  • It's here!!

    After what seems like an eternity of development - the new blog is finally here!!

    From now on, all the action will happen over at www.abbyroseblog.com

    This blog has served me well for the past couple of years and will remain online indefinitely (oddly, as sweet as the new blog is, i'm a little melancholy to retire this one!).  I do hope all my Xanga peeps will follow me over and keep in touch!!  But for awhile now I've been wanting something less cluttered, with a more intuitive backend.  And I can't tell you how many people have told me they were unable to comment on this blog because of how difficult Xanga makes it.

    So anyhow - out with the old, in with the new!

    To celebrate, I'm running a special.  For one week, and one week only, all prints bought at www.abbyrosephoto.net - including gallery canvas wraps! - are 20% off.  This is a fantastic opportunity to snag some awesome art pieces at a steal.  Just use the promo code 'blogtastic' at checkout.  If your event is no longer online, but you'd like to take advantage of this, just give me a shout - we can figure something out.

    See ya on the new blog!

  • Ken and Jody are married!

    You might remember these two from their awesometastic engagement shoot a couple months back.  Well - the big day has come and gone, and it was everything they were hoping for

    Jody was such a beautiful bride - she literally glowed!








    They were married at St Mark's Lutheran in Roseville - beautiful ceremony!

    Here she is with her dad just about to walk up the aisle


    I just love this image





    and they're married!


    All of the vibrant colors were fantastic


    a cute little stolen moment after the ceremony


    Here's another little peek at the shenanigans on the party bus!


    First stop - Belle Isle.  Sadly, the trademark fountain is down for the season - but there's still plenty of incredible photo ops to be had!


    rockin' the Detroit skyline!





    Next up - the obligatory Comerica photo op


    And than off to Boulder Pointe for the reception!


    Some pretty details


    I am so glad I was able to sneak off with Ken and Jody during dinner for a few romantic portraits....

    are you kidding me with this light!?!?





    IN-CRED-IBLE!!


    Ken is quite the dipper - I didn't pose this!  i swear!



    And one from their first dance...


    Ken & Jody - what an amazing day!  thank you both so much for giving me the privilege of documenting it for you

    Whew!!  What an incredible couple of months it's been.  Just want to give a HUGE thank you to all of my clients - you all ROCK!  Things actually slow down (a bit) this month - so if you're waiting for your proofs or album designs, they're coming!  I'll be working away the next few weeks, before I head to Canyon Ranch at the end of the month for a super-fun mother-daughter getaway (and some much-needed pampering and relaxation!)  Thanks for the patience

    ooooh - and the new blog is coming!!!  SOON!!!!

    Alyssa and Will are cool.  I've got photos to prove it!









    Can't forget the doggies!  Their dogs are in a roundabout way what brought these two together!





    And now they're one happy family.  yay!











    In addition to being a super-cool bride-to be, Alyssa is an amazingly talented massage therapist!  Check her out at www.kaizenhealingarts.com - she works out of the same building I do! 

    Thanks guys!  Can't wait for the wedding!

    What a fun day these two had!

    All the ingredients for a perfect wedding day were in place:

    A gorgeous bride


    beautiful dress


    fabulous details


    Can't ask for too much more!

    Here's Brad hanging with his guys before the ceremony


    Signing the marriage certificate





    A couple from the ceremony:



    and they're married!


    After the ceremony, we all hopped in a limo to cruise downtown for some photos (We saw no less than 6 other wedding parties around Comerica, LOL!)

    But my favorites were grabbed over by the DIA








    And than off to the reception!









    first dance:


    I was in just the right spot to catch Brad's impromptu dip!



    These two are so happy to be married!


    Thanks Brad and Bridget for such a fun day - hope you're having a wonderful honeymoon!
