Henry Ford Museum Wedding
I've never seen a more perfect autumn wedding. Every detail was very well thought. The wedding took place inside the historic Henry Ford Musuem in Dearborn, Michigan. I haven't visited the Henry Ford Museum in ages. Now that I've been back I had a chance to recall everything I haven't seen in ages while also being able to photograph a wedding there.
This is one of the bridesmaids getting ready. This makeup artist actually did a great job. Everyones skin looked very beautiful.
This is Erica the bride in her most beautiful Gown. She totally looked like marilyn. Very perfect for the theme of feel of the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.
Meet the mischievous ring bearer. He was pretty excited and wanted to show me his little dance. So I just snapped a couple frames and get the perfect shot. He's a handful but very adorable. It was difficult trying to keep him to stay still.
This is the groom Donald or Donnie right before the Wedding
This is Donnie and his best man right before sunset in front of the church.
Their ceremony started a bit late and with the autumn sun coming down faster and faster it was quite difficult to get enough light. Luckily, it worked out with well my fast new 2.8 lens. Erica looked so happy the whole time.
This was immediately after the ceremony. I shot this by foofing off the wall for those technically curious. They couldn't resist some time together alone. With my luck, I was able to sneak this photo without being noticed. I did zero prompting or directing. They just look very good by themselves.
This is their first dance together as a married couple. This lighting technique of crosslighting was learned from Bruce Dorn. I thank him very much for that.
Heres a close up of their first dance. I'm sorry i'm a big fan of the first dance. I feel like thats my favorite part of the wedding to photograph.
This is another one of them dancing a little later. Not their first dance. But of their second dance.
This is a photo of her father and her dancing. I love the moment of this photo.
They hired a polka band and was asked to do a wedding march after the dances. It was something different just puzzled me.
Check out the huge plane that they were dancing under.
This is the bouquet toss. All the women got pretty excited for the bouquet. The maid of honor had a huge height advantage. Surprisingly, she didn't get the bouquet.
