What an amazing day this was! Madison was bat mitzvah'd (is that a word?) last weekend at the Ritz, and it was a BLAST. Dee Dee Hoffman planned the event, and she and her team did a fantastic job transforming the ballroom into a chic nightclub environment.

Madison is just a beautiful young lady, inside and out ;-)

tommy snagged this one:

here's the whole fam

I just love this next shot - grandma surrounded by all the grandkids!

a cute moment before the service

Here's the ballroom - so beautiful!

One of the coolest things for me was walking in and seeing my photos larger-than-life - literally! I did a shoot with Madison awhile back and I was super-excited to see how they used the images to decorate.

and a few more of the pretty details

YUM

so FUN! The Magen Boys came down from Toronto to MC the party

Congratulations Madison! It was such a joy getting to work with you and your family ;-)

ashleigh + christopher | married!

ashleigh and christopher are such a cool and laid-back couple. i've been looking forward to their wedding all year! the big day came and went last weekend at the Henry Ford Museum, and went off without a hitch ;-)

a few quick vendor shouts:
hair: luigi @ luigi bruni
makeup: Amani Mokdad
flowers: Sebesta Design
band: Chateau

I started off the day with Ashleigh at the Ritz, for all the "getting ready" action
here's luigi working his magic:

HOTT HOTT shoes - seriously, to die for.

meanwhile, tommy was over @ the Dearborn Inn with the guys...

ashleigh's veil by etsy seller Portobello

I see a LOT of amazing shoes in my line of work - these are definitely in the top five!!

this flower girl was just the coolest

first look

loved the bouquet and boutonniere - too often I see these giant flower boutonniere's that just don't stay nice - by the time we're ready for pictures, they're practically destroyed! But this looked sharp all day - so, note to future grooms - get a boutonniere that won't wilt or fall apart!!

a few pictures around the garden before their outdoor ceremony at 6PM

so many amazing spots to shoot at the museum - and wouldn't you know it, some of my favorite pictures are made against the wall outside the bathrooms - ha!

love these next two that Tommy captured - really nice behind-the-scenes moments as ashleigh prepared to come down the aisle

such a fun and whimsical cake! by Rosanne @ cakes outside the box

and AMAZINGLY AWESOME cake topper (ashleigh, leave a comment and let people know where you got this - I forget!)

Corrinne did a sweet job with the centerpieces -

these next two are my favorites...

the rings were very unique - Chris picked this out because it matches ashleigh's eyes ;-)

first dance

Tommy and I couldn't resist poppin' in the museum's photo booth on our way out - I heart photo booths!

ashleigh + christopher - thanks for trusting us to photograph your day - we had a great time with you guys. hope you had a fun drive back across the country!
