Location and art by the Detroit Design Center

We brought these modern wedding gowns to cinematic life with striking black and white imagery and sleek beauty looks at the McGregor Memorial Conference Center of Wayne State University. The building's unique architecture, designed by renowned architect Minoru Yamasaki, played perfectly with our look.

For this feature, we honored 8 metro Detroit business leaders by bringing art to life. The art team created this canvas in studio and had the lettering done separately. We then photographed each woman in studio, matching them to our action shots.
