    Aaron arranged for one of the groomsmen to accompany him on guitar as he sang to Shannon during the reception. What song you ask? Their song, of course. Yep, he raised the bar for all of the unmarried men in the room. ; )

    TheOne




    I am SO excited to announce our newest wedding collection, aptly named The One. What is The One? It's a collection born from the need to free couples from the constraints of time while giving us the freedom to do what we love best...create amazing wedding images.

    The One is a coverage-only package which gives couples the essentials and allows them to add other elements either before or after the wedding, as desired. To coin the phrase made famous by Volkswagon, "It's what the people want."

    What can you expect from The One? Everything you need and far more than you expect. It's just that simple. 

    The One Collection - In Detail:
    • Photographic coverage by Dionne and Joe Haglund (a crazy-fun husband and wife team) 
    • Up to 12 hours of continuous coverage
    • Timeline assistance and planning 
    • The Reveal - a carefully planned (and quite emotional) pre-ceremony meeting of the bride and groom 
    • Bride and Groom and Bridal Party photographs captured pre-ceremony allowing our couple to greet and mingle with their guests during cocktail hour (giving us the perfect opportunity for great candids)
    • Unlimited images captured
    • Unlimited locations
    • Custom image processing including color enhancement and unique treatments (900-1200 print ready images on average)
    • Complete collection of  first edition 4x6 professional prints in a one-of-a-kind image box
    • Edited digital files on DVD with printing permissions
    • $4,200 (including sales tax)
    The One - quite possibly the most perfect wedding collection and at a price that's almost too good to be true. 

    Want to know more? Give us a shout; we'd love to meet you!

    An amazing destination wedding in Siena, Italy which my husband and I were thrilled and honored to be part of. These are just a few shots from our post wedding session which took place at the villa where the wedding was held. There are so many more images and details to come. Such an incredible country and to think we barely scratched the surface. Just WOW.

    We are both very excited and honored that the awesome wedding of Christy & Pat made Vintage Glam Weddings blog today! This is especially exciting for me as anyone who knows me is quite aware of my love for all things vintage and my obsession with the decadence of 30's. If you've not yet laid eyes on this blog you're missing out on the best vintage eye candy around!

    Check it out!!

    Are you the kind of couple that dares to be different? Do your visions and plans for your wedding truly embrace your individuality and stray from the norm? If so, read on...

    We are offering our services FREE of charge to the couple that refuses to settle on “status quo” for their big day! Email us at dhaglundtsg@gmail.com and tell us all about your unique arrangements for your big day and if your wedding stands above the rest, we'll be in touch.

    Entries are due by June 30, 2009 and the winner will be announced July 6, 2009.

    The Nitty Gritty:

    - Wedding date must be in the month of Dec 2009 or any month in 2010; eligibility is based on our availability.

    - Wedding location DOES NOT need to be in Michigan. Hey, we're always looking for an excuse to pack our bags so if you're having a destination wedding in our outside of the U.S. we're more than ready. Our services remain free of charge though all hotel and travel expenses must be covered by the bride and groom. A pretty good bargain any way you slice it! ; )

    - For MI based weddings we will provide the couple with up to 10 hours of continuous wedding day coverage with two photographers (myself and a trained associate), an online gallery of your images for 120 days, and your complete collection in 4x6 professional print. You are welcome to purchase additional prints, albums, edited digital files, and other product as you wish.

    - Destination weddings come with even more perks which will depend on when we arrive and depart from your location. Just let us know your plans and we'll fill you in on all of the extra cool stuff (and it really is cool).

    We look forward to hearing from you!
