Look who had a baby! Tim and Tara are the proud new parents of this beautiful, healthy baby boy named Tad Nicholas. He was only about 2 weeks old when we photographed him! Here’s a few of my fav’s:

Business Headshots for Anna
This afternoon we took some business headshots for local up-and-coming licensed therapist, Anna Arciero. We had a great time and I’m proud to say this is the first chance I’ve had to use our brand new in-home studio!
Northville Engagement Photos for April and Brad (Michigan Wedding Photographers)
Ok, I realize that I was a TOTAL slacker in not blogging these guys after the shoot… thanks April and Brad for not shooting me (no pun intended 
)!! This was one of those sessions where EVERYTHING seemed to be working. April is a pretty BEAUTIFUL girl with the most amazing eyes and Brad is a total stud.
The couple are having a Greystone Mansion wedding in Traverse City this fall and I am stoked to photograph it! I can’t wait! These guys make such an amazing couple and anyone can tell when they meet them that they are madly in love with each other. Also, I can appreciate how much time and thought they are putting into planning a wedding that is several hours away from where they live. It’s not easy, so great job guys!

ACP Travels to Maui for Jozie and Jeff’s Destination Wedding
Last month I had the pleasure of photographing Jozie and Jeff’s AMAZING wedding on the island of Maui. Maui wedding photography is so different than what a Michigan wedding would look like at this time of year, that’s for sure! The weather was 80-85F the whole week and SUNNY!!! 
Who wouldn’t love that?!
After the couple got ready we loaded into the car and went to a couple of off-site locations that I scouted a few days earlier for a photo shoot. Once we were done we headed back to the hotel property for the ceremony. The ceremony was on the golf course near the fabulous Ritz Carlton Hotel on the north side of the island, where we had views of breaching humpback whales, crashing waves, and neighboring islands in the background beyond the cliffs. It was literally picture-perfect – just like Jozie and Jeff’s relationship! The two were so excited to get married and it was an honor for me to be a part of the event and witness their love for each other. After the afternoon ceremony, we golf carted our way back to the hotel to eat a dinner at the famous Kai Sushi restaurant at the Ritz. The food was SOOOOO fresh I couldn’t believe it!! The fish we ate was likely caught earlier that day. Unbelievable.
If you are considering a destination wedding, I would HIGHLY recommend the Ritz Carlton in Kapalua, Maui… and flying me out to photograph it! Kristina Harpe is the wedding coordinator there and does an amazing job. Everything was PERFECT! Here’s a few of my fav’s:
ACP Sample Album Design!
Wondering what one of our unique album designs looks like? Check out my sister’s rockin’ Kalamazoo wedding photos from 9/4/09!!! Every album we make is custom designed and fabulous – and of course you approve the final design before we order it! This particular book measures 20×8″ but the fun comes in all shapes and sizes. Cheers!
Nate and Abby’s Wedding Slide Show from Adam Czap Photography – Michigan Wedding Photographers on Vimeo.
Two quick shout outs: one to my friend and fellow photographer Kate Elliott, who took some of these images and worked with me on Abby’s wedding day so I could enjoy it! The other belongs to the boys at Epic Motion for creating that sweet custom animated logo!
Michigan Wedding Photographers: does yours offer a second shooter?
In a recent interview with one of our AWESOME new clients, I was asked, “Do you have an assistant? What do they actually do?” I think that is a great question. The reality is that not all Michigan wedding photographers use associate shooters, but in some cases I question how effective the main photographer is able to be without the use of them. We are usually VERY busy and I find my associates to be an invaluable tool on your wedding day.
I recently assisted my friend Tamara at a wedding she was photographing as a favor (and because she let me try some funky new ideas!). Here are a couple of the shots I took, which look very much like the images routinely captured by my associates when they work with me:

Northville, MI Family Photos with the Johnson’s (Michigan Family Photographer)
Now that there is snow on the ground (finally!), it’s time to reminisce about the beautiful fall weather we had for an extended period of time this year. Here are some fun pics I took of the Johnson family. Dave is a community pastor at my church and their two kids are both really awesome. Judy, the lucky mom of these 3 studs, won one of the charity auction donations I made to raise money for local a scholarship fund. Enjoy!
HDR Photography at Mill Race Village in Northville, MI
Just had my camera on a tripod the other night and decided to brave the cold and experiment a little bit with HDR! For those of you who are unaware, HDR stands for “high dynamic range”, and is a type of photography that combines different exposures to cover a more broad tonal range. Check out these cool shots:
An Auspicious Black & White Wedding – Indian Wedding Photography
Last month I was blessed to be able to photograph Ashish and Vasavi’s fabulous Indian wedding in the Detroit area. For those of you who are not familiar with Indian weddings, it’s much more about the joining of two families than just the bride and groom and I think that’s awesome. Everyone is very supportive and it’s a VERY joyous occasion. There was singing, dancing, chanting, and – oh my gosh – EATING! We worked from approximately 7:30am – 11:30pm! Thank goodness we got fed breakfast, lunch and dinner! Being an Indian wedding, there were, of course, LOTS of beautiful colors. But I decided for this post to only display black & white images because I think they capture the timelessness and beauty of this gorgeous wedding. Congrats guys! Enjoy!
