Erica and Andy’s Love Story
Maria and Tyler’s Love Story
La Sala Banquet Center wedding with Tyler and Maria (MY BROTHER!)
It was weird enough when I got married and had to remember to say “wife” and not “girlfriend” when referring to Andrea. Now - my little brother - is MARRIED. And he has a wife. Haha. Love it. I’m finding it very odd when telling people about my brother and his “wife’s” wedding… It’ll take a while to get used to, I’m sure.
They got married at Oak Arbor Church in Rochester, MI. After the church, we all hopped into the huge limo and headed over to La Sala Banquet Center in Rochester which is also owned by Papa Joe’s Gourmet Market (yummy). The place was decked out. The lighting at La Sala is AMAZING.
Being the best man, I couldn’t really shoot the wedding, too, but some of my amazing guys were able to capture the day for Tyler and Maria. I was only tempted to pick up a camera TWICE during the day! John, Sean, and Hal - THANK YOU guys! We also (or should I say “they also”) got to work alongside a great friend of ours - Shannon Williams and Amy Williams of Shannon Williams Photography. Check out his blog post from the wedding. Tim from Mike Staff did a GREAT job, too. And of course - Shutterbooth was there!
Here’s their Wedding Trailer:

Everything was so well thought out by Tyler and Maria; from the cool Converse shoes they gave to all us groomsmen to wear at the reception, to the beautiful cake, their vows, the SONG (they sang to each other during the ceremony… first time I’ve EVER seen that… and first time I’ve EVER heard my brother sing!), their Love Story, and their super cute photo montage that they put together.
We’re so happy for you two, Tyler and Maria. Congratulations!
PS. If you watch the trailer closely, you can see some of my amazing dance moves.
Masonic Temple Wedding - Andrea and Brian: The Trailer
Andrea and Brian were married at The Grosse Pointe Academy. I love the area out there… beautiful houses, beautiful water, and it was beautifully hot. HOT. Seriously - did I mention how HOT it was? We had a raring good time with Nate and Jessica Johnston of Jessica Johnston Photography. And it was our first time shooting at the Masonic Temple in Detroit… there was a LOT of cool stuff to see there.
Check out their trailer… and pay special attention to the dude that picks up Brian… this had us DYING! They started playing Twisted Sister - “I Want To Rock” - and let’s just say - EVERYONE wanted to rock. It was GREAT!

If you’re interested in seeing the original Twisted Sister video, I had a good laugh - maybe you will, too…
Coastline Studios + Epic Motion
They didn’t get married. We just worked together. John - who owns Coastline Studios - and a couple of his guys - Ryan and Jay - worked w/ Lee Higginbottom and I at a conference there. It was great finally getting to meet John and his crew… they were all swell guys.
I’m not sure if you’re familiar with the JW Marriott hotel in Grand Rapids - right across the street from the Amway hotel - but the JW Marriott is SOOOO nice!!! It is seriously one of the nicest and fanciest hotels I’ve been to.
We also visited the Van Andel Museum which was crazy cool - AND we rode on the carousel there. It’s been a lonnnng time since I had done that. And it was about as exciting as I remember it.
Erica + Andy: The Love Story
We just shot Erica and Andy’s wedding this past weekend… they showed this video at their reception and it was well received.
The thing I love about these Love Stories is that it really helps people from both sides - people who know the bride well and maybe not the groom so much or vice versa - it brings people to the same page… So - the day this couple makes their promises to spend the rest of their lives together - for better or worse - everyone gets a glimpse as to how and why they’ve chosen each other. Everyone leaves feeling like they know the couple - not the individual - that much more.
Did I mention I love my job?
Maria + Tyler: The Love Story
You may remember my brother Tyler and his (now) wife Maria - I shot some sneaky video during his proposal to her.
I had the honor of standing up in their wedding this past weekend. It was quite the occasion. Here’s a look at their love story that we shot at Stoney Creek Metropark… a place that has a lot of meaning for the two of them.
My favorite part is when they talk about their first kiss. Man - that is CLASSIC! Love it.
