Back in October I had a free Saturday and connected with Chicago wedding photographer Nate Mathai to shoot a great wedding with him in Troy, MI. I don’t get many opportunities to second shoot, but I absolutely loved photographing this Indian wedding (with an Orthodox ceremony) because the food was awesome, it was really colorful, and they knew how to party! Nate put up his post of the wedding last week here, and I’m happy to see that a lot of his favorites from me were my favorites also.

Melanie and Matt are getting married this summer but they live in New York City, so scheduling an engagement session was a little tricky. They were visiting Michigan for the holidays so we connected last week, and since it was about 15 degrees we shot mostly inside at The English Inn, which was a perfect fit since that’s where they’re getting married in June (and it’s perhaps my favorite venue around Lansing).

Shanyn and Steve got married today in Gun Lake, near Grand Rapids, and it was a great way to start 2010! The wedding party even braved through some outdoor photos in the snow and freezing cold, but I’d say it was worth it:

It’s been a long night (I made it back to Lansing to catch the tail end of a good friend’s wedding) and I’ll have to put a blog post up with some more of the great stuff we got today, including the photobooth, which was again a blast. I think I need to come up with a prize for photobooth picture that gets me to laugh the most, tonight as I scanned through it was this one:

Update: Lots more photos on Facebook now!

Kelli and I have been visiting my family in California this past week to celebrate Christmas. It’s been an awesome trip; snowboarding, catching up with friends, In N Out, and lots more fun. We also celebrated our anniversary out here and went to the California coast and took a short hike through the redwoods.

I’ve been trying to keep up with some email mostly using my phone, so sorry for any delays, but we’ll be back in Michigan this weekend and getting all caught up. Merry Christmas!

Judy and Michael got married today at Holt Presbyterian Church with a reception at The English Inn, and then a traditional Chinese tea ceremony at Michael’s parent’s house. It was my last wedding of the year, and a really great one to end on! But seriously, who gets married in December in Michigan? Oh wait, I did too!
