Classic and Candid Wedding in Grosse Ile, MI | Kara + Kevin

During our initial meeting, I could tell Kara and Kevin were going to be so much fun to work with because they both love to laugh and they aren't afraid to be a little silly! On the morning of their wedding, Kara stepped into her vintage-inspired fit and flare wedding dress with the help of her mom and bridesmaids. Every part of Kara's dress was gorgeous and it had just a bit of glam, but I especially loved the back details and her long, elegant train! She looked absolutely stunning as she met her dad at the church's aisle, and Kevin's face lit up with so many emotions at the sight of his future wife as she walked towards him at St. Anne's Chapel in Grosse, Ile. . .

Fun and Whimsical Beach Wedding in St. Joseph, MI | Ashley + Tim

Ashley + Tim couldn't have asked for a more beautiful wedding day in St. Joseph, MI! Their intimate ceremony took place right on silver beach and their reception at the Shadowland Ballroom included a carousel! Coolest cocktail hour ever goes to these two for having cotton candy and popcorn for their guests while they enjoyed rides on the whimsical carousel creatures!! This fun vibe worked beautifully with all of Ashley's details and the sea glass and lilac color palette. . .

Modern Kensington Court Wedding, Ann Arbor, MI: Jen + Kyle

On Sunday mornings, a lot of people like to sleep in, make each other breakfast, go for a walk with the dog(s), sip coffee, and read the newspaper (although I guess most people do that on their smart phones now). On one such Sunday morning, however, Kyle woke up at 6 AM because he just couldn't stay asleep any longer; he was just too excited. After taking Jen's dog, Nala, for a walk and watching the minutes tick by to 7 o'clock, Kyle couldn't stand it any longer! Enough was enough! . . .

Classic Outdoor Wedding at Great Oaks Country Club | Jen + Nick

Jen and Nick's wedding way was so beautiful, elegant, and an all around classic wedding, but more importantly it was all for two people who have some of the kindest, most loving souls! Both Jen and Nick share a common love for golfing, and Nick even proposed to Jen on the golf course! It only made sense that they would get married outside on the green and overlooking the course at Great Oaks Country Club! . . .

Grosse Ile, MI and Silver Shores Waterfront Wedding: Rachel + Steve

There is something so honest and wonderful about the way Steve looks at Rachel. . . and when they looked at each other as Rachel walked down the aisle in the intimate St. Anne Chapel in Grosse, Ile, MI, they were instantly connected. Rachel's dad gripped her arm as they walked toward Steve and I could see the emotion of the day start to well up on his face. This moment when Steve saw Rachel for the first time was a moment he and both families greatly anticipated! Steve and Rachel had dated each other since high school and this day was finally here and no one could contain their excitement! . . .

Elegant Lavender and Champagne Gold Wedding, Troy, MI: Jennifer + Patrick

In the past couple of weeks, the importance of family has become paramount to me. Both of my parents recently were hospitalized, at the same time, for potential life-threatening illnesses, and every day I am EVEN MORE thankful for the blessing of my family. This is one reason, amongst so many others, why I loved spending Jenny and Pat's wedding day with them; it was all about family and being together! . . .

Understated Elegant Church Wedding, Albion, MI: Shannon + Thomas

I was sitting at my desk, back in March, and working my way through my Monday when I received an email in the afternoon from my college friend, Shannon. As I read the email for a moment I thought, "Oh my gosh! Did I miss her getting engaged on Facebook?!?", but as I read farther Shannon explained that her and Thomas weren't even officially engaged (the ring hadn't arrived yet!) BUT that they were starting to plan their wedding and were curious about my availability between July and September! . . .
