Catherine + Ben - The Slideshow

School is back in session and I am more behind than usual. Click on the title of this post or here to see some highlights from Catherine and Ben's wedding.

East Lansing Wedding Photography - Catherine + Ben

We were honored to document Catherine and Ben's wedding yesterday. The ceremony took place at the MSU Alumi Chapel and the reception was at the MSU Union. The couple met at MSU so their venue choices were a perfect setting to celebrate their special day.

It was HOT yesterday but the bride, groom and entire wedding party were such good sports roaming around MSU campus for some fun candids. Catherine especially kept the spirit of the day in mind as several mishaps took place that would have gotten some brides down. Catherine kept a smile on her face and truly made the best of it.

Catherine and Ben have such a wonderful chemistry as well as an amazing group of family and friends, whose love and support were evident throughout the day.

I have a special place in my heart for Pronovia's wedding gowns, so when I saw this gorgeous one, I knew it would be a good day.

The flowers by Corinne at Sebesta Design were amazing!

The back of the wedding gown was equally as beautiful with the row of buttons.

Mirrors and light, yea!

Stunning!

Ben and Catherine opted for a first look in order to get all of the candids done before their evening ceremony. I like how you can see Ben's face in the reflection of the glass too.

Sunny roof top...bring on the flare...another yea!

The RIDE!

Back to the chapel to seal the deal!

And then to the MSU Union for the party!

Loved this cake!

So sad I forgot to sample one of these.

I really like when the wedding party gathers round the first dance.

Heartfelt and very funny toasts by the maid of honor and best man.

The couple's view.

An incredible band, featuring Royce the Voice, kept the dance floor packed from the first song.

A final goodnight. I love this shot.

Congratulations Ben and Catherine! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek and that you have a wonderful honeymoon in Arizona!

East Lansing Wedding Photography - Lindsey + Dan

Lindsey and Dan were married at the charming MSU Alumni Chapel and had a beautiful reception at Eagle Eye Golf Course and Banquet Center. The weather forcast called for rain showers, but aside from a few sprinkles it was cool and cloudy...a photographer's dream! The clouds looked ominous and I knew I had to make use of them in a few pictures.

One of Lindsey's requests was lots of fun pictures of the wedding party around campus. Given the time, those pictures are always some of my favorites as well.

If you get married at the MSU Alumni Chapel, I will take this picture of your shoes. I love the lines, especially with high heels!

Gorgeous!

Okay, I hope the bride and groom don't mind me joking here. I have one large umbrella. It is blue and gold and says University of Michigan on it. Yes, I know I am endangering my own life carrying it around East Lansing, but it does keep people dry if we need it! So I got teased today by some of the members of the wedding party about the umbrella since they are MSU grads. Well, I got to tease them a little bit when none of them knew quite how to get to Sparty. No worries, this U of M grad got us there ;-)

Fun wedding party candids? Follow me to a stinky alley please.

Dramatic clouds call for a bit more dramatic lighting. Some of my favorite bridals ever.

Eagle Eye looked beautiful!

Congratulations Lindsey and Dan! Thank you for sharing your day with us. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek and that you have a relaxing honeymoon in Mexico!
