I was thrilled when my buddypal’s daughter, Brie, asked if I would shoot her fun outdoor wedding to Eric. I’ve been friends with the family for decades and it was such a joy to be part of their celebration. It took place at the couple’s old farmhouse in rural Ypsilanti. Here are just a few of my favorites from a June wedding in Ann Arbor’s cool cousin, Ypsi.
Brie peers through Eric’s ring, just like she did during the ceremony.



In Michigan, pretty much everywhere you go is “Up North.” I’ve even jokingly said sometimes going south is considered “Up North.” But when you hop in your buddy Farina’s car and travel three hours up the righthand side of Michigan’s mitten, you’re definitely Up North — no air quotes needed.
I took this amazing and beautiful sky photo — appropriately — exactly 30 years after our amazing and beautiful daughter Skye was born.

My wife, Marci, holds reasonably still for a 30-second-long time exposure on my iPhone, kinda/sorta secured to a selfie stick with a plastic tripod bottom. That’s the Milky Way as seen from Down Under in Collingwood, NZ.
