shaina & jesse...

It was a perfect end to a full summer of weddings...Jill and I traveled to the other side of the state, to Saginaw for Jesse and Shaina's wedding. Again the weather was brilliant, with blue skies and a cool breeze.

Their story started at the workplace where Jesse spied the new intern and despite warnings from his mom to not pursue a "student" they were meant to be together (and his mom is delighted!). I love the friendship between these two...and when they look at each other there is pure love and joy for each other.

Jesse and Shaina wanted to wait for their first glance to happen at the ceremony...so we headed out after the ceremony all around town to capture some great pictures. My favorite spot was the zoo where Matt, one of the groomsmen, worked his charm and got us in for free. We had so much fun on the carousal and matching up the guys in their "penguin suits" with...well the penguins!

The celebration ended at the Temple theater, another new favorite venue. It's a historic theater that has been converted into a reception hall. My favorite detail of possibly all my weddings is the marquee with Jesse and Shaina's names up in lights! The reception was so fun and very emotional. I don't think there was a dry eye after the speeches.

Enjoy a few favorites and the slideshow at the end...
