John & Erica: An Ypsilanti Wedding

June 18, 2011






















It was a great time getting to work with Abby Matthews of Abby Fox Photography on this wedding over in Ypsilanti. She had me along as second shooter (I'm doing that a lot these days!) and it was great to work together and catch up. Abby went to GVSU with me, we had a few classes together, and it's always great to see a colleague doing an amazing job in the wedding business. It was a beautiful day at the Polo Fields Golf Course, which was full of beautiful backdrops (and a personal fave of mine, willow trees!). We had tons of great photo opportunities, even if we did walk in front of a few golfers, oops!

John and Erica were married in the afternoon and the party got started after fun round of portraits on the course, which we reached via golf cart... fun! The guys in the wedding party were very amusing to work with, and you will also see below how much I LOVED the flowers. Beautiful gladiolas for the reception centerpieces, and the bouquets were just full of vibrant color, my favorite! The party got started right away, and even though Abby and I didn't get back to Grand Rapids until almost midnight, it was actually a very fun day. Enjoy the photos below.
