Love stories that blend tradition, emotion, and beauty are the ones that truly linger in the heart. This unforgettable wedding at Cranbrook House & Gardens in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan and the elegant Andiamo Banquets Center in Warren, Michigan was nothing short of magical—from the couple’s intimate first look to a vibrant Zaffa celebration and a breathtaking reception that dazzled every guest.
A First Look Among Cranbrook’s Blooming Gardens:
We began the day capturing the first look amidst the timeless beauty of Cranbrook House & Gardens. With its romantic architecture and lush landscaping, this venue was the perfect canvas for candid and emotional moments. As a candid and traditional wedding photographer, I always aim to capture real, raw emotion—and the couple’s expressions when they saw each other for the first time were truly priceless.
Romantic Couple Portraits in Bloomfield Hills:
After the first look, we wandered through the historic gardens for couples portraits that showcased their love and the natural beauty of Michigan in full bloom. The soft golden light, elegant bridal attire, and timeless backdrops created stunning images that speak to the essence of unfading love.
A Ceremony Steeped in Faith and Meaning:
The traditional church ceremony was filled with reverence and joy. Surrounded by their closest family and friends, the couple exchanged vows in a setting that reflected their shared faith and commitment. As a photographer, I focused on capturing the quiet moments—the gentle hand squeezes, the teary smiles, and the sacred stillness of their union.
The Joyful Celebration of Zaffa & Arabic Wedding Traditions:
Following the ceremony, the celebration continued with a lively Zaffa, a traditional Arabic wedding entrance filled with drumming, dancing, and the vibrant energy of culture and family. Capturing this powerful tradition was a highlight of the day—it’s moments like these that bring life and movement to a wedding gallery, telling the full story of a couple’s heritage and joy.
