Monroe, Michigan Wedding | Ann Arbor Reception
Jennifer and Richard Married ~ beautiful Winter Wedding
On New Years I traveled down to Southeast Michigan in preparation for Jennifer and Richard’s January 2, 2010 Wedding Ceremony in Monroe Michigan at Zion Lutheran Church with their Wedding Reception at Kensington Court in Ann Arbor, Michigan. I could not ask for a nicer ride in the winter down I-75, sunny day and the highway was empty.
Jennifer and Richard are currently living in Arizona and they came home for the Christmas Holiday to celebrate with family and say their vows in the New Year. Like every Wedding, this Wedding had tons of planning involved. Jennifer and Rich really had a lot of details in their Wedding day. They are a fabulous couple and wish them the best of luck in their endeavors.
The Wedding Reception took place at Zion Lutheran Church in Monroe, Michigan. This Church is a beautiful setup and has plenty of room for the bride to prepare and the groom to prepare and relax. This is my second Wedding at this church. They have isle candles, beautiful stained glass windows, lots of room by the alter, balcony, organ, piano, and more. If you are looking for a Wedding Ceremony location in Monroe consider Zion Lutheran Church.

Flowers by Dennis Winter ~ Winter Wedding Florist
Wedding flowers were beautiful thanks to Flower’s by Winter, Dennis Winter. This is the second time working with Dennis and he really outdid himself again today. There were flowers everywhere you looked, and all of them were just perfect. He told me that he had 150 hours in to his flowers! Now that is dedication. If you like what you see then contact Dennis at:
Flower’s By Winter Flowers for all occasions Dennis A Winter 734.529.5091 734.735.8935I can vouch for Dennis and say that both brides were thrilled with the results. Dennis is a retired Ford worker and he just loves what he does. His prices are too fair and he says that he barely covers his costs, but loves what he does.
Videography by Ikonic Images with Jason Teets
This was my second time working along with Jason Teets of Ikonic Images for videography. He has been a videographer now for five years and does a wonderful job. I found that we work great together and he communicates well with his intentions so as not to get in each others shots. I know that Jennifer and Rich will be pleased with their Winter Wedding videographer, Ikonic Images. Definitely recommend Jason for your Wedding Videographer.

The Wedding Ceremony was perfect at Zion Lutheran Church. Everything was fabulous.
After the Wedding, the bus transported the Wedding Party to Ann Arbor, Michigan where the bride and groom took a Wedding Carriage ride with Ann Arbor Carriage. This was a nice option with wonderful opportunities for Winter Wedding and Ann Arbor architectural images. Jason and I ran beside the Wedding carriage and in front to capture a bunch of images for probably 3/4 mile. It was well worth it for the horse drawn carriage images, and considering it was single digits outside, we stayed warm too! The Wedding Carriage transported the bride and groom around Ann Arbor for an architectural cruise and photography shoot. Wonderful and unique Winter Wedding images!

The Wedding Party met us at the University of Michigan Law Quad and we captured some beautiful Winter Wedding images out of the wind, but still in the cold. Everyone was a bit under dressed for the occasion but we managed to have some fun and capture some fabulous images.
The cold did not hold us back. As you can see the ladies adapted to the winter fun with their styling undergarments.:-)
Last, but not least, the Wedding Reception in Ann Arbor at the Kensington Court just off of I-94. The location is perfect for locating and Kensington Court is beautiful. The staff is very friendly and they accommodated all requests. You didn’t have to wait in line for anything which was really nice and efficient. The Winter/Christmas theme was fantastic and the pianist that Jennifer booked just brought the atmosphere together with warmth and love. The guests really seemed to be having a wonderful time and most of them stayed until after 10pm. This is rare for most Weddings. I had the fortune of a full dance floor for the entire night thanks to Surround Sound Entertainment and DJ Brian Regnier.

Everyone danced the night away. I stayed until the bitter end to get all of the excitement and really document the Wedding day. My day was almost 14 hours of Wedding Photography and 16 hours in total with travel. It was well worth the time for the beautiful Winter Wedding images that I captured for Jennifer and Rich! Let’s keep this party going!
