A gorgeous ceremony on the rooftop of Beas Detroit near Eastern Market, a pit stop for pizza, and wedding portraits at Belle Isle.

Recently featured in the Metro Detroit Weddings Magazine, I knew it was high time I blog this lovely wedding. It was just was such a dream to photograph, not only because their day was so beautiful, but Daniela and Ryan were some of the best people I’ve ever met. They originally hired me to photograph their elopement in Scotland, but covid had other plans. So, they pivoted to a wedding in Detroit, and I flew out there to join them! It couldn’t have been a more perfect day. From the moment I flew in to Detroit they took such great care of me, and were just the sweetest couple.

I feel so honored I got to capture such special moments for them. So many special moments too, but first looks are always some of my favorites on a wedding day, so I have to make mention of these ones. Daniela had one with her father…which quickly turned emotional and Daniela’s makeup was definitely at risk. And then the joyous first look with Ryan who was SO ecstatic and couldn’t stop checking out everything about Daniela’s wedding look. I mean I would too…just LOOK at those cute white boots (which later she’s pictured at the reception taking them off and putting on slippers…so smart).

One thing I will say is it’s SUCH a good idea to have a pizza pitstop in the middle of your busy day. After the ceremony at Beas, we took all the formal family portraits, then walked down to Supino’s Pizza with a couple of their friends. After pizza, Daniela and Ryan were fueled enough to take their wedding photos, and we headed to the Casino at Belle Isle.

TIP: If you decide to use Belle Isle for wedding portraits, be sure you have the correct permit. Here’s a link to fill out a photography permit application for Belle Isle.
