University of Toledo Wedding Reception – Sheri and Mark

University of Toledo Wedding Reception – Sheri and Mark
University of Toledo Wedding Photographer
Sheri and Mark had a small destination wedding in Portland Maine over this year’s Memorial Day Weekend.  On June 14th, they had a beautiful day for their University of Toledo wedding reception.  It was the very first wedding held at the new Koester Alumni Pavilion on the Sullivan Plaza at the Glass Bowl.  The guests were comfortably seated under a tent for dinner, and the hors d’oeuvres  and drinks for cocktail hour were located in the pavilion.  Their Maine beach style wedding reception included a clam bake and lobster shaped frosted cookies.  Decorations included a sketch of the “Plans of Portland” and many of their photos from their wedding ceremony photographer Emily Delamater.  They creatively used many items from their own home as decorations.  They used an entryway table for the guest book and folding doors to hold the seating cards.  The wine that was served was chosen for their wedding during a recent trip to Judd’s Hill Winery in Napa Valley.  Here are some photos showing the details of their University of Toledo wedding reception.  I arrived early and they were still decorating, so some of the photos show the progression of how things were arranged.

To add to all of the fun, Sheri and Mark also had my Kurt’s Kustom Keepsakes green screen photo booth at their University of Toledo wedding reception! Some of the backgrounds were taken in Maine specifically for their home reception. One was an image of them from their wedding. The guests had so much fun posing with them! We created one of the backgrounds using their stationary logo.

But the best part about having Sheri and Mark’s wedding reception at the Alumni Pavilion was we had access to the Glass Bowl for photos!

Brooklyn Michigan Resort Wedding – Melinda and Rick

Brooklyn Michigan Resort Wedding – Melinda and Rick
Brooklyn Michigan Wedding Photographer
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.

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.
