Matthes Tree Farm Wedding

MATTHES TREE FARM
Ida, MI

Congratulations Tim and Kayla!! What a cool, laid-back couple. They’d have to be, because it was pouring on the big day, AND the power went out for a bit, and these two just kept laughing and smiling. They definitely have the right perspective already and look at the bigger picture of things. Whatever happens, they’re laughing side by side.

Tim and Kayla met in high school, through family and friends. They were together for about 5 years as a couple before Tim proposed up north, just the two of them.

Mr. and Mrs., thank you so much for choosing me to document your story! I can’t wait for our winter session!

Special thanks to Keriann Nicolson-Brent, of With Love Events, LLC for being such a kick-arse wedding coordinator, and handling everything with positivity and warmth! So fun to work with you, even when the power goes out.

Here is a preview of the day:

St. Cecilia Music Center Wedding

Grand Rapids, MI

Congratulations Heather and Paul!! What a fun wedding at St. Cecilia Music Center downtown! These two are just the cutest. What a sweet, laid-back couple. They made sure they had time to relax and have fun where they had their first date, Stella’s, in the downtime of the day. Who knew back then that we’d be there on their wedding day, sippin’ drinks with their besties?
They met at work and became inseparable pretty quickly. Paul proposed three months later on New Year’s Day, so that they could be engaged the entire year.
Heather and Paul love new places, travel, going to small restaurants off the beaten path, and Michigan State sports.
Happy Honeymoon in Italy guys! Thank you so much for choosing me to document your story. Here is a preview of the day:

WINTER WONDERLAND WEDDING- MCKAY BALLROOM

Congratulations to Lexi and Josh!! What a beautiful winter wonderland wedding! It was gorgeous— just as gorgeous as these two.

They met through Bumble, but actually met a few years prior. Two years ago, they had their first date at Maru, in East Lansing, and have been together ever since. On their one-year anniversary, Josh set up the surprise proposal. They went on a carriage ride that stopped on the Blue Bridge. It was decorated with rose petals, candles, and wooden blocks of their initials. After Lexi said yes, they were dropped off at the Kitchen by Wolfgang Puck, where their families were waiting.

You can see that the Blue Bridge was in full view at the JWMarriott, where Lexi was getting ready. I also loved that we got to stroll through where we had their engagement session! If you missed that, please check it out here:
