Lauren and David – Detroit Wedding

I’ve never been a second shooter, photographers assistant, or whatever you would like to to call it so I was SO excited when my friend  (and phenomenal photographer)  Chris, called and asked if I could help him out at a wedding.    Not only was I getting to photograph at a fabulous location with fabulous people, but I was also really excited to see how Chris worked, learn a little about his technique…and just observe some.   As some of you may know, I am a completely self-taught photographer.  I never took photography classes (except for one “how to use the camera” class) nor  have  I ever interned with another wedding photographer….so this was a great experience!

The wedding was actually three weekends ago in Detroit at the Detroit Yacht Club on Belle Island.    Lauren and David made for an incredibly beauitful and sweet couple. As you will see from the pictures,  David is obviously enamored of his bride and isn’t afraid to show his love!  Beautiful.  Here are a few from the day:

Unposed, Lauren took a moment before the ceremony to see her guests arriving and calm some nerves…

Chris in action….

Lauren and David had a traditional Jewish ceremony.   The chuppah was made by Lauren’s parents making the ceremony even more personal.

Reception fun:

A few from the formals:  I didn’t do any posing, but rather I photographed from the side….attempting to capture a different angle than Chris.

This is my favorite from the day:

These next there are all rather similar but I couldn’t decide between them so…..
