Couple #1// Stacey & Brian

Wedding Location// Detroit, Michigan

Their Story// Stacey and Brian first met each other at a mutual friend's BBQ and had an instant connection from a far. Fast forward to Detroit Tigers’ Opening Day in Detroit – an unofficial local holiday – almost a year after that BBQ. Brian headed to a bar for a little pre-game snack and a bunch of his friends showed up, along with Stacey! They instantly dove into learning about each other and their first date was one week later...the rest is history!

[quote]The inspiration for our wedding is classic meets modern rock. We knew we wanted to started the day in a historical church in Detroit (built in 1841) followed by a newly built music theatre to allow our guests to dance the night away. We deserve the giveaway because we are genuinely in love and full of life! it’ll be easy and deserves to be captured on camera. A photographer is last item we need to book for our wedding. We have such a love and appreciate for beautiful print work we’re having a hard time finding the right photographer to capture our day. When we saw your work via Style Me Pretty, we just LOVED it![/quote]

Couple #2// Megan & Dylan

Wedding Location// Minneapolis, MN

Their Story// Megan and Dylan met at a game of kickball in Kenwood Park. They hit it off, but didn't really think much of it. A few weeks later Megan went to the Electric Fetus to buy some tickets to Stereolab and Dylan was working behind the counter. As he handed over the tickets, they both agreed they should "hang out sometime." They did, and the rest is history!

[quote]Beyond the fact that they both are music nerds, they work their asses off round the clock trying to finish schooling (both are top students) and keeping up with their jobs. This couple deserves to have a low stress fun celebration with their families and besties! They're crazy, willing to mess around and be funny, and do things the non-traditional way - albeit with traditional influences. They're also just all-around amazing people who deserve to have gorgeous fun photos of what is sure to be a ridiculously great day.[/quote]
