Molly and I had the pleasure of photographing my niece’s wedding in Michigan this past weekend. The main concern leading up to the big event was whether it would be blazing hot sitting in the unshaded garden where the ceremony was to be held. Not to worry: with the temperature in the low 60’s and 30 – 40 mph winds, there was a definite windchill to contend with! But, as with all weddings, nothing could put a damper on this lovely affair which was held at Fox Hills Country Club in Plymouth, Michigan. …and, as I always tell my brides: “you won’t be able to tell in the photos that you were freezing cold”! (except in the photo where the women wore the men’s jackets to keep warm).
As I experienced with Molly’s wedding in May, it is so emotional to photograph a family member’s wedding. It seems like just yesterday that baby Lynn learned to walk at my house when my brother’s family visited us in Minnesota. And now here we are… the day Lynn walks down the aisle to become Mrs. Johnson. sigh…..
Congratulations to Lynn and Brad. Enjoy your honeymoon in Mexico and we can’t wait to share all the photos with you!
The couple seeing each other for the first timeDad and brother were instructed to have tissues on hand!
Lynn's portrait taken at The Inn at St. John's, where she got ready in their bridal suite.This beautiful inn was formerly a monastery.
The Inn has a beautiful inner courtyard with stone steps, ivy, and a waterfall and pond that we used for photos. Also, it helped shelter us from the wind!These men are having just a bit too much funArriving at Fox Hills, with the gazebo in the background where the ceremony will be held.I always try to photograph the room BEFORE all the guests sit down.A "fisheye view" of the ceremony.Exchanging rings. This bridge is on the 18th fairway at Fox Hills. They let each couple have a golf cart to drive around the course for photos. Nice!By this time, it got SO cold and windy - and was threatening rain - that all the wedding party wanted to do was go inside and get warm! ...and the guys wanted their jackets back!
One thing leads to another....yes, it got worse!Can you guess who caught the bouquet?What did he tell her??!A beautiful shot before it started to rain.

Lynn was of course beautiful! My two favorites are the round stone path with Lynn and Brad standing in the inns garden (I’ll order a 5X7 off that please!) and the girls looking ever so COLD with the guys coats on… after the wedding by the bridge. Great job again Jan and Molly!!
Jan & Molly,
The pictures are beautiful and they are a beautiful couple! What an amazing day! Jan, I forgot Lynn learned to walk at 10 1/2 monthls old while visiting you., the plane ride home was not easy with her wanting to walk not sit on my lap. Thanks for everything you guys are the best I am looking forward to seeing more. Love, Donna
