Sam & Alec's wedding up north was breathtakingly beautiful. Something I find myself saying on every wedding day is how the current bride is the most beautiful bride I have ever had. I truly believe it too-- something about how a girl glow's on her big day I think. But Sam? Sam was truly stunning, and her dress choice was amazing. I am still secretly coveting it, and wish I could have a wedding day all over again myself just so I could wear it! Once you see the bow on the back, you'll understand! 

We couldn't have had a better summer day for an outdoor wedding-- the couple said their vows (after seven years of dating!) overlooking Lake Bellaire and released balloons into the afternoon sun.  Details like pops of pink, gorgeous peony blooms and rustic touches tied this northern Michigan event together. Here are some of my favorite photos from their day (including a funny photo of the bride's family with her dad who had a minor accident while constructing centerpieces-- scroll down to see them all giving the thumbs up! What a great family!) and the sweetest father/daughter first look! Scroll all the way down to click through even more photos in the gallery at your own pace! Enjoy, and congrats to the new Mr. & Mrs!

Last week Whitney and Cory officially tied the knot amongst friends and family at Thornapple Country Club. Touches of royal blue tied everything together from the invitation suite to the groom's plaid shirt and chambray suit.  Gold details, vintage forks, personalized mason jars and a cheesecake station made this wedding super unique and beautiful.  As if that weren't enough, the sweetest moments during first looks, toasts and dances made this wedding day a joy to be a part of! Thanks Mr. & Mrs. Moore for including me in your big day! Here are some of my favorites below, and be sure to scroll all the way down to browse the gallery.

It's no secret that there aren't many things I love more than a wedding day. The details coming together, the excitement and the beauty... so many reasons that documenting loves stories is a passion of mine. When I get to spend the day with couples who are kind, generous and perfect for each other its like Christmas morning for me. Katelyn and Jordan's wedding was just that, and more. Two kinder souls you won't find; Katelyn teaches special education and Jordan is a social worker; two people who daily live selflessly for others.  Both Jordan and Katelyn's family and friends were incredibly kind and made the day a joy.

I always love a groom who is beyond excited to marry his bride-- let's just say Jordan broke into a dance whenever he saw Katelyn for the first time. You just have to smile when that happens! These two were more focused on their marriage than the wedding day, but their details weren't lacking my any means. From popcorn favors, to vintage furniture the reception was impeccably chic and beyond perfect! So much so, that the Knot even featured them on their website! You can check that out HERE if you would like to!

Congratulations Katelyn & Jordan!  Here are some of my favorites from their day...
