Brooklyn Michigan Resort Wedding – Melinda and Rick

Brooklyn Michigan Resort Wedding – Melinda and Rick

Melinda and Rick were married on June 7, 2014 at Sauk Valley Resort in the Irish Hills of Brooklyn, Michigan. The facility is best known for having sports and band camps in the summer and only allows a few weddings and events each year. The resort is only a mile away from Michigan International Speedway. The wooded landscape and private lake provided a beautiful backdrop for Melinda and Rick’s formal wedding photos.

My day started with the guys getting haircuts and shaves at Roosters in Toledo. Then I drove to Gemini Salon and Day Spa in Chelsea, Michigan to photograph the girls getting ready.

Then we headed to Brooklyn and the resort where the girls finished getting ready. While I was waiting on them, I was able to capture a some of the wedding reception details and some of the pre-wedding photos.

The mother of the bride made the flower girls dresses, and the Weddings Wrap Infinity convertible bridesmaids dresses were found on Etsy.

Melinda and Rick chose to do First Look photos on the balcony of the Brooklyn resort.

This allowed us to be able to do a few of the wedding party photos before the ceremony. And we finished taking them after the wedding. We took a few more down by the lake after dinner.

After the bride and groom’s first dance, everyone danced the night away with Doug Bermick of Professional Sounds.

The groom’s brother was given a special tribute for his military service.

For added fun, we had our Kurt’s Kustom Keepsakes green screen photo booth there for all of the wedding guests to enjoy. They even made a scrapbook for the bride and groom with their pictures.

Congratulations Melinda and Rick, and good luck with all of your future endeavors.

Winter Engagement Photography – Sara and Jason

Winter Engagement Photography – Sara and Jason

Sara and Jason wanted winter engagement photos in the snow and this past year we had plenty of it! They started at my portrait studio and then we went to their house for some outside shots in the snow. Here are just a few of the fun photos we captured during their winter engagement photo session.

If you think these photos are fun, wait until you see their wedding photos!

Toledo Bridal Show – City Chic Bridal Show at Toledo Radisson

It’s time for the Fall Bridal Shows! The first one of the season will be held this Sunday, August 3, 2014 from 12 noon until 3 pm at the Radisson Hotel at the University of Toledo (formerly Toledo Hilton on the Medical Center campus).

Tickets are $5 in advance by contacting Radisson Toledo’s wedding and event specialist Julie Meltzer at (419) 381-6800 or emailing her at: Julie.Meltzer@Radisson.com. If you haven’t given her your RSVP, don’t fret. You can also get tickets at the door for $10.

Every bride will be eligible to win great prizes donated by all of the vendors and sample the Radisson’s great hors d’oeuvres and desserts. There will also be specialty action stations like my Kurt’s Kustom Keepsakes green screen photo booth. I’m not totally sure where we will be, but at this point, we have been told we will be located in the “Man Cave!”

My green screen photo booth is nothing like what you think of when you think of a photo booth. Instead of the traditional or “retro” photo booths that are enclosed or have pipe and drape around them for that closed in feel, we are an “open air” photo booth. That means that we have a 10 foot wide green screen for the background, but the rest is completely open for all of your guests to watch the fun that is going on.

So how does green screen work? Well, I’m sure you have at some point watched the weather on tv or have seen some digitally enhanced movie. Well, green screen photography works the same way. Your guests get their picture taken in front of our green screen. (It is so wide, we can fit large groups!)

Our computer then takes out the green background and replaces it with the background your guests have chosen. The cool thing about it is that most of the time, they pose for the background, instead of a picture!

Another difference with our photo booth compared to the others, is that we actually print a full color ready-to-frame 4×6 image for everyone in the picture, for EVERY picture! And, it only takes a few seconds to get your prints! Plus, we don’t charge extra to do this! We also offer a great scrapbook option (additional cost) that your guests will sign and decorate using the photos (we print an extra one for the scrapbook) that they take in the photo booth!

Don’t miss out on your chance to see the Radisson Hotel’s preferred vendors, including Kurt Nielsen Photography, and experience the one of a kind City Chic Bridal Show on Sunday, August 3, 2014! I can’t wait to meet you and talk about your wedding!
