Lindsey and Brandon 08-25-12 (Stephanie)

Lindsey and Brandon definitely have eyes for details as they had such a unique and tasteful wedding. I loved all of the decor. Their ceremony and reception was at the T-Plex in Detroit. Most of their vendors were friends, being wedding photographers themselves, it's hard not to pick up vendor friends throughout the years. Amanda Vanvels was their photographer. Julie Keller provided the desserts and did an amazing job at putting the dessert table together. Cristy did all of their flowers and Oliver Wray was their DJ.

 Absolutely love this!

 Since Lindsey and Brandon are photographers it's only natural that cameras are a decor-must. I love these vintage cameras they used as part of their centerpieces!

 I don't know how they found them, but each plate was a different kind of patterned china and each napkin was a different color. Everything on the table looked so good together, with the different types of china and the pop of color from the different colored napkins. If you look closely, you can also see that ball jars were used as glasses. Each guest got a big and small jar. How awesome is that!?

The desserts looked and tasted amazing!

Each guest had one of these on their plate. I absolutely love the saying and think that something like this is a clever way to let all of your guests know your appreciation. 

I know I say this about most of the couples I work with, but Lindsey and Brandon were so laid back and truly wonderful to work with. I'm so excited to work with them in December on a wedding that they are photographing and I am assisting in coordinating.

Congratulations Lindsey and Brandon! 

Lauren and Michael 08-18-12 (Stephanie)

Lauren and Michael were so easy going and a pleasure to work with. Their ceremony was at First Presbyterian Church in Ann Arbor and their reception was at Weller's Carriage House in Saline. The church had an in-house coordinator, so I focused mainly on the reception setup.

Photography was provided by Beth at Capture Photography. Butter provided the cupcakes. DJ Scotty D was their DJ. Family friend's of the couple did their reception flowers and I think the ball jars and type of flowers that were chosen went so well with the rustic feel of Weller's.

 I love the blue-tinted ball jars. I think they definitely add something more to the look of them more than the clear glass ones do

 Each table number was photos of Lauren and Michael at the age of the corresponding table number. So cute!

 Weller's has such beautiful grounds

Who doesn't love a comfy pair of flip flops to dance in after wearing heals all night?

Congratulations Lauren and Michael! Thanks for letting GJE be part of your special day!

Ashley and Adam 08-17-12 (Stephanie)

Ashley and Adam had the perfect day for an outdoor ceremony. It was super sunny and just warm enough so that it wasn't too hot or too cold. They had both their ceremony and reception at Greystone Golf Course in Washington, Michigan. 

Their photographer was Jennifer from Jennifer Grant Photography. Jennifer was hilarious and so awesome to work with.

 I loved the centerpieces!

Jaime and Dan 08-11-12 (Stephanie)

With all of the weddings we've been busy with at GJE this season, it's no wonder the blog has fell behind! Jaime and Dan had a fabulous wedding at Jaime's parents house on the lake. Although the weather leading up to their big day was cold and rainy, the sun finally came out that day and it was the perfect temperature for their outside wedding.

 Decorating and furniture rental was from Deep Drama Design Labs

Jaime wanted the tent to feel like a lounge and I definitely think the furniture and multiple seating areas really brought this feeling to life

 Each table had a different centerpiece. Guests weren't assigned seats but were free to sit and mingle wherever on the property they wished, whether in the tent or at a table down by the dock

 I loved the little pops of color the flowers in mini vases set around the seating area provided. I also loved all the family wedding day photos that were placed around!

Jaime and Dan got married right down by the water. It was such a peaceful and gorgeous spot.

DJ Jonathon Hennings kept the dance floor packed all night and definitely kept the party going. I left after midnight and so many guests were still dancing, they were having so much fun they didn't want to leave!

Other key vendors included A Pair of Photographers, Ceremony music by Robert Jones of Guitar Interludes, Cooking Up Good Taste, and the always wonderful to work with Veronica Kasler who did an amazing job on Jaime's hair.

Jaime and Dan and their families were so wonderful to work with. It was hard not to have a good time at their wedding, they definitely know how to have a great party!
Congratulations Jaime and Dan!
