Katie & Robert - Engaged and In Downtown Detroit

I finished Katie and Roberts Engagement session around the same time as Jon and Tinas but I didn't want to post them both at the same time (no show stealing) So finally with much anticipation here are a few of my favorites from their downtown detroit photo shoot. Do note there was a Tiger game that night - big mistake considering we planned to meet in front of Fox Theatre. It worked out though because I got some great shots of some tigers ticket scalpers and fans. Enjoy! 080813_0012 080813_0025 080813_0007 080813_0004 080813_0094 080813_0097 080813_0073 080813_0001 080813_0040 080813_0044 080813_0068

Engagements - Jon & Tina

Just finished editing the photographs of Jon & Tina. They had quite a few of their friends do engagement sessions in Downtown AA so they wanted something a little bit different. Both UM alumni decided they still wanted the AA feel but to have the look be a bit more natural. The Arb was their final choice. One of my favorite shots of the of summer is the pose of them lying down on the ivy. It feels like such an amazing foreshadowing of their future and commitment to each other while at the same time seeming dark and beautiful. Also note that we met with a really ferocious dog that was thankfully behind a fence. I got as close as I dared and snapped a quick shot! After shooting at the ARB we went to campus near the engineers arch where they had their first date. Rumor has it if you kiss under the arch one your first date you will get married. They both actually made this gamble and kissed that very first date under the arch. They are getting married this September. Finally, on my way home I took a self portrait of myself walking down S. University. 080812_0098 080812_0096 080812_0080 080812_0075 080812_0063 080812_0058 080812_0038 080812_0044 080812_0021 080812_0033

Celebrate! Jewish News

Just got the March 2008 Issue of Jewish News Celebrate in the Mail today. I was really happy to find that they published a few of my images from the Hiller Hughet Wedding along with the Golden Bat Mitzvah. I love the image of Laurie Hughet walking in front of the Cranbrook Art Museum. Emerald City Design did an awesome job with their wedding and DeeDee Hoffman did an amazing job sprucing up Tam O'shanter Country Club. Here are the photographs from the magazine.

Thank You Notes -

Hello Everyone - ok I'm not going avoid the obvious. I humbly admit I'm not one of the best bloggers ever but I have heart to do better this year. The move and my new house has really swamped me this fall winter with all sorts of extra cirriculars but now that thats done I should have more time to keep up this spring/summer. I've had so many great clients this last year and so many great photographs. So many great photographs I wish I could share - One thing that amazes me is that I can't even remember all the photographs that I take. Last night I started sorting through wedding pictures for an album project that I'm beginning and I was like...wow...good work Blaine. I guess its so easy to get bogged down with so many different projects and life that sometimes its hard to remember what your really doing. This last couple days I have been organizing thanks you notes from the past few years. I have so many they are all so special. I am thankful to have a job that is so valuable to people and that provides people with something that will last for so long. I take so many pictures of guests and events that I know that I don't even know how many people I've blessed. I'm attaching a link to download my "official" word document of thank you's but I also wanted to scan one that I really liked. Thank You Link

Its a papyrus thank you note. I am really impressed with that company personally and am always pulled in to look at their different textures and colors for their cards. Here is one from a client I had in October of 2007. The wine bottle on the front is actually a thin wine bottle with little notes inside.

Phuket Thailand - Trisara Resort - Pnang Nga Bay -

From Viva Las Vegas heading out to Fiji to do a Trash the Dress bridal shoot I wanted to give a little taste of one of the highlight weddings of my spring. Sharyn & Peter were married in Phuket Thailand in Late April and their weddng was gorgeous. Trisara Resort is one of the premiere resorts on the whole Island. Their ceremony started right on the beach and lead to the reception held on one of Trisaras 4000 square foot residences. Two days after the wedding Sharyn Peter and I took a longtail boat out to Pnang Nga Bay to do a day after shoot. All of it was like a fantasy for me and I'm sure Sharyn and Peter felt the same. Take a look at their highlight slideshow.

Here are a few of my favorites -
