Tracy & Riva | Modern Wedding Photography

It's been a while since my last post, but for good reason! As Tracy and I have been very busy gearing up for this wedding season, we have also been working on a joint venture, rebranding ourselves as Tracy & Riva | Modern Wedding Photography. We have an awesome new logo, courtesy of the very talented Constructure Design (who also happens to be my talented sister Rita!) and a great new blog.
So I will still be posting my faves on this blog, but please check out the extended postings of the great weddings that Tracy and I photograph together. We would love to know what you think, so please feel free to drop us a note with your feedback!

Sweet Sweet Lily

 Lily is an old friend of mine- I have known her since she was a few hours old. She also seems to be in love with my husband Chris. Every time she sees him she yells "Chris chase me!" and then screams at the top of her lungs and laughs hysterically. She just turned 3, she is a lively gymnast and chocolate cookie connoisseur. I somehow managed to catch her in a rare quiet moment, absorbing a spring breeze....

New Website!

Yay! I just got my new website up and running and am very happy about it! It was an overdue change, but it was all about finding the time to do it. Feels fresh and new, just in time for spring! Drop by and let me know what you think!

Our fair city

My husband and I had some great Friday-night outings that made me feel extra proud of our fair city this weekend:
We went to the Detroit Institute of Arts to see two awesome exhibitions: Detroit Experiences  Robert Frank Photographs, 1955 and The Neighborhood Project by our very own Gina Reichert and Mitch Cope of Design 99. Their exhibition was ending this weekend, but you should keep up with their project online.
Detroit artist and musician Kathy Leisen's art opening, Rock N Roll Dreams, at City Bird, the super-cool Midtown Detroit boutique. We have one of Kathy's paintings and love her work!
Public Pool in Hamtramck had an opening on Friday night featuring Tim Hailey's Take a Chance on Rock and Roll series. Exciting that this group of artists is inhabiting the space formerly occupied by Design 99.
Last but not least, we ate at Southwest Detroit's El Barzon restaurant- the menu is half Italian, half Mexican, and wholly great authentic cuisine from both cultures.We had to make a reservation, as they are pretty full on most weekend evenings.
All in all, an incredibly satisfying cultural and culinary evening, all without ever leaving our city limits (including Hamtramck- a city within the city limits)!
