Amber & Derek

I have been looking forward to Amber & Derek's wedding - they are an incredible couple - plus I love to come home to Ludington. Amber & Derek were married at St. John's Lutheran, a church that has wonderful members and a lovely sanctuary. With a little extra time set aside for photos, we traveled out to the beach house at Ludington State Park. After a quick session at the beach, we headed back to the Ramada Inn for a spectacular reception. Thank you Amber & Derek for choosing us to photograph your day!

Jennifer & Rick

Congratulations to Jennifer and Rick! We had a great time at the wedding and reception. I can't remember the last time I was at a reception and the father of the groom serenaded the couple via accordion. As you can imagine, Jen and Rick's family and friends were wonderful, supportive and fun-loving.

Best 4th evah!

Just back from a sun-drenched weekend at Rothbury. It's been so long since I've had a true weekend off - it was spectacular. See Chris's 3 word reviews at www.qonverge.com/blog

I wanted to share a few pics and comments from the weekend.

Holly - 4
Sun - 0

Don't get me wrong-every day at Rothbury was sunny and gorgeous, but I was one of the few near-albinos that kept their skin lily-white with no burns. I'm sure about 90% went home with sunburn souvenirs.


Celebrity sightings:

Day 1 - 0

Day 2 - 3

This is probably the most exciting to me - not only did we sit with Amanda Palmer (Dresden Dolls - ps - fantastic cover of Warpig) and Jason Webly (Evelyn Evelyn) at the Establishment, but I actually met Joe Sumner (Fiction Plane and fyi Sting's son) Sometimes, I'm so scene it hurts...






Day 3 - 1

Met Scott the Blue Bunny and nearly Amanda Palmer again (but the sun was hot - we left instead)



Day 4 - 2

Within a foot of guy from Widespread Panic and someone else I didn't quite recognize from the festival.

Best food of the festival - Curry


Weirdly Fantastic Show I saw - Of Montreal - small people kabuki theatre - I don't know...


Festival Highlights to me - Rodrigo y Gabriela - I'll just say flamenco meets thrash metal guitar. Unbelievable. Also, everything at the Establishment. And Primus - did not think I would ever see them live.

Overall - we had a fabulous time. I can't say that I've ever been among 40,000 new friends before. I think I'll be back to Rothbury next year.

A night at Rothbury!

Actually, several nights and days at Rothbury. Eidetic Imaging will be closed July 3 - July 7. This might be the most fantastic 4th of July ever! Check the blog - we'll be posting pics from the festival.

Stay safe and have a happy 4th of July!

Allison & Bryan

Allison and Bryan tied the knot at Crosswinds in Whitehall this past weekend. The weather was beautiful, the storms held off, and the ceremony was marvelous. Allison was such a glamorous bride - the dress and the hair were an updated take on vintage - just lovely!

Congratulations Allison and Bryan!
