Let me tell you a tale of how being up at 2am scrolling around Facebook can get you work and a new friend! haha

So I couldn't sleep and saw Stephanie update her status saying she still needed a photographer for her Florida wedding in December and since we were still open on her date, I saw an opportunity to see the sun again before April so I was ALL over it. Ryan and I pretty much only go on vacation when we can book a job in that location so this worked out really well.

Lesia and Jason are living the dream. They have a beautiful old house on 10 acres north of Detroit and it's so peaceful out there. We were able to shoot at their house which I love since it's obviously an important place to them. I think it adds so much more of a personal touch which was really the goal throughout the day. Lesia was actually Jason's realtor back in the day when he purchased the house and that's how they met! As the day went on, we got to know them better and everyone became more comfortable and by the end of the night...well... Jason surprised me a bit. The guy is a dancing machine!

From the moment I arrived, I felt so at ease. There was no rushing around at this wedding, that would have ruined the mojo and I walked into the most beautiful rooms and a the most adorable property. There are plenty of farm/country weddings going on these days, but this venue is by far my favorite. I could have spent hours shooting inside just the house itself. This was another short engagement so everything was kept simple and the guest list was small, but it all looked so well done. And that's just the venue.
