understatement! the day started at Linda's parent's beautiful home where i had the honor of doing
Linda's make-up look for the big day! their wedding took place at the gorgeous
Gross Pointe Academy Chapel , followed by an awesome cocktail hour & reception at the
Royal Park Hotel. their band,
The Twin Towers, were off-the-hook &
as always, working alongside the radtastic videography team of
Music Box Productions is
always a pleasure! below is their sneak peek, but be sure to check out even more photos in their slideshow which is at the end of this post!

i have
truly enjoyed every time we have conversed & been able to get together. some of my favorite memories would be all of us just hanging out in the studio room doing Linda's make-up trial
to the esession
to cafe sushi

ENTIRE wedding day (duh!

Michael was ready to see his bride!
...and of course looking as handsome as ever!
here comes his bride!
their expressions & excitement was priceless :
wahooooooooooooooooo! CONGRATS to the new mr. & mrs. Pedrosi!
can we say cuteness overload with their ringbearers, flowergirls & junior bridesmaids????
i told them that they could scream at the top of their lungs at the end... & they took me very seriously!
the ladies!
Linda with her gorgeous sisters, also her Matrons of Honor :
the guys!
love this shot of Michael's ring :
there were a ton of great accents all throughout the day... this sharp tie, for instance! :
Bellisario Florist did such a magnificent job with the flowers :
the newlyweds!
i *heart* this shot of the bridal party walking away :

this is an inside joke i will leave between Linda, Michael & myself...
-- but it was such a funny moment & i just adore her expression here i had to post it!
some more images of the dashing groom :
and of course, the radiant bride:
Linda & Michael are also awesome Bocce players... so of course we had to take a few by the Bocce court in the back of the
Royal Park Hotel :
and just a few of the many wonderful details :
the groom's cake was something else!
during cocktail hour there was lots of love...
... and smiles to be seen everywhere :

during the toast :
Michael & his brother, also his Best Man, Paul immediately following his toast :
the rings!
