Summer Love

What have I been up to you lately, you ask? Lots and lots of weddings! It's been quite a busy summer and we have had the opportunity to work with so many wonderful couples- here are some of my highlights. There's so much more to see at Tracy & Riva | Modern Wedding Photography- we are updating all the time!

Whitney & Jeremy's Downtown Detroit Engagement Session

Whitney and Jeremy are such a chic and stylish couple! These Detroit natives have both lived away from their hometown for quite a while now, and they had so much fun visiting some of their favorite places downtown. We went to the Westin Book Cadillac where we stopped in at Roast, as well as Harmonie Park, the historic Fox Theater and The Town Pump. Tracy and I are so excited for their 2012 wedding at the Rattlesnake Club!

p.s. check out their photos featured in the Just Engaged section on Essence!

Holly & Brian's Sweet and Vintage Wedding

Holly and Brian were all style and substance. They are a very cool and totally down to earth couple- so into their friends and family, but most of all, into each other. Their wedding was vintage, stylish, and personal. The ceremony was at the totally charming Genitti's Little Theatre and the reception was right next door at Genitti's Hole in the Wall in downtown Northville, MI. The venue was perfect, with the antique photos, vintage storefront details, and awesome staff. The guests had a great time using the photo booth- Holly and Brian even brought a neat talking bubble for guests to leave personal and often wacky messages for them! Everyone had a great time dancing to funk, soul and all manner of great tunes by Matt Hanchon of Mike Staff Productions. It was a fantastic wedding and I had a really lovely time photographing them!

Veronica's "Favorite Things" Bridal Shower

Veronica's hometown friends and family recently had a great afternoon showering her with affection, gifts and marriage advice at her bridal shower at Ocean Prime in Troy, MI. She showed the ladies her appreciation by giving them wonderful gift bags of some her favorite things. Her upcoming Georgia wedding is sure to be fabulous!

Happy 50th Anniversary, Wallace and Rosa!

50 years ago, the day before Valentine's Day, Wallace and Christine (Rosa) were married. They have three wonderful children who threw them a festive anniversary party at the Athenium Suite Hotel in downtown Detroit. All of their close friends and family were there. Everyone had a great time, especially Tory and Yazzy! They got everyone to take photos inside my photo booth, even me! I was very happy to be a part of this touching and happy event.

Elaine and Paul's Winter Wedding

 

Elaine and Paul's wedding was just in January, at The Inn at St. John's in Plymouth, MI.  They never would have dreamed of having a summer wedding- they were actually disappointed that it didn't snow! Their details were silver, blue, icy and sparkly- it was an ideal winter celebration. They are a beautiful couple- so in love and so in tune with each other- we are so happy that we spent their amazing day with them!
