Michigan Wedding Photography, Detroit Wedding Photography, Ann Arbor Wedding Photography, Michigan Portrait Photography: by Adam Czap bio picture

Thanks for stopping by!

The short version: my job rocks and I love it!


The slightly longer version:

I grew up in a small town in the thumb of Michigan before earning my bachelor's degree at the University of Michigan in 2005. I was not always a photographer! I majored in English and minored in Political Science through the School of Education. I graduated with my teaching certifications in K-12 for both subjects. During the last year or so of my college experience, I actually got turned on to the idea of becoming a DENTIST, through the help of several roommates and friends who were already going through the process. But I decided to give the 'teaching thing' a try for a while since I had almost completed my degree. I left the educational world having two total years of middle school and high school teaching experience. During my time as a teacher I took dental school pre-requisite classes at night and during the summer at Wayne State University in Detroit... and that's how the photography business got started. I needed a way to pay for my classes without disrupting the family budget!

I created a monster. :-D

Fast forward: I finished all my classes at WSU and decided that I loved what I was doing so much that I was not willing to heavily invest in another career (dentistry) that I might not enjoy as much. Heather and I are both very thankful for how much God has blessed this business in a relatively short time span!

I have an insatiable appetite for learning every aspect of becoming a top-tier photographer. I'm not there yet, but I'll let you know if I ever feel like I've arrived ;-). I'm fun, energetic, easy to get along with, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE people!!

By the way... I'm on Facebook! Feel free to check out my public profile!

Lake Orion Engagement Photos with Elisa and Justin

A couple weeks ago I drove up to hang out with Elisa and Justin at their lake house and had a BLAST shooting their engagement photos. Awesome things we did include: taking a boat ride, walking around on a private island (haha), exploring downtown Lake Orion, and running around a school playground! So fun! Heather and I have really enjoyed getting to know them and we can’t wait till their wedding next year! It’s going to rock! Enjoy the pics everyone!

Dexter and Chelsea, MI Wedding Photos with Joe and Rebecca (michigan wedding photographers)

Hello again from ACP! We’re in the middle of an AWESOMELY busy wedding season, but I’m excited to share some of Joe and Rebecca’s wedding photos with all of you. The church grounds at St. Joe’s in Dexter were beautiful and after the ceremony we took a fun side trip to Joe’s grandparents’ farm for a photo shoot.

The day was so joy-filled and emotional on many levels. As we got to know some of the guests during the day we realized how special the players in this wedding are. This blog post is in honor of Rebecca’s father (seen dancing and walking her down the isle), who recently passed away. I pray the photos we captured on their wedding day will live forever and encourage everyone who views them. Blessings on all of you! -Adam

Belle Isle Engagement Photos with Jay and Lindsey

I grew up going to school with Lindsey, so I was very excited when she told me they wanted us to photograph their wedding! Jay and Lindsey are a super fun couple and have a great relationship. We did their engagement pics on Belle Isle in Detroit on a gorgeous sunny day. After we were done we went into the observatory where I got yelled at for taking pics! Here’s a few of my fav’s:

Royal Oak Engagement Photos with Nick and Stephanie

Heather and I are super pumped about this couple – they are awesome people and we have really enjoyed getting to know them! For their engagement session we wanted to incorporate Stephanie’s love of anything with zebra print, and she was pretty stoked when she found this great zebra print dress for the shoot. I stole the little zebra statue out of their house and thought it would make a good prop :-) .

…we’re also fans of their pets! So cute!! :)

We are both looking forward to celebrating with them in November! Here’s a few of my fav’s from the session:

Don’t let this happen at YOUR wedding!!

Hire us instead.. and we promise not to fall into your baptismal! :-D

Arboretum Engagement Photos in Ann Arbor with Holly and Justin

A couple months ago I met Holly and her fiance Justin. They are some of the most chill and awesome folks I’ve met in quite some time! I knew we would have a good time during their engagement session. I met them at the Arb and we went for a little walk in the park to take pics. After we finished our time at the park we headed down to the Huron River at the site of the Ann Arbor Rowing Club and U of M Men’s Crew team docks… and went for a refreshing swim!! Seriously, who jumps in the water fully clothed?! I love it!!

On a side note, Holly has a flourishing floral business (pun definitely intended!) that specializes in weddings… so all you potential brides out there, listen up! Her prices are very reasonable and her attention to detail is excellent. Can’t wait to see what she comes up with for her OWN wedding! Check out her website at http://www.sweetpfloral.com/
