What a crazy couple of months it's been here at abby rose photo!  I've been blessed to have so many amazing clients this season and have been busy, busy, busy!  This is all good, of course ;-)  But - the blog has been waaaay behind.  I just thought I'd take a minute and share some peeks at what I've been up to this last month!  These are all sessions I hope to blog more of - but, the priority right now is actually getting images to my clients!  So - if you've been watching and wondering why you haven't seen your photos posted, it's not because I don't think they're amazing.  I've just been REALLY busy (and add planning my own wedding into the mix and things get REALLY nutso!). 

Soooo....without further ado, here is a preview of what's to come!!

Here's the lovely natali, who celebrated her bat mitzvah back in May (I posted some of these on facebook but they haven't made the blog just yet!)

We had SUCH a fun day with Chris and Jeanine shooting around Ann Arbor.  These two live in Florida and are getting married there next year - but, Chris did his undergrad at U of M and proposed here, so A2 is a special place for this couple ;-)  They flew in just to do this shoot with me - how awesome is that?!  I think it's clear from these photos how totally in-love and happy they are - truly, a joy to photograph.  I'm jealous of whoever gets to shoot the actual wedding ;-) 

SO MANY images I just love from our session - it was hard to narrow it down to just a handful to blog! 

Jeanine looked gorgeous - LOVED her dress!  Makeup by my pal Amanie, hair by the always fab Julie of Imagine3.


 
Pretty pleased with myself for working in some MAZIE AND BLUE!!

This was just a great wedding day - one of those perfect, easy weddings where everything just goes so well.  The weather, the couple, the venues - everything was just gorgeous!  Matt and Kirsten, and their friends and family, were so nice and easy to work with (even though I kept calling Kirsten "Kristen" all day!).  Here's a selection of favorites from the day

I have been a bad, bad blogger lately (planning your own wedding in the midst of wedding season will do that!).  here's just a *tiny* sneak peek from a fabulous wedding we shot a couple weeks back.  Full blog up soon - maybe tomorrow!

Steve and Jillian are an awesome couple - and had just the kind of laid-back, creative wedding that I LOVE to shoot!  Their day was a great representation of who they are - as people and as a couple.  Their reception featured a zombie caketopper, movie trivia, and, for big-time cool points, the original dawn of the dead score played throughout dinner service.

Let's start with Jillian's dress.  What a dress!  I just adored it - cascading ruffles, flower details - and the fit was amazing!!

one of the bridesmaids created the lovely bouquet using flowers fresh from the market

Kristen and Brandon are a lovely couple - and the story of how they met is just adorable.  Brandon was close friends with Kristen's older brother growing up - and always had a crush on her.  Kristen famously told him she was "out of his league".  Well, they reconnected years later in Chicago, and romance bloomed ;-)  Tommy and I had a great time photographing their wedding earlier this month!

Kristen rocked a beautiful Vera Wang gown. 

I'm super-excited for Medha and Salim's wedding this October.  Here's some of my favorites from our Ann Ann Arbor engagement session

a few favorites from our eshoot in Lansing

This was a great Ann Arbor wedding!  Michelle and Andreas were married earlier this month at the Michigan League, which is a lovely venue for a wedding.  It's always a treat for Tommy and I to shoot so close to home ;-)  Here's some favorites:

If you're a fan on facebook, you've already seen a peek at this lovely wedding.  Liz and Peter were married last month at St Thomas in Ann Arbor, followed by a reception at the Gandy Dancer.  We had a great time spending the day with them and I"m so pleased with these images!  Enjoy!

Liz's dress and earrings (bridal nerd moment: Liz, are these JCrew?  If so I'm looking at the same ones for *my* wedding!!).
