It's the middle of the summer here in Michigan (in fact today is the hottest day we have had thus far!) and I am recapping some of my favorite weddings. This particular event from this past January has me anticipating the holidays already! The Gatsby inspired details were impeccable, and gold glitter and red during our snowy winters here was beyond gorgeous!   Every year I always say I am not going to work in the winter here anymore, but then a wedding like this comes along and makes me fall in love with winter events all over again.  Here are some of my favorites from Jim + Laura's wedding day!

Ben and Sara's beautiful wedding was a couple of weeks ago in Muskegon in the most gorgeous catholic church you've ever seen. We loved working with such a sweet couple with such stunning details (the bride's shoes! the stunning invitations! the flowers!).  My favorite part of this entire wedding happened at the reception, when the bride and groom stunned their guests by going from a traditional first dance to an amazing show as they transitioned from tango to salsa to modern day hip hop. It was pretty spectacular and such a testament to what a fun-loving day this was! Here are a few of my favorites!  Scroll down to browse a gallery with even more images!  Congrats to the new Mr. & Mrs!

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!
