Wedding Photography in Michigan
This past weekend was a lot of traveling for me. My first Wedding was located in Detroit, Michigan near the downtown area. I drove over Saturday early and arrived about two hours prior to the start of photography. The church was beautiful and so were the bride and groom.

I had a first at this wedding. There was a “gentleman” who was literally thrown in the police car when I was leaving. I don’t want to get into the specifics but it was interesting.
So, this limo that the bride and groom had in Detroit was a Ford limo with a full size truck bed on the back. This limo held like 18 people and it still had a truck bed. The tires were huge and it was a struggle getting the people in and out of the truck limo. When the limo pulled in I could hear it inside the church. It was a BIG diesel.
I left around 11pm from the saturday wedding. I actually worked an extra hour or two for no extra charge. I made it to the dayton, ohio area for the night and crashed at a motel. My alarm rang early at 6am to get on the road to Indianapolis.
My wedding was actually in Cloverdale, IN. I arrived early at the wedding and reception site. Both were on the same grounds. It was a beautiful day and the bride and groom were very easy to work with. We had a great time during the day with everyone. So many random things happened that were funny yet different. One of them was that I was going to do ground shots with the bride and I was walking with her and then I said, “this looks like a nice spot.” When I went to put her down on the ground a 3 foot black snake was right where we were and she screamed and ran. It was pretty funny. Then a guy from Mississippi went over and picked it up. It was fun. See there images at http://www.paulretherford.instaproofs.com
I drove like 900 miles in 36 hours. Got to see a lot of highway and two awesome weddings.
So, I was getting my hair cut yesterday and my hair dresser is a Nascar fan. I don’t really follow Nascar but I go to a race now and then. I am going to the race this weekend in at the Michigan Speedway. Anyways, I said to my hairdresser, “wouldn’t it be funny if junior was gordon’s teammate.” And it happened! Good stuff. It will be interesting this weekend.
Tonight I did something new with my dogs. I put on my rollerblades and took one dog at a time up and down the road. They had a blast and they did awesome! Both dogs ran right next to me. It is like a 1/2 mile loop and they got tired out quickly. I plan to do more rollerblading with the dogs. Cesar, the dog whisperer, recommends doing this with active dogs.
