They say you’re not supposed to have a favorite child…
And honestly, I feel like the same rule should apply to photographers and their galleries. 😂
BUT YOU GUYS
I think this one might be testing that rule a little bit. 👀🤍
Because when I tell you I chose 80 PHOTOS to share from Angela + Krystian’s wedding day… EIGHTY. (The absolute max Meta will allow me to choose.)
And somehow, I STILL had a hard time narrowing it down. 😂
But let me tell you why I love this gallery so dang much.
We started the day at the Royal Park Hotel in Rochester, Michigan, where Angela and Krystian got ready and shared their first look.
And the photos we got there? STUNNING.
From the elevator, to the love lock bridge outside, walking through the halls, and that absolutely gorgeous couch in the library. There were just so many beautiful moments and places to photograph.
Then we headed to St. George of Kratovo Macedonian Orthodox Church in Farmington Hills, where I got to witness their beautiful ceremony, which included hand-fasting and those AMAZING crowns.
Afterward, we returned to the Royal Park Hotel and its beautifully decorated atrium for the party.
Which it DEFINITELY was.
From the delicious food, to the speeches, and their first dances, everything was wonderful.
But once the night was dark, and the hour was late, the Polish dance music began…
And all bets were off the table. 😂
Suddenly Krystian’s tie was undone, his family had all joined in, and the dance floor was ✨ALIVE.✨
It was incredible.
Then came the Macedonian music.
And THEN, because apparently the night wasn’t magical enough already, their friend put on the Jewish chair dance, and both Angela and Krystian were lifted into the air to celebrate their day.
But when they came back down?
Krystian, completely caught up in the moment, stood up on the chair, grabbed Angela to join him, and landed the BIGGEST kiss.
I MEAN. COME ON. 😭🤍
The entire day felt like something straight out of a romantic movie, and I was the incredibly lucky one who got to be behind the camera capturing it all.
From the quiet, romantic moments of the morning to the absolute joy and celebration of the evening, this wedding was something special.
Angela + Krystian, thank you for allowing me to tell your story. I’ll forever be grateful to have been a part of such an incredible day.
STO LAT! 🇵🇱 🤍 🇲🇰
And I’m not saying this is my favorite wedding gallery I’ve ever photographed…
But I’m also not NOT saying that. 👀🤍
