Anna + Nico

Italian Wedding in Detroit, MI

Every huge beautiful Wedding always has to start with the smallest of meaningful details. The dress, the ring, the shoes- which in this case were in fact Kate Spade Keds! But it’s love that truly starts the whole story, and keeps it going for a lifetime. And to help preserve their first chapter together the bride and groom wrote letters to each other to exchange and read the morning of their wedding. Let the love story begin!

Of course we also know no good love story is complete without the people who matter the most, so Anna gathered up her best girls, Nico his best guys, and last Summer they said I do, Italian style, with ALL of their family there to celebrate. It might have been a big party later in the day but earlier it was still low key and sweet as Anna got dressed and had her first look with her girls and her Dad.

After the I Dos at Our Lady of Victor in Northville, MI we had to make a very special stop. An unexpected venue for the day, but one we couldn’t miss- Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit to see Nico's Nona, which is Italian for grandmother.
Warning. These images will melt your heart and turn on the tears. But again, another part of the love story we couldn’t leave out.

Before our last stop for the Reception at the Italian American Club in Livonia we took advantage of the stunning Detroit Institute of Arts and celebrated the new Mr. and Mrs with their whole bridal party!

Annnnnd now for these images we’ve been holding out on you that we’re pretty sure would make the front and back cover of their love story they are writing! Such dreamy moments!

Madison

Vintage Boudoir Session in Historical Downtown Detroit, Michigan

You’re going to want to sit down for this one. We’ve brought you Wedding blogs that have brought you to tears, we have showcased Engagement Sessions that have made you feel all the love, but we have never shared anything this fierce on our blog to date. And we don’t know if you are ready for it. We weren’t. WOW.

It’s nice to play in the light during the day. but at these shoots we want to capture all sides of you, so let’s darken things up, and slip into the shadows for a bit, embrace that dark side for a moment!

Alright, time to change into something more comfortable. Think vintage, think romantic, but don’t think Marilyn Monroe because we threw a little BoHo vibe in there too and what we got was a totally artistic and powerful Boudoir Session that left us speechless.

This was a gift to Madison’s soon to be hubby (keep an eye out for their wedding on the blog as well!) so we had to make sure it was glamorous and made a statement. For that reason we knew an outdated or overused local hotel would NOT cut it. If you’re wondering where these were shot we rented an Air BnB, drove from Port Huron to Historic Downtown Detroit and did it up right!

In many ways we also kept the day super simplistic and fun. No crazy props, poses, or multiple appointments, I did her makeup, Amazon hooked up the lingerie, and the rest was all left up to this gorgeous girl and that to die for natural light flooding the space! This last outfit we totally adore because it completely says BRIDAL boudoir in the most elegant and stunning way.

To say we’re not obsessed and over the idea of another Boudoir shoot would be a straight up lie. We can not wait to capture and celebrate more beautiful brides (or any woman!) so please reach out with any questions you might have or to book your own Boudoir Shoot with us by clicking here!
