Elizabeth & Dan | Ann Arbor Wedding Photographer

You may remember these two from their engagement session full of nerdy awesomeness. Well, with their modern chemistry themed wedding, Elizabeth and Dan have taught me the meaning of the word geek-chic. The whole event was beautiful. Elizabeth wore a dress from the same gown shop where I bought my wedding dress, The Gown Shop Ann Arbor. I got to work with one of my favorite planners in the world, Courtney at Petals Planning Co, who designed the whole event. And to pull it all together, Sweet Pea Floral Design provided amazing flowers in test tubes and beakers. Elizabeth and Dan had their own strings to pull, getting us access to the University of Michigan Planetarium and Telescope for some awesome photo locations. The planetarium operator was even nice enough to set the stars to how they would appear on the night of Elizabeth and Dan’s wedding.

But even with all those amazing things going on, my favorite part of the day is still the look on Dan’s face when he saw Elizabeth in her dress for the first time.

    You know how people often say, “The pictures just don’t do [blank] justice.” Well, they obviously haven’t seen any of your work. You captured both the tangible and intangible of our day. You ROCKED it!
