Karaoke Brought Them Both Together

Studio Salon 9

Sutton Barn Weddings Whitmore Lake, Michigan | Wedding

Weddings are what I call a beautiful chaos. We plan…plan…PLAN but not everything always goes to plan…like the bride + bridesmaids bouquets were late…so we had to rally and make up the time later for photos with the girls when they arrived. What I love the most are couples like Kristin. The ones who just roll with it, like “OH WELL!!” but more so in a way where the most important part is getting married.

With allll that said, Kristin’s day actually started pretty cool and it was something I had never seen before. Studio 9 Salon was waiting outside the hotel rooms. I remember wondering if that was where Kristin was and it wasn’t until I saw her peek her head around the corner while creeper me was looking into the bus, that I knew it was her and I went right up to her for a big ole hug!! Last time we saw each other, we met up at a carnival for not only my promo video but their engagement session! LOOK at how cool the salon is! The rest of the day was perfection!! Perfect vows, celebrating while signing the marriage license, beer chugs with the guys, crazy fast golf cart rides, toasts about the good times and the future, all the way till we danced the night away on the dance floor. P.S. Kristin can sing and DAMN is she GOOD!!!! After all, Karaoke is what brought them together in the first place!


From our very first meeting with Julie we knew that she was the perfect fit for our wedding. (And we were PICKY) Not only were her photos AMAZING but her organization and professionalism was far beyond anyone else that we had considered. To be honest she kept ME on track for everything! The day of our wedding brought a few stressful situations, but Julie was right there to solve the problem and keep us right on time. My husband and I can’t stop talking about how happy we are that we chose her to capture all of those precious moments throughout our day. (Even our guests commented about how outstanding she was!) She is worth every last penny. No need to look any further, she will not let you down!

Absolutely amazing. From our very first time sitting down to meet her, all the way through our big day, Julie was absolutely on top of everything and there to make sure we were doing great. Her personality shines through her work, and you can really tell she loves doing what she does. We had a very unique engagement session at a carnival and she was on point taking all of the best shots possible. She was the perfect photographer for us, and I’m positive she would be for you too! Prices were great, experience was phenomenal, and the pictures we have to remember are beyond words. Truly an amazing photographer and i couldn’t be happier that we went with her.
