Dustin Francis Photography

Lindsay, Nick, and I met up on a very big night in our area…it was game 7 of the Stanley Cup playoffs and our Red Wings were in it.  Unfortunately they lost, but we love them still.  I met Lindsay and Nick through Zayna and Rani who got married last year, so I knew they were going to be my kind of people.  I photographed them in Farmington at the Governor’s Mansion that is actually a little museum of sorts.  I had fun with you two and I’m sorry the Wings lost Nick…we all are 🙂

Enjoy your pics!

Love the light here 🙂

Lindsay and Nick just bought a house, so I thought this was fitting.

Love the expressions here.

They did some of this…

Cute!

My fav of the day…

Here ya go Nick.  I showed them this one on the back of the camera and Nick loved the way Lindsay’s eyes looked.  No photoshop there.

It is fitting that since Emily and Jon are my first wedding of the season, that they also be my first engagement session as well.  We met up in Kerrytown downtown Ann Arbor and hung out and grabbed some great shots in that area.  I hadn’t seen Emily or Jon since Jessica + Chris’ wedding last year, so it was great to see them and hang out a bit and get to know them better.  We had lovely weather and after a few ‘warm up’ minutes, Emily and Jon got comfortable and we had a fun time shooting.  We made our way into the famous Zingerman’s and tried quite a few yummy cheeses and I think we were all tempted to take some home with us.  After shooting, we vetured downtown to one of my fav places to eat, The Blue Tractor and Emily and I got their ever-so-good Mac and Cheese…mmm.  What a great way to start out the season and I’m really looking forward to seeing Emily and Jon on their wedding day along with many other familiar faces.  Enjoy your pics you two!

Super sweet!

Zingerman’s…SO good.  Love…even better 🙂

“Yes please.”

I love a good piece of cheese…

Emily is definitely my kind of bride with those heels.

I wish spring lasted longer, I say the same about fall though…silly transitional seasons.

Love the green dress too.

Follow the red brick road.

C’est l’amour!

I heart moments like these 🙂

These too!

Cuties!

They will make a fine husband and wife…

Stairs can be fun.

“No Dustin’s were harmed in the making of this image.”

I love this color…

Is this their secret hidding place?

Last Sunday on a super chilly day, I drove to the Kalamazoo area onto Western Michigan University’s campus to photograph Melina and Jonathan.  They got hitched last month and decided to go back to a place they spent many, many, many hours at together and apart.  We shot mostly at the College of Engineering where both Melina and Jonathan had many classes as well as worked.  The building was impressive to say the least and I think if you did a lap around it, it would be a couple miles.  Melina and Jonathan’s interaction is so cute and it was nice to photograph a couple after being married.  Jonathan has some of the greatest and most amusing faces and though Melina might give him crap for it sometimes, you know she loves him.  On with the pics!
