The lilac bushes were in bloom in perfect timing for Frank and Karen’s session…

Frank couldn’t help going off script for an unexpected kiss!

I adore this next shot.. now THAT’S a kiss!

The weather began to get rainy and cold, so we went inside for a bit. Karen made this amazing dress herself!!

I love Karen’s smile!!

I had to show off Karen’s amazing shoes! Girl has great taste!

The day began in the open fields of Grand Ledge. It was much colder than it looks- but these two kept each other warm!

I ADORE Jessica’s smile. Seriously, how can you look at it and not smile with her??

Lansing’s Capitol building kept a watchful eye on our high-five action!

(The shot below on the right is a “free lensing” shot- which means removing the lens and holding it manually away from the camera as you shoot through it. Super hard to nail, but the look is oh so worth it!)

Later, a heavy misting rain set in, in PERFECT timing for some epic night lighting!!

The wedding day is coming up fast! Joel and Jessica, I can’t wait to see you again and rock your wedding photographs!

We started their epic session at the ever-gorgeous Detroit Institute of Arts…

I just adore Kasandra’s smile! <3

Haha… I couldn’t resist a bit of “Thinker” fun..

We dropped by one of Detroit’s iconic spots: the Fox Theater!

This back alley’s rich colors caught my eye right away..

These next two shots- this is exactly why I love these two. BAM.

After a quick dinner date, it was off for some competition at the local arcade/bowling alley!

Pictured below: Jeff’s eternal bragging rights.

Jeff and Kasandra, I had a fabulous time with you! I can’t wait for the wedding day!

Jacob & Rachel. Lancelot & Guinevere. Elizabeth Bennett & Mr. Darcy.

Brendon & Paige.

A deep, true love that burns bright and endures through thick and thin is one of the greatest gifts in life. I am so glad to know that Brendon, one of my close childhood friends, has found a love like that. The incredibly lovely Paige is a very welcome addition to my extended “family”, and it was so wonderful to be a part of their happiness by shooting their engagement session!

The wedding is coming up fast, and I am super excited! In the meantime, enjoy these favorites of mine from Paige and Brendon’s engagement session. Be sure to like Infiniti Photography on Facebook to be the first to see the wedding photographs!

It was a very cold day in Ann Arbor, and the sun played peekaboo in the clouds..

This little spot was crazy hard to climb into, but I knew it would be perfect for on-camera cuddling. Paige and Brendon, you guys rock for trusting me and climbing in there haha!!

Love, love, love this shot… <3

FYI, Paige, you are 100% fashion model material! <3

The gorgeous ring is a reminder of future hopes…

This next shot was an experiment based on the Brenizer method… 74 images were stitched together to manipulate the depth of field.

Compari’s had been the spot for Brendon and Paige’s first date! We hit it up for a few awesome shots and a delish dinner.

After dinner, we headed out to Dave and Buster’s for some arcade action. The competition was on!!

Back into the photobooth! Brendon and Paige had made their mark at D&B’s several times..

Air hockey, race cars, dinosaur hunting, jet skiing, pinball… you crazy kids!

At last, the clock struck midnight and it was time to turn in. Brendon and Paige, I had an amazing time with you! I can’t wait for the big day!!

Jacob is one of my oldest, dearest friends. He was my little brother (the nerdy one), and his family was my second family. I’m proud of the man he has become, and from the moment I met sweet, amazing Payton, I knew they were a perfect match.

The excitement was tangible when Payton arrived at the Kingdom Hall… friends and family were getting things ready, as Payton began the day with a gift for the bridesmaids and flower girls…

Payton’s mom kept her laughing all day long!

With the dress on, it all was getting to be real! Payton started cheering “I’m getting married! I’m getting married!”

I could tell that Jacob was getting anxious to see his very soon to be wife…

He lit up the second he saw her <3

After the family portraits, we headed out to the Howell Carnegie Library for some fun with the bridal party!

We arrived at last at the gorgeous Howell Opera House. The upstairs area boasts the original stage!

Downstairs, meanwhile, the tables were set and the reception was ready to begin! I was blown away by how perfect that blue and red looks for a wedding!

The bridal party likes to make an entrance…

Jacob and Payton had selected some gorgeous decor- personal touches like these initials and canvases from their Lansing engagement session!

The gorgeous dessert table was lovingly prepared by family and friends, including the homemade treats!

The Howell Opera House is simply gorgeous. Wood floors and amazing brick walls- I adore it!

The photobooth was in full siwng! Here’s a few of my very favorites! (want to see more or get prints? Head over to the full gallery, here!)

This party was CRAZY!

The best man had to have a dance with the groom, of course. Tradition.

Payton paused to spend a quiet moment with her grandmother <3

And all too soon, it was time for goodbyes..

Jacob and Payton, I love you both dearly and wish you all the happiness forever can hold!
