When I became a wedding photographer back in 2012, I never could have imagined ending up here. "Here" as in having couples-turned-lifelong-friends, shooting hundreds of weddings at the most beautiful venues in Metro Detroit, and fueling my passion for travel by adventuring from coast to coast. It's such a dream and privilege to serve couples like you on a daily basis!
In the heart of Detroit’s winter wonder, Liah and Jack’s modern wedding at the iconic Westin Book Cadillac was truly spectacular! This stylish duo, hailing all the way from NYC, brought the warmth and sparkle of their love to Michigan’s chilly climate. And let me tell you, their wedding day at the Westin Book Cadillac Detroit was absolutely magical!
From the get-go, the excitement was palpable. Liah and Jack, surrounded by their nearest and dearest (who all traveled to Detroit for their day!), kicked off the day at the with preparations that were filled with laughter, love, and a whole lot of stylish flair. The moment Liah stepped into her gown, hearts stopped – absolutely STUNNING!
Don’t even get me started on their first look. The sheer happiness in their eyes was a sight to behold, a moment of pure, unadulterated JOY! These are the moments I live for as a wedding photographer.
Choosing Detroit in the winter (and making it so stylish at that), Liah and Jack showcased their love for the city’s unique vibe and their adventurous spirits. I personally love winter weddings in Detroit – it’s such an underrated season to get married here! Plus, Liah and Jack planning this modern, stylish extravaganza from NYC? No small feat, but they pulled it off FLAWLESSLY, ensuring every guest felt the warmth and joy of their special day. They even made sure to include personal touches like incorporating their ADORABLE dog Bodhi all throughout the day.
In one of the grand ballrooms at the Westin Book Cadillac, Liah and Jack exchanged their vows, immersed in the luxurious ambiance of this iconic venue. The palpable love in the air complemented every detail, seamlessly woven into the fabric of their ceremony.
Fast forward to the reception – did they throw a party! The dance floor was packed with guests grooving and moving, celebrating Liah and Jack’s marriage. And when Liah emerged in her second dress? Jaw-dropping. GORGEOUSNESS at its finest! Sneaking off for those extra couple’s portraits was a BLAST – capturing their love against Detroit’s winter backdrop at the Westin Book Cadillac was an absolute thrill!
Liah and Jack’s wedding was the perfect blend of style, joy, and outright FUN! Capturing the essence of their day, from the heartfelt moments to the wild celebrations, was an absolute honor. Their love story, set against the vibrant backdrop of Detroit, was truly inspiring. Here’s to Liah and Jack, may your lives together be as joyful and love-filled as your wedding day!
