Amy & Nick's "Country" Wedding!!!

I have spent a little bit of time today going over our summer weddings and just HAD to post a few from Amy & Nick's August 16th wedding! Nick and Amy have a horse farm up in Michigan and also attend many rodeos, which Nick often competes in. So of course their lifestyle had a big influence on thier wedding day!
And what a gorgeous day it was!!!

Trash the Dress!

This is such a cute idea! This bride-to-be went out and bought a cheaper, but beautiful wedding dress and wanted to have a shoot at Maumee Bay Resort. It didn't matter how dirty the dress got, which was great for those "in the water" shots! The photographs below are from the shoot and are adorable! Great shoot Stevie!

Brand new parking!

It's a beautiful day today! The sun is shining bright and it's nice and cool. Fall is right around the corner. We just had our parking area redone and it looks amazing!! A great job done by Mike and his crew from Toledo Paving! Thanks guys!

Happy Birthday to Jon Hendricks!

Grand Lubell was honored to have attended a birthday party for the great jazz singer/lyricist Jon Hendricks on Sept. 15, 2008. He turned 87 today and has an amazing life. The party began at a private Ottawa Hills home with friends from the Arts Commission of Greater Toledo. The fun continued at Murphys on Summit St. in Toledo. Even at 87, Jon is still singing, making great music. He appeared with an orchestra from the University of Toledo and his Vocalstra. This first photo is of Jon:

Jon is founder of the jazz group Manhattan Transfer. He was also a partner in Lambert, Hendricks & Ross. The talented trumpet player, Marcus Belgrave, joined Jon on stage and is featured in the next 2 photographs.

Audrey Lezbeitz, a French videographer has devoted the last four years documenting Jon Hendricks' life. She and her audio technician Cecelia Foucher (not shown), have spent the week in Toledo on the project.

Joyce Perrin founder of Any Wednesday and Herral Long, a photographer, are seen in this next photograph.

EPIC Rocks Fashion

To be able to attend and shoot at EPIC Rocks Fashion in Perrysburg at Levis Commons this past weekend was extremely exciting for us here at Grand Lubell! It was a chance for us to get out of our normal routine and spend some time with our friends at Sophie's Sister. We also had a chance to use our interactive photoboothlive.com at the event! People loved it, it really keeps the party hopping. We provide photoboothlive.com for weddings, parties, and events like EPIC Rocks Fashion. Here are a few photographs capturing this Toledo event:

Weddings from summer 2008!

We've had some beautiful weddings over this past year, especially over the summer. Here are a few of our favorites:

These are from the Gould & Young wedding on 6/28/08

The details on the cake are beautiful.

The Theis & Alcroft wedding on 6/14/08 was interesting since they all went on a boatride to the reception! Isn't that neat?
