Ann Arbor Wedding: CJ + Lindsay

This past weekend was a whirlwind for the whole family; my brother-in-law, CJ, got married this weekend! Congratulations CJ + Lindsay! Everything was beautiful, and even though we had a few minutes of rain showers before the reception, things couldn’t have been nicer.

Now, I know you’re going to ask “did you photograph the wedding?” Well, kind of. My assistant did most of the photography so that I could spend the day helping CJ + Lindsay celebrate (how often does a wedding photographer get to relax during a wedding?). Now, I did take a camera, and I did succumb… but the images I created will be the “icing on the cake” when I design their wedding album.

Honestly, the wedding was too gorgeous to NOT photograph. The ceremony was at St. Thomas Church in Ann Arbor, which is a very beautiful church. Barton Hills Country Club in Ann Arbor was the reception location — also an amazing setting. Everything looked wonderful, and everyone had an excellent time.

Now for a sneak peek! Here’s Lindsay walking down the aisle with her father.

Just before the exchange of vows…

…and JUST MARRIED!!

Now, being an aunt, I couldn’t resist getting all the nephews and niece together while CJ + Lindsay cruised around the block before coming back to the church for a few more wedding photographs.

CJ + Lindsay for their “official” first kiss (isn’t the train on Lindsay’s dress gorgeous?).

After wrapping things up at the church, and getting Lindsay’s dress bustled, we had a fun ride over to Barton Hills Country Club — CJ + Lindsay had an escort of at least 5 cars …and some car horns of course!

Here’s the wedding cake. I love the flowers and the icing… This cake really was scrumptious… as good to eat as it is to look at!

After the cake cutting, the matron of honor, the best man (and “helpers”) gave their toasts and the celebration festivities continued over dinner. Here’s the groom and guys having a toast…

And after dinner, it was time to dance! CJ + Linsday danced first, of course:

And then the dance floor was opened for all to enjoy. This shot has my inlaws (groom’s parents) in the foreground. It really was a great party, and everyone had a blast.

CJ + Lindsay, congratulations! We’ve been looking forward to helping you celebrate for a long time, and I’m sure you’re so excited to finally be married. Have a great honeymoon, and enjoy the west coast!
