MOLLY + TOM | DETROIT WEDDING

Metro Detroit Michigan wedding photography at the Detroit Athletic Club provided by Kellie Saunders and her team of creative Michigan wedding photographers.

What a gorgeous day in the city for a wedding! Molly and Tom went to school together at Grosse Pointe South, where we actually had their engagement session. You can see that HERE. They have been dating since their sophmore year (high school sweethearts!!!). These two are so easy going, gracious and fun that working on their wedding day didn't feel like work at all. I felt like I was hanging out with old friends.

When I arrived at Molly's mom's house, the feeling of excitement was buzzing in the air. Molly and her bridesmaids were putting the final touches on their makeup and hair. The girls were laughing and having a great time. Molly kept her dress hidden from the girls. When I say hidden, I'm talking she never showed them a photo or anything. She wanted it to be a surprise. Molly's mom helped her get dressed and after a few moments alone with her mom, Molly had the big reveal to her girls. Their reactions were priceless! I still can't believe she kept it a secret for that long. I can only keep a secret for all of about five minutes. When I saw the girls reactions, I kew Tom's would be even better when he saw her.

We headed out to St. Paul on the Lake Catholic church for a traditional wedding celebratory mass. I met up with my sidekick Dionne Haglund who was working with me that day. (By the way - she's fabulous - you can check her work out at www.theshootinggallery.com). Tom wasn't one bit nervous - not that I could see at least. The first thing he did was ask me how Molly was doing. (He is a keeper Molly!!!) They had a lovely wedding mass officiated by Deacon Jamieson and after mass a bagpiper greeted guests as they exited their church.

Belle Isle was where we decided to shoot their official wedding portraits. It was a great choice because we were able to snag some gorgeous images for them before heading over to the Detroit Athletic Club for the reception. Tom is not only a member of the club, but he is quite the squash player from what I hear. ;-)

I hadn't seen the roof since the DAC remodeled it, but wow - it sure is gorgeous!

Join me in wishing Molly and Tom the most happy life together! I'm lucky to have such wonderful clients like them!
