weather apps on my phone as I always do and it kept saying: rain. Check again; rain. Check again; rain & 30 mile an hour winds. I kept thinking, “No! This can’t happen to Sarah & Pat!” They’re so sweet and they planned this whole thing from across the country. Well let me tell you, their Westin Book Cadillac Detroit wedding was absolute perfection. One bonus to 30 mile an hour winds is it can do some freaking gorgeous things to hair and veils. I LOVE movement in photos and we didn’t need any help with that on their day.
Sarah & Pat’s day was gorgeous. Both their ceremony and reception were at Detroit’s stunning and classic Westin Book Cadillac and some of my favorite vendors on earth worked with them to ensure their day was perfection (amazing work from Jen House Designs & Jill Sollars as always). Their day was full of love and FUN! You guys, I seriously had a blast photographing your day and wish you a million congratulations! Cheers to a beautifully perfect couple :) xo, e
