Every wedding photographer has a different definition of digital negatives. At Modern Photographics your time is important to us. The images you see above are the same images you would have on your disk of negatives. The time we spend preparing your images for your proofing is passed on to your disk of negatives. You get the artistically edited images that are all color corrected, density corrected for lightness and darkness, and we have removed multiples of the same image. Our high resolution disk of printable images are yours with every wedding package.

Trash the Dress – Lawn Mower vs Wedding Dress
Aimee and Adam were married just weeks ago. During the wedding the topic of trash the dress came up and for once I stayed out of it. So many times brides get up to the point of doing the session only to back out. So when Aimee contacted me just days after the wedding requesting the session I was excited to be able to offer her and Adam something special. They gave me an open canvas to create something incredible. I asked my friends on Facebook what we should do and the idea of tying Aimee up and having Adam rescue her. Congratulations Jessica for the creative idea. Jessica won a $100 Gift Card.

Trash the Dress Portraits
Warning…. No farm animals were killed in the creation of these images. I almost forgot to post this Trash the Dress session. Amanda & Chris were married on June 27th, 2009. They decided to have a little fun when it came to Trash the dress. Being from a small town in the country, the county fair seemed like a perfect fit. The Kent County Youth fair played host to our photography session. Between the barns, the rides, and the midway a layer of dust started to build on the dress. Luckily for Amanda & Chris we have a river behind the studio for them to wash the dust off. Amanda did amazing in the cold water and played the part well.

Not only was this couple the winner of our Free Wedding Package giveaway with 105.3 Hot FM in Grand Rapids, but they were also the first wedding at the restored Pleasant Valley Church. The media turned out to cover this event and you can read about it at The Morning Sun. Samantha and Kyle were married in this beautiful church near where she grew up. The weather made for a cool sky and the rain let up just long enough for us to take photos at the farm with the tractor. The reception was at the Elks Hall in Alma, Michigan. A great new facility that allowed them to party with over 150 guests. Sound Productions did an incredible job keeping the party going. I was amazed by their professionalism and care for Kyle and Samantha.

It has been a week since the California wedding, but I forgot to post photographs of the wedding reception. Many times I forget about the reception, but I couldn’t forget this one. The setting for the wedding reception was at a river home north of Lake Shasta. The house had like 6 rooms, 3 bathrooms, bar, pool table, big screen tv, huge kitchen, and an incredible yard big enough to hold a huge party. Liz and Seth also had a second place next door rented out for their guests that made the party that much bigger.

*Disclaimer* I asked Liz and Seth about what I could write about this wedding. I am sorry if it sounds kinda redneck.. But it was taken in the middle of a compound in northern California. No animals were killed in the making of this wedding. Awesome wedding in the middle a Northern California compound.

Everything about Day 1 in Redding California was a blast. Great couple, Incredible Food, and fun people. I feel honored to meet the Beer Pong Champion and also a county horseshoe throwing champion. Seth and Liz spent the day putting together the wedding they have been planning for many months. The compound is an incredible wedding location that photographers would be jealous of. Old cars, motor homes, and so much cool stuff for us to play with for our Trash the Dress session on Sunday. Today is the wedding! Stay tuned.

Grand Volute was the host for this wedding and reception. Horrock’s did a great job with flowers and decorations. The coolest part of this wedding was the Dr. Seuss wedding cake created by Mirabella Confections. The event ended as the couple left on a carriage ride by Common Gentry Carriage Company.
