Vintage Love at the Port Huron Train Depot- Engagement

The moment I met Erica I knew I liked her. Her hair was a washed out pink and her personality filled the room. She was fashionable, adorable, and fabulously organized with her notes being color coded and divided by category. She seems to always be happy and excited, which makes the day better. I met her hubby to be, Cory, a few weeks later and he's the perfect match for her. Fashionable, handsome, and friendly. And he wore suspenders. I'm a sucker for men in suspenders.
Getting these two together in front of the camera couldn't have been easier. They just... flowed. There was never a moment where we struggled to get them to connect with each other. They are totally connected and in love. 
We are ecstatic to be photographing their wedding next year! I can only imagine the day! As you can tell their engagement session was already over the top. 
I told them to come up with a story about their love. They brought me this. 
A beautiful young flapper meets a handsome gentlemen quite like Jack from Titanic at the Train Depot when she drops her scarf and he returns it to her. They enter the train strangers and leave soul mates. 
Watch as we tell their love story through photographs.

Natural teen Beauties with a boho twist

This shoot explains what photographing in Michigan is like, in a nutshell. We had planned this shoot with mom in the spring. We picked a date and the weather read cold and possibly rainy. How were we supposed to do sunny boho AND the beach with no sun and goosebumps?
Well, as it goes, summer got really busy, really fast. We all know, in this state, summer lasts 3 months, if we're lucky, so you have to cram everything in in those 3 months! The girls left for summer camps, had all kinds of sporting events, and right before Fall hit, we were finally able to schedule them in!
And, of course, even at the peek of summer, the sun was still missing. Good thing I love working with artificial light, we just made our own sunshine! Off camera flash, a yellow gel, and boom- the best summer day.
I knew the girls wanted to do something natural, with a boho feel so my hubby, the unsung hero to many of my big creative projects (you can meet him here), and I pulled out tons of little down trees and branches out of the yard and now the studio is complete with a real, handmade, 10 ft tall teepee that rocks! 

I extra love this session because it's a time many moms forget to capture, and it's so important, if not the most important age!
You stay on top of the baby photos, but then your child grows in to a beautiful person of their own and you have no idea where the time went. Their photography legacy has a huge hole in it when you look back. The worst part of not capturing this age? It's the last years you will get of them still as a child, full of wonder, and innocence, before they jump on over to the adult side of the world, with it's brutal honesty, hardships, and no return. 

See how we captured these beauties. <3
 

AND. An extra amazing bonus. Mom jumped in at the very end to capture this special time with her girls. They live right on Lake Huron so we got to photograph at their home. That day the water was so beautifully blue, it was the perfect visual ending to the summer.

A family session in London Ontario- pure happiness and true love

A look at family, happiness, and love through photographs.

A Family session shot in
London, Ontario Canada

   When I look through these images the first word that pops in to my head is innocence. Pure Innocence. The joy we see in the beautiful world around us because we are unknowing of anything we should fear.
   I envy children and their way of seeing the world.
   But if you look through these images, you’ll see Mom and Dad have that same look in their eyes, but it’s when they are looking at their daughter.   
   Oh, the magic of family, of happiness, and of true love.

Fairytale Wedding by Port Huron, MI Wedding Photographer ajbc photography

Audrey and Adam.
A young couple who came to us with the most easy going of attitudes. They were getting married and needed it captured beautifully. End of story. They told us the theme was fairytale, and we thought to ourselves, "That's cute. But like most couples, aren't all weddings meant to be like a fairytale?"
Whoa. I will fully admit we were wrong and 100% underestimated the amazingness of their Fairytale (and yes I capitalized it bc it was THAT legit!)
We walked in to an explosion of magic everywhere. Every Disney fairytale you've ever heard about was there, all hand made and put together by the bride and her mom. 
Take a look!

Even when you stepped away from the reception hall, reality was still graced with that magical feeling. True, beautiful emotions were floating around as everyone scrambled to get ready and hug one last time before entering the ceremony. 

When we had just 1 hour to break away and get outside we took them to a local place we had found that looked as though it jumped out of the pages of a fairytale written 100 years ago. The vines, stained glass, and old bricks were just what we needed to make their story that much more real. 

Back at the reception we watched them start their new lives together. Love literally bounced all around that room. It was so strong and true I'm not sure how we all didn't cry. The whole day was truly touching and I'm SO glad we were a part of it.
