Recently I was able to work with Sacred Hear Major Seminary to photograph the Archdiocese of Detroit’s (AOD) Transitional Diaconate Ordination of 2023. This year the ordination took place at the seminary’s chapel. Last year I was able to photograph the same event, but it was at the Cathedral of the most Blessed Sacrament. I always appreciate the opportunity to work with them and hope you all enjoy the photos.

Back in April I was able to work with the Archdiocese of Detroit and Sacred Heart Seminary once again to capture the ordination to the diaconate. Now this is not a wedding, but I do approach it very similarly as there is a ceremony with very key moments just like we see in weddings.

This year, there was six men. I had previously photographed this event in years before, including in 2016. It was a beautiful event and I enjoyed the opportunity again. I was glad for the wonderful weather we had that day, as it made for some nice lighting indoors. It was a great time working with everyone and hope you enjoy the pictures.
