Dan & Alma | 8.28.09

Dan and Alma were married at the top of the dune
at Tunnel Park this weekend.
They had a small ceremony, but what stood out to me was
the love among friends and family, many who had come from Mexico,
where the couple lives.

I brought my friend Trisha along to second-shoot and we were both
having so much fun capturing the details, and watching the sky change as we waited for the ceremony to start…

Hydrangeas in soft colors – a classic.
Overlooking Lake Michigan, the calmest I have ever seen it…

Ave Maria sung for the processional.


Minutes before the ceremony began I captured this sky,
with the light hitting the water. No rain fell during the wedding!

Alma was walked down the aisle by her mother,
and led by two adorable flower girls.

The ceremony was joyous, full of humor and warmth,
and I had to pause a few times just to listen and
realize what a gift it is to be a witness at these weddings.
I never want to take that for granted.

I wasn’t the only one taking photos that day!
I had to get one of the guy with the cool hat!





Husband and Wife! Such a happy moment, they stopped to give
lots of hugs as they made their way back up the aisle!


The whole group immediately after the ceremony.

Candids like these end up being some of my favorites – I love her expression!


A few quick portraits after the ceremony.
Everyone was ready to head down to the reception site,
but I couldn’t let these two go just yet.




Favorite! Alma is so stunning.

Pies from Crane’s Pie Pantry at the reception.
I love a beautiful wedding cake, but I also love a unique approach to
dessert options… One of my favorite food images ever!

Dan and Alma, I wish you all the best in life.
Felicidades, y muchas gracias.
Your wedding was beautiful!
