Cass and Ashley

This past weekend I had the pleasure of photographing Cass and Ashley's beautiful, winter wedding at the Brooke Lodge in Augusta, Michigan. There were snow showers throughout the afternoon and evening which made for breathtaking scenery. The evergreens that covered the property were dressed in Christmas lights, creating a brilliant effect in many of the photos. Ashley's dress was princess-like and she wore a snow white, rabbit fur wrapped around her shoulders for warmth and style. She looked absolutely stunning. I had a great time working with this wonderful couple and am confident they will have a long and lovely life together.

Betsy and Chris

This past weekend I spent one of the most glorious afternoons with my clients, Becky and Chris. The weather was absolute perfection! I did, however, keep calling Betsy "Becky" and am so impressed and glad that she called me out. I love when people are straight shooters. Betsy and Chris seem like such a lovely, mild mannered couple that are completely in love. Her is a sample of images from that afternoon, keep an eye on my website for more; this is going to be such a wonderful couple to work with in July, I can't wait.

Mike and Lauren

Two weeks ago I had the pleasure of shooting Mike and Lauren's wedding. I've known Lauren since kindergarten and it was wonderful being able to share in their day with them. They had a beautiful, traditional ceremony at a church in Grosse Pointe followed by a reception at the Grosse Pointe Farms Pier Park. I love fall weddings and their decorations and colors emulated that warm, autumn feeling. I had a great time with both of their friends and families and wish them nothing but the best!

Calling all brides! Are you looking for an inexpensive, reliable and artistic videographer to shoot your wedding day? I have just the person for you, Paul Briles (my brother). Paul has been shooting and editing video for years and is just starting to break into the wedding industry. Him and I work smashingly together! If this is something you are interested in inquiring about, please just shoot him (pbriles@yahoo.com) or myself an email for a quick quote.

Bodie and Melissa

Sunday was the wedding of Bodie (Robert) and Melissa. It was my first time shooting with my brother, who is getting into the biz of videography. We had a fantastic time documenting the day of these two beautiful people. They both have wonderful, loving and enthusiastic families whom are both rich in love and tradition. Being a part of their day was an absolute pleasure!

Brad and Jackie

On Friday afternoon/night I shot Brad and Jackie's wedding. I've been working with them since last fall when we did their first "E Session" and I really have nothing but positive things to say about them. The day was really special and I immensly enjoyed being able to work so closely with a group of great friends and a loving family. One of the highlights of the evening was when Jackie's dad gave them a "present" at the reception, which was a live-feed of her brother from far, far away (he's in the military) on an LCD tv and computer. Seeing the looks on Jackie and Brad's faces was so touching. It was the first wedding that I've cried at while working, way to go Jackie's dad! :)

Dave and Renata

This past weekend was the wedding of Dave and Renata. I grew up down the street from Dave and was absolutely thrilled to be shooting his wedding. They had a beautiful ceremony and reception and I am confident that they will lead a very happy life together.
