Grand Rapids Art Museum Wedding - Hahyoon and Andrew

Wedding at the GRAM
Grand Rapids, MI

Congratulations Hahyoon and Andrew! This cute couple, with their cute families, cute friends, just cut cute cute. The day was so fun with warm smiling faces all around.

These two met through church while they were in college. They knew each other two years before they actually started dating. After about four years together, they started planning a wedding. Andrew surprised Hahyoon at home one day when he wasn't supposed to be there, with a ring! It was private, quiet, and perfect. They celebrated with wine and string cheese.

Some plans changed for us on the big day, due to a boisterous parade right where the ceremony was supposed to be- with loud generators- so we all adjusted to a new plan, still at the GRAM, which was truly amazing. Nothing could spoil the bigger meaning of this day for Hahyoon and Andrew.

What a beautiful day to celebrate! I am honored that I got to document it. Enjoy the preview!

Gaslight Village -Hahyoon and Andrew

Grand Rapids, MI
Engagement Session

Hahyoon and Andrew, the cutest couple, have been together for about four years. They met through church and school-both Purdue grads. While Hahyoon was grabbing coffee for this session, Andrew told me that SHE told him she liked him while surrounded by friends at a party.
Cute, right?

Andrew surprised her at home with the proposal. He wasn't supposed to be there that night. It was very intimate and private, with string cheese and a bottle of wine. 

These two have lived and traveled all over, and I'm grateful that they ended up in Michigan. This wedding is going to be AMAZING! A wedding at the GRAM, downtown Grand Rapids. I cannot wait! Stay tuned.

We finally had warm weather, after months of cold and gray, so we were eager to get out and about. We stumbled into "Cute Things" on the sidewalk. It was like a sign or something. (Hee hee). I absolutely love the bus stop images. It's like a peek into their loving world, with lots of laughter.

The bus stop images made me think of that song, which is super fitting because it talks about getting married in the future…

”Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say
Please share my umbrella
Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows
Under my umbrella

All that summer we enjoyed it
Wind and rain and shine
That umbrella, we employed it
By August, she was mine

Every mornin' I would see her waiting at the stop
Sometimes she'd shopped and she would show me what she bought
All the people stared as if we were both quite insane
Someday my name and hers are going to be the same

That's the way the whole thing started
Silly but it's true
Thinkin' of a sweet romance
Beginning in a queue

Came the sun the ice was melting
No more sheltering now
Nice to think that that umbrella
Led me to a vow

Every mornin' I would see her waiting at the stop
Sometimes she'd shopped and she would show me what she bought
All the people stared as if we were both quite insane
Someday my name and hers are going to be the same”
