Diane + Jim, Meadowbrook Wedding – Sneak Peek!

Diane is probably my most excitable bride I’ve ever shot. She has called me every week since her wedding, not to bug me or harass me, but because (I can tell in her voice) she is so excited to see the photos of the day she married the love of her life, Jim.

Jim I had never met before the wedding, so he was, to me, a little intimidating at first…in stature, in profession (lawyer), and in appearance. But I can tell you, the moment I saw the way he looked at Diane, and couldn’ take his eyes off her, I could tell the REAL person was much different. He is very loving, very full of life, and such a warm person; I knew we would get along when I found out his favourite band is ACDC. (The wedding party walked into the reception to THUNDERSTUCK!)

The entire day was spent at Meadowbrook Hall, in Rochester, MI,  a place I have always wanted to shoot a wedding at…and let me tell you, I was NOT let down. I couldn’t speak enough how beautiful it is there, and how well the staff treated everyone. And even though it was HOT, being out in the garden tents had such a nice breeze, you would never have known you were anywhere but paradise.
Best of luck to these two newlywed lovebirds, and don’t forget to tag your friends in the photos on the facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/derekcooksonphotography ! (Hint, if you look along the left side of this page, you’ll see our little sidebar to take you RIGHT to the facebook page! )
